ADVANCEMENTS IN IMAGING TECHNIQUES FOR COMPREHENSIVE ASSESSMENT OF PARTIAL ANOMALOUS PULMONARY VENOUS RETURN
Keywords:
PAPVR, CTA, Congenital Cardiovascular Anomaly, Vascular AnatomyAbstract
Partial anomalous pulmonary venous return (PAPVR) poses a complex diagnostic challenge due to its varied presentations and intricate vascular anatomy. This article explored the advancements in imaging modalities, particularly computed tomography angiography (CTA) in delineating the diverse manifestations of PAPVR with precision. By a detailed analysis of four clinical cases, this study elucidated the pivotal role of advanced imaging techniques in enhancing diagnostic accuracy and guiding therapeutic interventions for patients with PAPVR.
