ABSTRACT
The paper discusses the influence of lung anomalies on the progress of congenital heart diseases (CHD) in infants, as well as diagnostic value of radiography and ultraspeed computed tomography (CT). The four-year experience of the authors includes preoperative examination of 178 infants with CHD (mean age 5.8 +/- 0.6 months, mean weight 5.2 +/- 0.3 kg). Lung anomalies were determined in 24 patients (13.5%) on plain films and in 85 patients (47.8%)--by means of CT. The stenosis of main bronchi in combination with lobar emphysema and lung hypoplasia were found to be the most frequent and severe predictors of respiratory disorders. The obtained data suggest that CT examination may be recommended in infants with CHD for precise diagnostics of associated lung anomalies and further prevention or early management of respiratory complications.
