Right ventricular inflow obstructions include tricuspid valve abnormalities, such as Ebstein anomaly, tricuspid valve dysplasia, and tricuspid atresia. Right ventricular outflow obstructions include pulmonary valve stenosis, pulmonary atresia, and tetralogy of Fallot. Cardiac computed tomography angiography (CCTA) is a valuable tool for the diagnosis, treatment planning, and follow-up of these lesions. In this pictorial review, we highlight the diagnostic utility of CCTA in congenital right heart obstructive lesions, emphasizing its role in preoperative planning.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/diagnostics16131959","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,6,24]],"date-time":"2026-06-24T07:57:24Z","timestamp":1782287844000},"page":"1959","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["CCTA of Pediatric Congenital Right Heart Obstructive Lesions: A Pictorial Review"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"16","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7911-6342","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Zuofeng","family":"Zheng","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiology, Beijing Anzhen Hospital, Capital Medical University, Beijing 100029, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8499-0448","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Lei","family":"Xu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiology, Beijing Anzhen Hospital, Capital Medical University, Beijing 100029, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,6,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"75","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jcct.2023.06.005","article-title":"Technical recommendations for computed tomography guidance of intervention in the right ventricular outflow tract: Native RVOT, conduits and bioprosthetic valves","volume":"18","author":"Han","year":"2024","journal-title":"J.
