MRI of Cardiovascular Malformations
MRI is a non-invasive and non-ionizing imaging modality that is perfectly suited for the diagnosis and follow-up of both pediatric and adult congenital heart disease. It provides a large field of view and has the unique ability to depict complex cardiac a

This book is devoted to: Children with congenital heart disease (with the hope that this book may modestly contribute to a better understanding and treatment of their disease). My children, Tiphaine, Adrian and Florian (who patiently acted as dummies to prepare this atlas). My nephews and nieces, Amandine, Hermance and Lysandre; Benjamin, Milena, Zelia and Aurelien. My wife Blandine, already 35 years by my side. Professor Wackenheim, who inspired me to illustrate pathological cases by diagrams.
Preface
For many years, the diagnosis of congenital cardiovascular anomalies was based on conventional radiography, catheterization and angiography. Non-invasive cardiac imaging was dramatically improved in the middle of the 1970s with the development of echocardiography, which considerably reduced the need for cardiac catheterization. This book summarizes years of “clinical collaborative work” to confirm the value of MRI, alongside echocardiography, in the management and follow-up of patients with congenital cardiovascular anomalies. This adventure began in 1987 in Strasbourg in close collaborati
