Investigators from leading centers now promote CT angiography as a major advance in diagnostics, making it possible for many patients to avoid invasive coronary angiography.2 They provide 3 lines of evidence to make their case. First, in a number of cross-sectional patient-oriented studies, the diagnostic accuracy seems to be high, with claims of sensitivity and negative predictive value approa...

The CT angio­graphy confirmed sub-occlusion of the abdominal aortia. lesion was treated from femoral and radial artery access two balloon-expandable Bentley BeGraft successfully, without complication. wound has been healed after procedure remained asymptomatic.

This review was undertaken with an eye of providing an evidence-based guide for internists in the utilization of the various techniques in the diagnosis of pulmonary emboli. Pulmonary angiography represents a group of tests that are used alone or in combination to evaluate for the presence of pulmonary emboli (PE)† and encompasses computed tomography (CT) pulmonary angiography (which is noninva...

OBJECTIVE To compare duplex ultrasound and computed tomography (CT) angiography in terms of their performance in detecting endoleaks, as well as in determining the diameter of the aneurysm sac, in the postoperative follow-up of endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm repair. MATERIALS AND METHODS This was a prospective study involving 30 patients who had undergone endovascular repair of infrar...

OBJECTIVE Fourteen brain death cases diagnosed in Mart 2012-May 2013 period in Tokat State Hospital were studied retrospectively. CT angiography experience about those cases was shared, and use of CT angiography in confirmation of brain death was discussed. MATERIAL AND METHODS All 14 cases were patients on mechanical ventilator, who did not respond to medical and surgical treatments at inten...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Precise anatomic understanding of the vascular anatomy of SDAVFs is required before treatment. This study demonstrates the utility of C-arm conebeam CT to locate precisely the fistulous point in SDAVFs and the courses of their feeding arteries and draining veins. MATERIALS AND METHODS This retrospective study reports 14 consecutive patients with SDAVFs who underwent DSA...

BACKGROUND Prediction of clinical outcome in the acute stage of ischaemic stroke can be difficult when based on patient characteristics, clinical findings and on non-contrast CT. CT perfusion and CT angiography may provide additional prognostic information and guide treatment in the early stage. We present the study protocol of the Dutch acute Stroke Trial (DUST). The DUST aims to assess the pr...
