Persistent transitional circulation. Roentgenographic findings in thirteen infants

HC Nielson, TA Riemenschneider and RB Jaffe

Chest roentgenograms in 13 infants and angiocardiograms in 11 infants with persistent transitional circulation (PCT) syndrome were reviewed. Chest radiographs typically revealed congestive heart failure with pulmonary venous congestion, cardiomegaly, hepatomegaly, and pleural effusions. Angiocardiography demonstrated a right-to-left shunt through the ductus arteriosus, ventricular dilatation, poor myocardial function, and ventricular emptying. Cardiopulmonary abnormalities resolved over a period of 2-6 days in survivors. PTC syndrome as seen at the authors' institution has been an important and relatively common cause of congestive heart failure and cyanosis in the newborn. The incidence of congestive failure was higher than in other reported series.
