This study examines the value of the urogram radiograph taken after angiocardiography, in children with suspected congenital heart disease, to screen for co-existent urinary tract abnormalities. A retrospective audit of post-angiocardiography urograms over a three year period 1990 to 1993 is presented. 184 urograms obtained in 166 children were reviewed (86 males; mean age 18.1 months). Twenty-five urograms (13.6%) were obtained in cases where the urinary tract had previously been investigated. These urograms contributed no additional information. Image quality was suboptimal in 62 examinations (33.7%), due to gas, faeces or poor opacification, and two lesions were undetected on suboptimal radiographs. Urinary tract abnormalities were detected in 17 patients (10.2%). These lesions were also detectable at sonography. We suggest that routine post-angiocardiography urograms can be abandoned in favour of sonographic screening of the urinary tract in children with congenital heart disease.
