Computed Tomography Imaging Artifact Simulating Type A Aortic Dissection.
Contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) is an effective tool for assessment of thoracic aortic disease in the modern era. Here, we describe a case of Type A aortic dissection incidentally detected by CT in a 63-year old man. Upon more precise imaging with electrocardiography (ECG)-gated CT, the dissection vanished, revealing it to be an aortic motion artifact. This report highlights the impo...
متن کاملComputed Tomography of Aortic Wall Calcifications in Aortic Dissection Patients
OBJECTIVES To investigate the frequency of aortic calcifications at the outer edge of the false lumen and the frequency of fully circular aortic calcifications in a consecutive series of patients with aortic dissection who underwent contrast-enhanced CT. METHODS The study population compromised of 69 consecutive subjects aged 60 years and older with a contrast-enhanced CT scan demonstrating a...
متن کاملComputed Tomography Imaging Features in Acute Uncomplicated Stanford Type-B Aortic Dissection Predict Late Adverse Events.
BACKGROUND Medical treatment of initially uncomplicated acute Stanford type-B aortic dissection is associated with a high rate of late adverse events. Identification of individuals who potentially benefit from preventive endografting is highly desirable. METHODS AND RESULTS The association of computed tomography imaging features with late adverse events was retrospectively assessed in 83 pati...
متن کاملComputed tomography: the investigation of choice for aortic dissection?
Computed tomography has become established as complementary to aortography in the investigation of patients with suspected aortic dissection. Two cases of dissecting aneurysm are reported in which extensive aortography failed to show evidence of dissection. In both cases dissection was demonstrated by computed tomography. The diagnosis was confirmed in one case at operation and in the other cas...
متن کاملResolution of iatrogenic aortic dissection illustrated by computed tomography.
An 83-year-old man with known history of known coronary artery disease (prior coronary artery bypass surgery and percutaneous coronary intervention), hypertension, and hypercholesterolemia presented with ongoing exertional angina and dyspnea despite medical therapy. A dipyridamole rubidium-82 stress test showed moderate-sized ischemia in the inferior and inferolateral territory. An echocardiogr...
