Abstract
CTA is accurate in the preoperative evaluation of infants with ToF-PA and MAPCAs and is associated with a substantially lower radiation dose than catheterization. Preoperative diagnostic catheterization, therefore, may only be necessary in select patients with small MAPCAs in whom the precise assessment of central pulmonary arteries is required for surgical planning.
