    99m Tc sequential angiography accurately diagnoses and monitors intracardiac shunts. This isotopic technique is reliable, quick, non-invasive, and preferred for pediatric and young adult cardiac assessments.

    Area of Science:

    • Nuclear Medicine
    • Cardiology
    • Diagnostic Imaging

    Background:

    • Intracardiac shunts require accurate diagnostic and follow-up methods.
    • Existing methods like oxymetry and contrast angiography have limitations.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the accuracy and reliability of isotopic techniques, specifically 99m Tc sequential angiography, for assessing intracardiac shunts.
    • To establish these methods as the investigation of choice for diagnosis, follow-up, and post-operative control of septal defects.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized 99m Technetium (99m Tc) sequential angiography for shunt assessment.
    • Employed scintigraphy with a scintillation camera to visualize cardiac cavities and localize shunts.
    • Compared isotopic methods with oxymetry and conventional contrast angiography.

    Main Results:

    • 99m Tc sequential angiography demonstrated high accuracy in assessing both left-right and right-left intracardiac shunts.
    • Scintigraphy successfully outlined cardiac cavities and localized left-right shunts in most cases.
    • Isotopic methods proved more accurate than oxymetry and offered advantages in speed, non-invasiveness, and reduced radiation exposure.

    Conclusions:

    • Isotopic techniques, particularly 99m Tc sequential angiography, are reliable and accurate for diagnosing and monitoring intracardiac shunts.
    • These methods are recommended for routine use in children and young adults, post-surgical repair assessment, and evaluating asymptomatic murmurs.
    • Advancements in short half-life isotopes and radioactive gases suggest future improvements in this diagnostic field.
