Cyanotic congenital heart disease
A number of entities can present as cyanotic congenital heart disease. These can be divided into those with increased or decreased pulmonary vascularity (pulmonary plethora):
-
increased pulmonary vascularity
- total anomalous pulmonary venous return (TAPVR) (types I and II)
- transposition of the great arteries (TGA)
- truncus arteriosus (types I, II and III)
- large AVSD
- single ventricle without pulmonary stenosis
-
decreased pulmonary vascularity
- tetralogy of Fallot
- pentalogy of Cantrell
- many other combined and infrequent anomalies such as
- double outlet right ventricle (DORV) with pulmonary stenosis
- single ventricle with pulmonary stenosis
- Ebstein anomaly with atrial septal defect
- Uhl anomaly

There is more than one way to present the variety of congenital heart diseases. Whichever way they are categorised, it is helpful to have a working understanding of normal and fetal circulation, as well as an understanding of the segmental approach to imaging in congenital heart disease.
