Measuring of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm with Three-Dimensional Computed Tomography Reconstruction before Endovascular Aortic Aneurysm Repair
PURPOSE Conventional computed tomography (CT) is the gold standard method for case planning for endovascular aortic aneurysm repair (EVAR). However, aortography with a marking catheter is needed for measuring the actual length of an aneurysm. With advances in imaging technology, a 3-dimensional (3D) workstation can obviate the need for the aortography. The objective of this study was to determi...
متن کاملEndovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm repair.
The early 1990s ushered in the era of endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR). Diffusion of this technology, although widespread, has been met with enthusiasm by some and caution by others. Advocates of traditional open surgical techniques maintain that EVAR is costly and that long-term outcomes for patients are inferior. The objectives of the present review are to use a case scenario to highlight ...
متن کاملEndovascular Aortic Aneurysm Repair (EVAR)
Over the past 20 years the availability of aortic stent-grafts has allowed a major step change in the management of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA). Prior to this open surgical resection, first described by Charles Dubost in 1950, was the mainstay of AAA management(1). For elective cases open surgical repair has now largely been superseded by the deployment of a covered stent (stent-graft) thr...
متن کاملRole of multidetector computed tomography in evaluating complications following endovascular repair of aortic aneurysm
OBJECTIVE To study the role of multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) in evaluating various complications following endovascular stenting of aortic aneurysms. MATERIALS AND METHODS Over a period of 2 years (June 2005 to June 2007), 50 patients with aortic aneurysm on computed tomography (CT) angiogram were prospectively studied. Images were acquired on a 64 slice multidetector row CT scanne...
متن کاملThree-dimensional reconstruction of New Zealand rabbit antebrachium by multidetector computed tomography
The aim of this study was to reveal biometric peculiarities of New Zealand white rabbit antebrachium (radius and ulna) by means of three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction of multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) images. Under general anesthesia, the antebrachiums of a total of sixteen rabbits of both sexes were scanned with a general diagnostic MDCT. Biometric measurements of the reconstructed...
