Dual-source CT coronary angiographic evaluation of coronary artery fistulas
The aim of the present study was to retrospectively evaluate the incidence and morphological features of coronary artery fistulas (CAFs) detected by dual-source computed tomography coronary angiography (DS-CTCA). Between January 2011 and January 2013, 19,584 consecutive patients that had undergone electrocardiogram-triggering DS-CTCA were retrospectively reviewed. Image reconstructions were per...
متن کاملThe diagnostic evaluation of dual-source CT (DSCT) in the diagnosis of coronary artery stenoses
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of dual-source computed tomography (DSCT) in the diagnosis of coronary artery stenoses by comparing with conventional coronary angiography (CCA). METHODOLOGY CCA and DSCT were performed in 64 patients with suspected coronary artery disease (CAD) respectively (46 male, 18 female, age from 48 to 82 years old, mean 68.18 years). Various post-processi...
متن کامل[Dual coronary artery fistulas as a cause of unstable angina].
Coronary artery fistulas are a rare congenital coronary anomaly. Although often small and diagnosed by chance, they can cause a wide range of symptoms associated with myocardial ischemia, including sudden death. We present the case of a 63-year-old woman with cardiovascular risk factors of overweight, smoking, and high blood pressure. For several years, following moderate effort the patient had...
متن کاملAn evaluation of coronary artery plaque burden in asymptomatic type 2 diabetics using dual-source CT coronary angiography
Introduction Current International Diabetes Federation (IDF) and American Diabetes Association (ADA) guidelines advocate investigation for coronary artery disease (CAD) in only those patients who have either typical/atypical cardiac symptoms or an abnormal resting ECG. As it is well established that diabetics with CAD may be asymptomatic, we hypothesised that a large proportion of asymptomatic ...
متن کاملLow-dose dual-source CT angiography with iterative reconstruction for coronary artery stent evaluation.
OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to evaluate the image quality and diagnostic accuracy of very low-dose, dual-source computed tomography (DSCT) angiography for the evaluation of coronary stents. BACKGROUND Iterative reconstruction (IR) leads to substantial reduction of image noise and hence permits the use of very low-dose data acquisition protocols in coronary computed tomography ang...
