Post-mortem computed tomography in adults
There has been increasing interest in recent years in a new application of cross-sectional imaging, that of investigation of cause of death. A perceived public distaste for invasive autopsy, fuelled in part by the organ retention scandals of the late 1990s, coupled with disquiet about the fitness-for-practice of the coronial system, has led to a search for a less invasive alternative. A post-mo...
متن کاملRole of preprocedural computed tomography in transcatheter aortic valve implantation.
UNLABELLED Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is currently considered an acceptable alternative for the treatment of patients with severe aortic stenosis and a high perioperative risk or a contraindication for open surgery. The benefit of TAVI significantly outweighs the risk of the procedure in patients requiring treatment that are not suitable for open surgery, and leads to a lowe...
متن کاملMultidetector computed tomography in transcatheter aortic valve implantation.
Aortic stenosis is a common disorder. Aortic valve replacement is indicated in symptomatic patients with severe aortic stenosis, as the prognosis of untreated patients is poor. Nevertheless, many patients pose a prohibitively high surgical risk and are not candidates for surgical valve replacement. Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is a novel method to treat selected high-risk pati...
متن کاملPost-mortem computed tomography (PMCT) and PMCT-angiography after transvascular cardiac interventions.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE During the last years, Post Mortem Computed Tomography (PMCT) has become an integral part of the autopsy. PMCT-angiography may augment PMCT. Both exams have proven their value in visualizing complications after heart surgery. Therefore, they should also show complications after transvascular interventions. This assumption initiated our project: to evaluate the possibiliti...
متن کاملPost-mortem computed tomography angiography using left ventricle cardiac puncture: A whole-body, angiographic approach
Post-mortem computed tomography (PMCT) and PMCT angiography (PMCTA) are rapidly becoming effective and practical methods in forensic medicine. In this article, the authors introduce a whole-body PMCTA approach involving left ventricle cardiac puncture. This procedure was performed in 9 males and 3 females. PMCT was performed first. Then a biopsy core needle was used for a percutaneous puncture ...
