Diagnostic Application of Multidetector-Row Computed Tomographic Coronary Angiography to Assess Coronary Abnormalities in Pediatric Patients: Comparison With Invasive Coronary Angiography

Abstract

We conclude that MDCT is a good and useful modality for assessment of congenital or acquired coronary abnormalities in pediatric patients. However, MDCT cannot replace invasive cardiac catheterization and ICA because of lack of therapeutic role.
