Imaging strategies of coarctation repairs
Background Coarctation is a common cardiovascular lesion accounting for 5 7% of all congenital heart disease. Without appropriate treatment complications are common and up to 90% of patients with uncorrected coarctation die by the age of 60. After repair close follow-up of patients is recommended. Recognised complications may include residual or recurrent coarctation and aneurysm formation. Fol...
متن کاملMR imaging of aortic coarctation
Purpose. The purpose of this paper is to analyse the contribution of MRI as diagnostic procedure in the preoperative diagnosis of aortic coarctation (CoA), in patients with clinical and echocardiographic suspicion for this disease. Patients and methods. During the period of three years, eight patients were examined, 5 (62.5%) male and 3 (37.5%) female patients with clinical echocardiographic su...
متن کاملManagement strategies in aortic coarctation.
contribute. Whether you refer to ‘leadership structures’, ‘distributive leadership’ or a ‘systems paradigm’, it does not matter, the message is clear. As Mr Jarvis argues and as we repeatedly emphasize in our review one surgeon cannot perform all the functions of leadership required in modern cardiac surgery and all stakeholders must be empowered to demonstrate leadership, innovate and collabor...
متن کاملThree Different Imaging Modalities of a Patient with the Aortic Coarctation
The patient was a 19 year-old woman with the diagnosis of resistant hypertension, although she was under treatment of three classes of anti-hypertensive drugs (beta blocker, angiotensin receptor blocker, diuretic) for more than one year. In physical examination there was only a significant difference between the systolic blood pressure of upper and lower extremities (200 vs. 120 mmHg), without ...
متن کاملMagnetic resonance imaging predictors of coarctation severity.
BACKGROUND MRI is increasingly used for anatomic assessment of aortic coarctation (CoA), but its ability to predict the transcatheter pressure gradient, considered the reference standard for hemodynamic severity, has not been studied in detail. This study evaluated the ability of MRI to distinguish between mild versus moderate and severe CoA as determined by cardiac catheterization. METHODS A...
