Echocardiography

  • Useful in determining associated abnormalities.
  • Weyman et al were able to visualize this area and make the diagnosis on 2D echo in 16/18 patients.
  • Confirmation by cardiac catheterization is unnecessary. Only done when the diagnosis is unclear, which is rare. It is mandatory in the infant to determine preoperative anatomy.
