Aortic origin of right pulmonary artery: early detection by cross-sectional and color-Doppler-echocardiography in two infants submitted to successful surgical repair

The aortic origin of the right pulmonary artery was recognized in two infants by cross-sectional echocardiography. The sub-costal short axis view was sufficient to make the diagnosis. The Doppler and color-Doppler techniques were useful in adding the hemodynamic information to the anatomical diagnos...

Zusammenfassung:	The aortic origin of the right pulmonary artery was recognized in two infants by cross-sectional echocardiography. The sub-costal short axis view was sufficient to make the diagnosis. The Doppler and color-Doppler techniques were useful in adding the hemodynamic information to the anatomical diagnosis. Early surgical correction was performed in the infants with success without needing to resort to cardiac catheterization.
