[Acute stent thrombosis and reverse transient left ventricular dilatation after performing a single-photon emission computed tomography myocardial perfusion].
A 63-year-old male patient with a history of stent implantation in the left anterior descending three months before. Due to the presentation of vegetative symptoms, he was referred for gated-SPECT myocardial perfusion. During acquisition of the resting images he presented chest pain and ST segment elevation, so that urgent cardiac catheterization was performed, showing stent thrombosis. Rest pe...
متن کاملMyocardial Single-Photon Emission Computed Tomography and Autonomic Nervous System Activity in Patients With Acute Myocardial Infarction
The purpose of this study was to elucidate the relationship between the mismatch of thallium-201(Tl) and iodine-123-beta-methyl-iodophenyl-pentadecanoic acid (BMIPP) myocardial single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) and autonomic nervous system activity in myocardial infarction (MI) patients. The subjects were 40 patients (34 males, 6 females) who underwent examinations by I-BMIPP a...
متن کاملPrediction of Changes in Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction after Off-Pump Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting Surgery by Myocardial Perfusion Single-Photon Emission Computed Tomography
Introduction: Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) is considered to be the single most important prognostic factor in patients with previous myocardial infarction. LVEF is not improved in all patients after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). This study aimed to assess the possibility of prediction of LVEF changes after CABG using myocardial perfusion gated signle photon emission compu...
متن کاملReverse redistribution of Tc-99m-tetrofosmin in patients with acute myocardial infarction.
We examined reverse redistribution (RR) of Tc-99m-tetrofosmin after a single injection in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Tc-99m-tetrofosmin myocardial SPECT was performed in 28 patients with AMI 10-14 days after the onset. Myocardial images were obtained 30 min and 180 min after the injection of 740 MBq of Tc-99m-tetrofosmin. The left ventricular wall was divided into 9 segmen...
متن کاملLong-term prognostic value of exercise technetium-99m tetrofosmin myocardial perfusion single-photon emission computed tomography
BACKGROUND Exercise (99m)Tc-tetrofosmin single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) is a useful tool for short- and medium-term risk stratifications. Currently, the long-term prognostic application of this technique has not been evaluated. METHODS AND RESULTS Exercise (99m)Tc-tetrofosmin was performed in 655 consecutive patients. Ten patients who underwent revascularization <60 days af...
