Growth and function of the right ventricular outflow tract after Fontan's procedure for tricuspid atresia: a two-dimensional echocardiographic study.

Two patients with classical tricuspid valve atresia were studied by two-dimensional echocardiography before and up to 6 years after Fontan's correction. Preoperative investigation revealed a diminutive right ventricular outflow chamber, which increased in size postoperatively and became functional. These data were compared to those obtained in normal individuals.

Direct conversion of real-time two-dimensional echocardiographic images.

This paper describes an instrument which performs a direct conversion of real-time, two-dimensional echocardiographic images into standard television format. The convertor has been designed to display images on a television monitor and to store images on a videorecorder in standard video format. Design considerations and a block diagram are discussed as well as a method for real-time processing of images by means of such a convertor.
