HABERMAN, Diego et al. Congenital abnormalities of aortic artery: Assessment in neonates and early childhodd with multislice tomography. Rev. argent. radiol. [online]. 2009, vol.73, n.3, pp.281-290. ISSN 1852-9992.

In the evaluation of aortic artery congenital abnormalities, the echocardiography and the plain X ray are the traditionally used imaging methods. Multislice angiotomography appears as an important method in diagnosis of these different diseases allowing evaluate these entities in a non invasive, fast and accurate form, giving to cardiovascular surgeons very important information to delineate the surgical strategy.
