Multimodality imaging of anomalous pulmonary veins

Multimodality imaging of anomalous pulmonary veins

Partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection (PAPVC) is an extremely rare congenital condition where one or more of the pulmonary veins are connected to the venous circulation. Although initially suspected with unexplained right ventricular enlargement on transthoracic echocardiography (TTE), cardiac MRI is able to delineate the anatomical variant. We present a case of a 65-year-old male diagn...

A unique pulmonary vascular pattern: bilateral anomalous single pulmonary veins.

Thorax Published Online First: [please include Day Month Year] doi:10.1136/ thoraxjnl-2013-203732 A 56-year-old woman underwent chest x-ray for evaluation of a pelvic tumour. The x-ray showed a unique pattern of bilateral, anomalous, curvilinear vessels (figure 1A). CTwith volume-rendered reconstruction (figure 1B), coronal (figure 1C) and ax...

multimodality imaging in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy associated with anomalous hypertrophied papillary muscles: a case report

conclusions according to our multimodality imaging approach, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy was the most probable diagnosis. case presentation we describe a 73-year-old woman referred to us for consultation because of a giant negative t wave on her electrocardiography. echocardiography revealed diffuse severe hypertrophy associated with hypertrophied anterolateral papillary muscles with a bifid he...

Multimodality imaging assessment of anatomic and functional pulmonary vein stenosis.

A 68-year-old man with a history of permanent atrial fibrillation and symptoms of fatigue and palpitations underwent pulmonary vein ablation under intracardiac echocardiography and NAVX system 3D mapping guidance. He noticed improvement in his symptoms after the procedure and remained in sinus rhythm on follow-up arrhythmia monitoring. However, symptoms of shortness of breath and a nonproductiv...
