“…Whilst echocardiography remains a vital imaging assessment modality as patients grow into adulthood, there is an appreciation that the quality of echocardiographic images may be degraded due to diminishing acoustic windows. Multiple factors could be implicated such as higher BMIs, chest wall deformity and particularly in patients who have had prior surgical procedures [7].…”

A Fontan circulation is a series of palliative surgical procedures, which result in the diversion of the systemic venous return into pulmonary arterial circulation without passing through a ventricle. It is one of the available surgical strategies for patients with cardiac defects that preclude a successful bi-ventricular repair, which encompass a range of complex anatomy. This surgical repair has gone through a series of modifications since the concept was introduced in 1971. Echocardiography remains a vital tool in assessing patients with Fontan circulations but its limitations are well recognised. Cross-sectional imaging modalities such as cardiac MRI and CT are essential components in the systematic clinical evaluation of these patients. The purpose of this review is to understand the information that can be obtained with each cross-sectional modality as well as highlight the challenges that each modality faces.

“…Complex cardiac anomalies are frequently associated with extra-cardiac malformations (Prakash et al, 2010). The diagnosis of a congenital heart disease in a fetus should include prompt evaluation for associated non cardiac malformations and diagnosis of genetic syndromes (Carvalho et al, 2002).…”

“…As a consequence, there remains room for other modalities in studying the fetal cardiovascular system. Cardiac Magnetic Resonance imaging (CMR) proved unequivocal advantages over other cardiac imaging modalities (Prakash et al, 2010). Technical advances during the last decade have brought CMR into the mainstream of noninvasive cardiac imaging.…”

Computed tomography in congenital heart disease: how generic principles can be applied to create bespoke protocols in the Fontan circuit

Cardiac computed tomography (CCT) has become an invaluable cross-sectional imaging modality in congenital heart disease (CHD) patients. However, altered anatomical connections and cardiovascular physiology makes CHD arguably the most challenging area in CCT imaging, which remains a complimentary modality to cardiac magnetic resonance and echocardiography. A bespoke CT protocol is often required to achieve a diagnostic examination; this can be achieved through careful consideration of the basic principles of image acquisition and contrast administration. This article reviews these principles and demonstrates how they can be applied to CCT in CHD using the Fontan circulation as an example.
