Abstract: This study explored the application value of 320-slice CT angiography (CTA) combined with transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) in the diagnosis and treatment of complex congenital heart disease. A total of 66 patients with ventricular septal defect (VSD) and atrial septal defect (ASD) repaired were selected for study. All children underwent TTE and CTA examinations, and the difference in the defect diameters of VSD and ASD detected by TTE and CTA were compared. A total of 118 congenital heart diseases such as ASD and VSD were found after surgical treatment and operation. The correct detection rate of CTA in 118 congenital heart disease types was 78.81%, which was higher than 64.41% of TTE, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). The correct detection rate of CTA combined with TTE in 118 congenital heart disease types was 94.07%, which was higher than 78.81% of CTA alone, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). CTA combined with TTE can significantly improve the diagnostic accuracy in the diagnosis and treatment of complex congenital heart disease compared with the two alone, which is of great value for clinical diagnosis and treatment.
