Angiocardiography is of considerable value in the dimensional analysis of the right ventricular (RV) cavity, but conventional angiocardiography requires large amounts of contrast medium. In this study digital subtraction angiocardiography was applied to biplane RV projections of 25 children with congenital heart disease after direct injection of a small dose of contrast medium. Volume measurements were compared with those obtained by conventional angiocardiography. The amount of contrast medium required was reduced to 30%, flow rate to 57% and ventricular ectopic activity to 60% of that used in conventional angiocardiography, and the degree of radiation exposure was reduced considerably. There was a good correlation for end-diastolic (r = 0.996) and end-systolic volume (r = 0.990) determined with both techniques. Digital subtraction angiography after selective RV injection allows accurate volume measurements of the right ventricle in children with congenital heart disease. The main benefits of this method are reduction of the amount of contrast medium, flow rate during injection, radiation and ventricular ectopic activity.
