Congenital unilateral absence of the left pulmonary artery. Echocardiography in reverse

E Borgeson and JH Vogel

This study demonstrates that when the heart is markedly displaced posteriorly to the left, or perhaps to the right, the posterior approach may make echocardiographic evaluation possible. Thus, in a patient with congenital unilateral absence of the left pulmonary artery, with marked displacement of the heart posteriorly, it was possible to obtain a satisfactory echocardiogram "in reverse" from the back, whereas no echoes were obtainable from the standard anterior positions.
