Angiocardiography is a standard procedure for quantification and evaluation of @entity299 . Knowledge of the diameters at the level of @entity886 , ascending and descending aorta can contribute to the decision in repair of @entity299 . Moreover, they are helpful for postoperative follow-up studies. In order to establish normal standards, analysis was performed on 51 cineangiograms obtained from @entity1 , @entity1 and adolescents with no evidence of @entity299 (n = 16) or only hemodynamically irrelevant @entity65 (n = 35). The individual diagnoses in these @entity1 appear in the accompanying publication in this issue. @entity1 with @entity4503 or @entity21519 were excluded from measurements of the @entity886 , the sinus and the ascending aorta. Angiocardiography was performed in a fasting state, after sedation and in the supine position with injections of contrast material in the pulmonary artery and or in the left ventricle and ascending aorta. For purposes of calibration, a grid or the known diameter of the catheter was used. Systolic and diastolic diameters of the @entity886 ( @entity886 ), sinus ( @entity72751 ) and distal region, between sinus valsalvae and ascending aorta (AO-D), as well as those of the isthmus (DAO-I), postisthmic region (DAO-PI) and @entity823 ( @entity823 ) were measured. To obtain a mean value for each vascular structure, the corresponding systolic and diastolic diameters were averaged. The mean diameter was referenced to body length and body surface area (BSA).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
