Minimizing radiation injury and neoplastic effects during pediatric fluoroscopy: what should we know?

abstract：:Pulmonary venous anomalies comprise a wide spectrum of anatomical variations and their clinical presentations may vary from the relatively benign single partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection (PAPVC) to the critical obstructed total anomalous pulmonary venous connection (TAPVC). We briefly review the common ano...
