[Contribution of cardiac CT in the management of congenital heart disease : experience of the Abidjan cardiology institute in 27 cases].

Introduction And Objectives: In contrast to developed countries, cardiac CT is not widely used in West Africa for the assessment of congenital heart disease, and has only recently been introduced in Côte d'Ivoire. The lack of data prompted this study, the aim of which was to describe our experience of the contribution of CT to the management of congenital heart disease in the Ivorian cardiology setting.

Patients And Method: This was a prospective study which took place in the pediatric cardiology department over a period of 9 months (September 2022 to June 2023) which included all patients with congenital heart disease explored by echocardiography and cardiac scan.
