Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
A newborn infant with tetralogy of Fallot and absent pulmonary valve was successfully corrected in two stages. Absent pulmonary valve syndrome presenting in early infancy manifests severe respiratory symptoms that still make challenging both management and surgical treatment. This is ascribed to tracheobronchial compression by the extremely dilated pulmonary arteries, and to the resultant pulmonary obstructive lesions. We report herein the first findings of 99mTechnegas ventilation lung scanning in an infant with the syndrome to assess the pulmonary obstructive lesions. |
