Balloon occlusion aortography (BOA) is a safe and effective imaging technique for congenital heart disease in infants. While generally successful, precise visualization may require selective angiography in older children.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Pediatric Cardiology
  • Interventional Radiology

Background:

  • Congenital heart disease necessitates advanced diagnostic imaging.
  • Balloon occlusion aortography (BOA) is an interventional technique with potential applications in pediatric cardiology.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the diagnostic validity and safety of balloon occlusion aortography (BOA) in infants and children with congenital heart disease.
  • To assess the utility of BOA for imaging the aortic arch, pulmonary arteries, and coronary arteries.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of 18 patients with congenital heart disease undergoing BOA.
  • Procedures included aortic arch, pulmonary, and coronary arteriography using balloon occlusion techniques.
  • Patient cohort included neonates and infants with varying congenital heart defects.

Main Results:

  • Diagnostic information was satisfactory in 17 out of 18 patients (94.4%).
  • BOA successfully visualized the aortic arch, pulmonary arteries, and coronary arteries in most pediatric patients.
  • One case of pulmonary artery under-visualization occurred due to complex hemodynamics.

Conclusions:

  • Balloon occlusion aortography is a safe and valuable diagnostic tool for evaluating congenital heart disease in infants.
  • For children over 3 years, selective angiography may be preferred due to potential difficulties in aortic occlusion.
  • BOA offers a reliable method for detailed vascular imaging in complex pediatric cardiac cases.
