Postoperative cardiac findings and implanted devices are increasingly encountered on routine chest CT, yet misinterpretation can lead to missed complications or unnecessary workup. This chapter reviews the expected postoperative appearance of common repaired congenital heart diseases and widely encountered cardiovascular devices on routine non-gated chest CT performed for non-cardiac indications, with emphasis on recognition, common pitfalls, complications, and recommended next-step investigations if needed.

摘要

Postoperative cardiac findings and implanted devices are increasingly encountered on routine chest CT, yet misinterpretation can lead to missed complications or unnecessary workup. This chapter reviews the expected postoperative appearance of common repaired congenital heart diseases and widely encountered cardiovascular devices on routine non-gated chest CT performed for non-cardiac indications, with emphasis on recognition, common pitfalls, complications, and recommended next-step investigations if needed.
