Showing 1 Abstract.

Congenital heart disease (CHD) is the most common type of birth defect; affecting ~1% of the births per year in the U.S. Advancements in medical and surgical treatment have markedly improved survival and even infants with complex CHD survive into adulthood. However, extracardiac complications in the newborn period can cause increased morbidity and mortality. These complications can relate to alteration in flow dynamics, treatment changes, and/or sequelae of associated syndromes (Trisomy 21, 22q deletion syndrome, Heterotaxy, PHACES). The purpose of this exhibit is to highlight extracardiac complications of CHD and to review their imaging findings. Imaging findings to be reviewed will include catheter thromboses, necrotizing enterocolitis, arterial ischemic strokes, infections, malrotation, pulmonary complications related to prematurity, prolonged intubations, and associated syndromes, and complications of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. The goal of this exhibit is to familiarize radiologists with the multiplicity of extracardiac complications in infants with CHD and to review the common imaging findings. Read More
