Abstract

Aortic abnormalities are uncommon but potentially life-threatening disorders that require proper diagnosis and treatment. Aortic abnormalities in infants are predicted to occur in 2-6/10,000 live births, with aortic coarctation being the most prevalent one. Radiological imaging is essential in the identification and treatment of juvenile aortic abnormalities. Cardiovascular computed tomography (CCT) and echocardiography (Echo) are two imaging modalities that are frequently utilized to diagnose aortic abnormalities in pediatric patients. Both procedures have advantages and disadvantages, and they are typically used in conjunction to provide a complete examination of aortic anatomy and function. In this paper, we will discuss the diagnostic capability of Cardiovascular Computed Tomography (CCT) and Echocardiography for aortic abnormalities in paediatric patients, with a focus on their surgical implications.
