Multimodality imaging assessment of anatomic and functional pulmonary vein stenosis.
A 68-year-old man with a history of permanent atrial fibrillation and symptoms of fatigue and palpitations underwent pulmonary vein ablation under intracardiac echocardiography and NAVX system 3D mapping guidance. He noticed improvement in his symptoms after the procedure and remained in sinus rhythm on follow-up arrhythmia monitoring. However, symptoms of shortness of breath and a nonproductiv...
متن کاملMultimodality Imaging Strategies for the Assessment of Aortic Stenosis
Abstract—Aortic stenosis is the most frequent valvular heart disease. In aortic stenosis, therapeutic decision essentially depends on symptomatic status, stenosis severity, and status of left ventricular systolic function. Surgical aortic valve replacement or transcatheter aortic valve implantation is the sole effective therapy in symptomatic patients with severe aortic stenosis, whereas the ma...
متن کاملMultimodality management of carotid artery stenosis: reviewing the class-I evidence.
Stroke is the third leading cause of mortality in the United States; approximately every three minutes a person will die from a stroke. Extracranial internal carotid artery stenosis (EICAS) accounts for approximately 25% of ischemic strokes, with an incidence as high as 10% in people aged > 80 years. Clinically, EICAS can manifest as a transient ischemic attack, although the vast majority of EI...
متن کاملMultimodality Imaging
Noninvasive “multimodal” in vivo imaging is not just becoming standard practice in the clinic, but is rapidly changing the evolving field of experimental imaging of genetic expression (“molecular imaging”). The development of multimodality methodology based on nuclear medicine (NM), positron emission tomography (PET) imaging, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and optical imaging is the single b...
متن کاملInverse fly-through technique in ultrasound imaging of carotid stenosis.
A 58-year-old man presented for re-evaluation of an asymptomatic right-sided carotid stenosis. Besides conventional ultrasound techniques, we could confirm a moderate right internal carotid artery stenosis by the innovative inverse fly-through technique (figure). Regular checkups were initiated. There is growing evidence that 3D ultrasound may provide new possibilities for evaluating carotid di...
