In 680 cases of congenital heart disease, the authors discovered 49 uropathies (i.e. 7.2%) diagnosed thanks to a film of the urinary apparatus taken during angiocardiography. These uropathies were encountered mainly during ventricular septal defects, pulmonary stenosis and Fallot's tetralogy. The diagnostic value of the film during angiocardiography is great as it revealed 22 out of 49 uropathies (i.e. 44.9%) clinically silent until then.
