A cardiac CT examination was performed to specify the diagnosis of a DORV after an echocardiography in 9-month old baby girl.

A 9-month-old baby girl, with a history of a “heart murmur” for the past 6 months, was admitted for diagnosis and treatment. Physical examination revealed a cyanosis, an acropachy, and a heart murmur (level 3/6) on the left side of the sternum. An echocardiography showed a Tetralogy of Fallot, a patent ductus arteriosus (PDA), a persistent left superior vena cava (PLSVC) and a suspected double-outlet right ventricle (DORV). Cardiac CT examination was requested to specify the diagnosis of a DORV.

The outcomes by Siemens Healthineers customers described herein are based on results that were achieved in the customer’s unique setting. Since there is no “typical” hospital and many variables exist (e.g., hospital size, case mix, level of IT adoption) there can be no guarantee that other customers will achieve the same results.
