Applying preoperative multidetector computed tomography to bilateral coronary artery fistulas.
Coronary artery fistula arising from both the right coronary artery and the circumflex coronary artery is rare. A 28-year-old woman with non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus and end-stage renal disease who was on regular hemodialysis complained of recent progressive exertional dyspnea. Congestive heart failure was diagnosed during work-up for simultaneous kidney and pancreas transplantation....
متن کاملBilateral complex coronary artery pulmonary artery fistulas demonstrated by multidetector computed tomography.
An 80-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital because of chest discomfort. Emergent coronary angiography revealed bilateral coronary artery fistulas (CAFs) and severe stenosis of the left anterior descending artery (LAD) followed by successful coronary intervention. Threedimensional volume rendered computed tomography angiography (CTA) (Aquilion 16 TSX-101A, Toshiba, Otawara, Japan) images ...
متن کاملMultidetector-Row Computed Tomography Coronary Angiography
onsiderable progress has recently been achieved in the field of noninvasive imaging of the coronary arteries by computed tomography (CT). Multidetector-row CT (MDCT) scanners are equipped with thinner detectors and have a shorter rotation time, which enables considerably faster volume coverage with a thinner slice width during a single breath hold. The entire heart volume can be covered with ne...
متن کاملExtremely rare single right coronary artery: multidetector computed tomography findings.
Coronary anomalies are rare, with a reported prevalence of 1.3% among patients who undergo coronary angiography. The great majority of coronary artery anomalies are incidental findings and are not clinically significant, but in some cases, may be responsible for angina, syncope, arrhythmias or even sudden death. In the following case, we describe coronary CT angiography findings of one of the r...
متن کاملCharacterization of coronary atherosclerotic plaques by multidetector computed tomography.
Multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) provides 3-dimensional noninvasive visualization of the coronary arterial tree. We compared MDCT with intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) for assessment of severity of coronary artery stenosis and composition of atherosclerotic plaques in 40 patients (32 men; mean age 52 years, range 33 to 86) with documented coronary artery disease. Cross-sectional images o...
