Precise noninvasive evaluation of pulmonary artery (PA) morphology is extremely important for medical and surgical management of patients with cyanotic heart disease. In this study, the accuracy of two-dimensional echocardiography combined with color Doppler flow mapping to assess the size, stenosis, and atresia of the major PA branches was examined using a new parasternal approach.
