Abstract

The article assesses whether the use of the reconstructed en-face view with color Doppler imaging of the four cardiac values can demonstrate the different types of spatial relationship of the arterial trunks with the transposition of the great arteries (TGA) in order to derive the risk of coronary abnormalities. The information gathered may be used during counseling to predict the likelihood of abnormal coronary arterial distribution.
