Proposed standard preoperative transthoracic echocardiographic views and reporting elements [82, 83]
| Standard views with TTE . | Reporting elements . |
|---|---|
| Subcostal long- and short-axis | Atrial septum and shunts, drainage of the systemic and pulmonary veins, coronary sinus dilatation, relationship of the single arterial trunk to the ventricles, branch PAs and origins from the single arterial trunk |
| Parasternal long- and short-axis | Relationship of single arterial trunk to the ventricles, morphology and function of the truncal valve including commissures and numbers of leaflets, pulmonary anatomy, coronary anatomy |
| Apical 4- and 5-chamber | AV valve morphology and function, function of the truncal valve, ventricular septum, ventricular size and function, origin of the main and/or branch PAs |
| Suprasternal long- and short-axis | Arch anatomy including sidedness, presence of coarctation or IAA, presence of left SVC, pulmonary venous drainage, branch PAs and origins from the single arterial trunk |
