Imaging of coronary artery anomalies: the role of multidetector computed tomography.
BACKGROUND Coronary artery anomalies are evaluated by using catheter-based angiography. Multidetector row-computed tomography (MDCT) is a new noninvasive imaging technique that has excellent spatial resolution for detecting the origin and course of a coronary anomalous vessel. OBJECTIVE To determine the sensitivity of multidetector computed tomography in patients who had coronary artery anoma...
متن کاملMultidetector row computed tomography: imaging congenital coronary artery anomalies in adults.
The quality of the imaging of the main coronary arteries and side branches provided by multidetector row computed tomography (MDCT) may have importance when assessing congenital coronary artery anomalies. This review discusses the rationale for using MDCT for this indication and examines the advantages and disadvantages of the technique. Examples of MDCT imaging of congenital coronary artery an...
متن کاملApplying preoperative multidetector computed tomography to bilateral coronary artery fistulas.
Coronary artery fistula arising from both the right coronary artery and the circumflex coronary artery is rare. A 28-year-old woman with non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus and end-stage renal disease who was on regular hemodialysis complained of recent progressive exertional dyspnea. Congestive heart failure was diagnosed during work-up for simultaneous kidney and pancreas transplantation....
متن کاملExtremely rare single right coronary artery: multidetector computed tomography findings.
Coronary anomalies are rare, with a reported prevalence of 1.3% among patients who undergo coronary angiography. The great majority of coronary artery anomalies are incidental findings and are not clinically significant, but in some cases, may be responsible for angina, syncope, arrhythmias or even sudden death. In the following case, we describe coronary CT angiography findings of one of the r...
متن کاملBilateral complex coronary artery pulmonary artery fistulas demonstrated by multidetector computed tomography.
An 80-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital because of chest discomfort. Emergent coronary angiography revealed bilateral coronary artery fistulas (CAFs) and severe stenosis of the left anterior descending artery (LAD) followed by successful coronary intervention. Threedimensional volume rendered computed tomography angiography (CTA) (Aquilion 16 TSX-101A, Toshiba, Otawara, Japan) images ...
