Smallhorn, J F, Anderson, R H, Macartney, F J
The value of two dimensional echocardiography in identifying communications between the ascending aorta and pulmonary trunk or individual pulmonary arteries was assessed in 24 children, all of whom...
Two dimensional echocardiographic diagnosis of situs.
Huhta, J C, Smallhorn, J F, Macartney, F J
At present there is no reliable method of recognising atrial isomerism by two dimensional echocardiography. We therefore used two dimensional echocardiography to examine 158 patients including 25...

Five patients with isolated clefts in the anterior leaflet of the mitral valve, unassociated with atrioventricular septal defects, are described. All had significant mitral regurgitation, with the...
Smallhorn, J F, Anderson, R H, Macartney, F J
Interrupted aortic arch is a rare condition, usually lethal in early infancy without treatment. The only characteristic feature on conventional non-invasive investigation is peripheral pulse...
Suprasternal cross-sectional echocardiography in assessment of patient ducts arteriosus.
Smallhorn, J F, Huhta, J C, Anderson, R H, Macartney, F J
Ninety-four patients with patent ductus arteriosus, whose ages ranged from 28 weeks gestation to 8 years, were assessed by suprasternal cross-sectional echocardiography. A further group of 37 cases...
Smallhorn, J F, Sutherland, G R, Anderson, R H, Macartney, F J
Ninety two patients with both atrioventricular valves attached to the atrial septum, roofing a perimembranous inlet ventricular septal defect, were assessed by cross-sectional echocardiography. In...
Cross-sectional echocardiographic diagnosis of systemic venous return.
Huhta, J C, Smallhorn, J F, Macartney, F J, Anderson, R H, De Leval, M
To determine the sensitivity and specificity of cross-sectional echocardiography in diagnosing anomalous systemic venous return we used the technique in 800 consecutive children with congenital heart...
Smallhorn, J F, Anderson, R H, Macartney, F J
Cross-sectional echocardiograms of 18 neonates and infants with coarctation of the aorta and ventricular septal defect were retrospectively assessed. With a combination of subcostal and precordial...
Atrioventricular discordance. Cross-sectional echocardiographic--morphological correlative study.
Sutherland, G R, Smallhorn, J F, Anderson, R H, Rigby, M L, Hunter, S
Cross-sectional echocardiographic assessment of coarctation in the sick neonate and infant.
Smallhorn, J F, Huhta, J C, Adams, P A, Anderson, R H, Wilkinson, J L, Macartney, F J
To establish an integrated non-invasive method for diagnosing coarctation, cross-sectional echocardiographic appearances of 48 neonates and infants with coarctation were combined with clinical...
Smallhorn, J F, Tommasini, G, Macartney, F J
Twelve patients with univentricular heart and common atrioventricular valve were identified by two-dimensional echocardiography. Seven had an ostium primum atrial septal defect and five a common...
Smallhorn, J F, Tommasini, G, Macartney, F J
Sixteen patients with a straddling tricuspid and two with a straddling mitral valve were identified by two dimensional echocardiography. In all but one the atrioventricular valves appeared at the...
Assessment of total anomalous pulmonary venous connection by two-dimensional echocardiography.
Smallhorn, J F, Sutherland, G R, Tommasini, G, Hunter, S, Anderson, R H, Macartney, F J
Twenty-three patients with total anomalous pulmonary venous connection were studied by two-dimensional echocardiography. In all cases the diagnosis was made before invasive procedures, with surgical...

Leung, M P, Benson, L N, Smallhorn, J F, Williams, W G, Trusler, G A, Freedom, R M
Among 74 survivors of the Fontan type of operation abnormal cardiac signs were detected in 46 (62%) at postoperative examination. The findings were analysed in relation to the state of the...
Koike, K, Musewe, N N, Smallhorn, J F, Freedom, R M
Patients with anomalous origin of the left coronary artery from the pulmonary trunk usually have a large right coronary artery. This study examines the diagnostic value of measuring the diameter of...
Vogel, M, Benson, L N, Burrows, P, Smallhorn, J F, Freedom, R M
Percutaneous balloon dilatation of the aortic valve was attempted in 25 consecutive patients with stenosis. The aortic valve diameters were normal for age. The balloon catheters were placed...
