Isolated Left Coronary Ostial Stenosis

Isolated Left Main Coronary Artery Spasm Detected by Multidetector Computed Tomography

Although atherosclerotic obstruction is the main cause of left main coronary artery (LMCA) disease, it can also be associated with vasospasm. We report a case of a 61-year-old male who presented with ostial stenosis of the LMCA, detected by 64-slice multi-detector computed tomographic coronary angiography (MDCT-CA). Careful review of MDCT and intravascular ultrasound findings showed suspicion o...

Virtual coronary angioscopy using multislice computed tomography.

BACKGROUND With faster image acquisition times and thinner slice widths, multislice detector computed tomography (MSCT) allows visualisation of human coronary arteries with diagnostic image quality. In addition to conventional axial slices, virtual coronary angioscopies (VCA) can be reconstructed using MSCT datasets. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the feasibility of reconstructing VCA and to determine...

Multislice Computed Tomography Coronary Angiography: Prime Time?

Rev Esp Cardiol. 2005;58(11):1253-7 1253 Multi-Slice Computed Tomography (MSCT) coronary angiography is emerging as a non-invasive clinically reliable diagnostic tool to detect significant (luminal diameter > 50%) coronary stenosis. The diagnostic accuracy of MSCT is high, but at this point in time, MSCT coronary angiography should be regarded mainly as a research tool and in selected patients ...
