    The McGoon ratio is used to evaluate the diameter of the pulmonary arteries in relation to the descending thoracic aorta to determine if a patient's pulmonary arteries are suitable for closure of a ventricular septal defect. It is calculated by measuring the diameters of the right and left pulmonary arteries and relating them to the diameter of the descending thoracic aorta at the level of the diaphragm. A normal McGoon ratio is 2.1, while a ratio of 1.2 or higher indicates the pulmonary arteries are adequate for closure of a ventricular septal defect and a ratio below 0.8 suggests they are inadequate.
