Countercurrent aortography performed through left brachial artery in 8 children, aging 27 days to 42 months. Systemic-pulmonary anastomosis was possible to be assessed in 3 out of 4 cases, even in one aging 42 months. Aortic coarctation could be evaluated in another 3 patients. In the last case with a clinical suspection of vascular ring, countercurrent aortography disclosed an anomalous right subclavian artery. We concluded that the procedure is safe and useful to assess some conditions involving thoracic aorta, even in older children.
对8名年龄在27天至42个月的儿童经左肱动脉进行了逆行主动脉造影。4例中有3例能够评估体肺分流情况，甚至包括1例42个月大的患儿。另外3例患者能够评估主动脉缩窄情况。在最后1例临床怀疑有血管环的病例中，逆行主动脉造影显示右锁骨下动脉异常。我们得出结论，该操作对于评估一些涉及胸主动脉的情况是安全且有用的，即使是年龄较大的儿童。
