Aortopulmonary (AP) window is an extremely rare congenital anomaly involving a communication between the ascending aorta and pulmonary artery. Two-dimensional transthoracic echocardiography is traditionally used in the diagnosis but has limitations. We report the usefulness of three-dimensional transthoracic echocardiography in the assessment of AP window in two newborns studied by us.
主肺动脉窗是一种极其罕见的先天性异常,涉及升主动脉与肺动脉之间的交通。传统上使用二维经胸超声心动图进行诊断,但存在局限性。我们报告了三维经胸超声心动图在我们研究的两名新生儿主肺动脉窗评估中的应用价值。
