A jumping left atrial thrombus connected to a pulmonary vein thrombus using transthoracic echocardiography and 64-slice multi-detector computed tomography
Few studies have reported the differences between transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) and 64-slice multidetector CT (64-MDCT) in identifying left atrium (LA) thrombi. I report the case of a 70 year old man with coronary artery disease and angina who was diagnosed with a thrombus in the left lower pulmonary vein extending to the LA using a non-invasive 64-MDCT scan and TTE. TTE was unable to cl...
متن کاملCoronary-pulmonary artery fistula: value of 64-MDCT imaging.
A 57-year old previously healthy male presented following an episode of sudden-onset central chest tightness and syncope whilst driving. There was no prior history of such episodes. Baseline observations, physical examination, electrocardiograph and chest radiograph were all normal. Cardiac biomarkers were negative and transthoracic echocardiography revealed a structurally and functionally norm...
متن کاملHuge Coronary artery aneurysm Demonstrated by 64-slice MDCT Coronary angiography: a case report
Coronary artery aneurysm is an uncommon disease. We present a case of an unusual huge saccular coronary aneurysm of the left anterior descending coronary artery detected by 64-slice multi-detector computed tomography (MDCT) coronary angiography, which initially presented as a mediastinal mass on chest X-ray. The true size of the aneurysm would have been underestimated by coronary angiography be...
متن کاملA long and narrow pulmonary vein thrombus attached to the wall of a pulmonary vein
Pulmonary vein thrombosis (PVT) is often not diagnosed because PVT has subtle symptoms and PVT is believed to be rare. The mechanism for the formation of PVT is unclear. In this case, I describe a small thrombus in a small branch of a pulmonary vein draining into a larger vein, the right lower pulmonary vein (RLPV). The patient was a 70-year-old male with angina pectoris, and he presented with ...
متن کاملA complex pulmonary vein varix -- diagnosis with ECG gated MDCT, MRI and invasive pulmonary angiography.
A case of an asymptomatic 32-year-old male with a complex congenital pulmonary vein varix is reported herein. Chest X-ray incidentally revealed a tubular opacity passing from the periphery of the left lingula to the mediastinum. ECG gated multidetector computed tomography showed the opacity to be a vessel emptying into the left atrium via the left superior pulmonary vein. In addition, a second ...
