Jan 19, 2024 · Feature Editor’s Introduction—Conotruncal malformations are common, and, in fact, constitute the most common subgroup of congenital heart defects. The morphology, development, and classification of conotruncal malformations, however, remain some of the most controversial issues and a topic of ongoing debates.

A group of congenital cardiac outflow tract anomalies that include such defects as tetralogy of Fallot, pulmonary atresia with ventricular septal defect, double-outlet right ventricle (DORV), double-outlet left ventricle, truncus arteriosus and transposition of …

Mar 30, 2016 · Conotruncal anomalies are malformations of the infundibulum (conus arteriosus) and great arteries (truncus arteriosus) that have abnormal ventriculo-arterial alignments and connections: tetralogy of Fallot, truncus arteriosus, interrupted aortic arch type B,...

Apr 22, 2022 · Conotruncal heart defects are a group of congenital cardiovascular anomalies involving the outflow tracts and great vessels. They are a leading cause of symptomatic cyanotic cardiac disease diagnosed in utero.

The cardiac OFT, comprised of the conus or bulbus cordis and the truncus arteriosus (together called the conotruncal region), is a rapidly remodeling structure during embryogenesis at the arterial pole of the heart, as it connects the embryonic ventricles to the aortic sac [3].

Feb 27, 2015 · Conotruncal anomalies are a group of congenital heart defects involving the outflow tract of the heart and great vessels. The conotruncal anomalies include tetralogy of Fallot (TOF), transposition of the great arteries (TGA), double-outlet ventricles, and truncus arteriosus.

Conotruncal anomalies (CTA) are a broad category of congenital heart disease (CHD) that includes a variety of conditions like Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) and its variants absent pulmonary valve (TOF-APV) and pulmonary atresia (TOF-PA), double outlet right ventricle and its variants (DORV), Transposition of great arteries (TGA) and persistent ...

CT is a useful, noninvasive imaging modality for the pre- and postoperative assessment of conotruncal anomalies. The major conotruncal anomalies include tetralogy of Fallot, double-outlet right ventricle, transposition of the great arteries, truncus arteriosus, and interrupted aortic arch.

This article reviews the characteristics of some of the most common conotruncal defects and the imaging options available along with the advantages and disadvantages of each. Intricate knowledge of the capabilities of each modality will aid the …
