Gerbode ventricular septal defect diagnosed using cardiac CTA imaging
This report describes the ability of computed tomography angiography (CTA) imaging of the heart to visualize an acquired shunt between the left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) and the right atrium (RA) (Gerbode defect). Previously, transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) has been the mainstay of diagnosis. To the best of our knowledge, the use of cardiac CTA imaging to visualize and diagnose th...
متن کاملCardiac Sarcoma: Unusual Cause of Intracardiac Contrast Filling Defect
A 28-year-old female was transferred to the emergency department from her physician's office for further evaluation of tachycardia. She was being seen for a recent illness which included nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and fevers. The patient endorsed fatigue, dyspnea on exertion, and extremity edema. She had no chest pain or cough. Exam revealed a pale, fatigued, mildly ill-appearing female with bi...
متن کاملMetastatic cardiac tumor demonstrated by 201thallium scan.
A patient with bronchogenic carcinoma had an electrocardiogram that was initially thought to be consistent with myocardial infarction and possible left ventricular aneurysm. A heart scan with radioactive 201thallium showed an area of sharply diminished uptake ("cold spot"); however, subsequent thoracotomy showed that this was caused by local pericardial and myocardial infiltration by tumor. Thi...
متن کاملUnusual Pulmonary Arterial Filling Defect caused by Systemic to Pulmonary Shunt in the Setting of Chronic Lung Disease Demonstrated by Dynamic 4D CTA.
Even though pulmonary embolism is by far the most common cause of filling defect in the pulmonary arterial system, other less common etiologies should be considered especially in the setting of atypical clinical scenario or unusual imaging findings. Unusual pattern of filling defect in the pulmonary artery in the setting of chronic inflammatory/fibrotic parenchymal lung disease should raise the...
متن کاملInvasive aspergillosis: extensive cardiac involvement demonstrated by cardiac magnetic resonance.
A 60-year–old woman with a diagnosis of leukemia, who had undergone allogeneic stem cell transplantation, was transferred from her local hospital for further investigation of a cardiac mass. A recent graft-versus-host reaction had culminated in a fungal infection of the lungs, subsequently confirmed on biopsy. This was monitored with serial computed tomography (CT) scans of the chest, one of wh...
