| Objective | In the present study, main bronchial size was evaluated bilaterally in normal subjects using multidetectorrow computed tomography (MDCT), and the feasibility for diagnosis of bronchial narrowing in children with CHD associated with increased pulmonary blood flow was investigated. |
| p Value | <0.001 |
| Conclusion | Our study suggests that MDCT can be used to quantify bilateral bronchial narrowing. Left main bronchial obstruction develops during the early stage of heart failure, followed by the development of right bronchial narrowing. |
