Systematic review of computed tomographic angiography for assessment of carotid artery disease.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE To review the literature on the diagnostic accuracy of computed tomographic angiography (CTA) compared with arteriography/intra-arterial digital subtraction angiography as reference standard for assessment of symptomatic carotid artery disease. METHODS The PubMed, MEDLINE, PREMEDLINE, EMBASE, and CINAHL databases were searched to retrieve studies published between 1990 ...
متن کاملC2 Segmental-Type Vertebral Artery Diagnosed Using Computed Tomographic Angiography
OBJECTIVE Sometimes a vertebral artery (VA) enters the spinal canal via the C1-2 intervertebral space, a variation regarded as a C2 segmental-type VA. This paper describes the anatomy of the C2 segmental-type VA and reviews its clinical importance. METHODS Between March 2014 and November 2015, 3386 patients underwent computed tomographic angiography. I identified C2 segmental-type VAs, associ...
متن کاملPrognostic Value of Coronary Computed Tomographic Angiography in Diabetic Patients Without Known Coronary Artery Disease
OBJECTIVE Diabetic patients have a high prevalence of coronary artery disease (CAD), but timely diagnosis of CAD remains challenging. We assessed the ability of coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) to detect CAD in diabetic patients and to predict subsequent cardiac events. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS We analyzed 140 diabetic patients without known CAD undergoing CCTA; 1,782 patien...
متن کاملComputerized tomographic angiography for preoperative assessment of the superficial temporal artery for external carotid artery to internal carotid artery bypass: Case illustration
INTRODUCTION While catheter angiography has traditionally been used to assess the caliber and course of the superficial temporal artery prior to its use as a conduit for external carotid artery to internal carotid artery (EC-IC) bypass, computed tomographic angiography (CTA) has become increasingly used in the diagnostic assessment of cerebral vasculature. We demonstrate the application of CTA ...
متن کاملUsefulness of volume-rendered three-dimensional computed tomographic angiography for surgical planning in treating unruptured paraclinoid internal carotid artery aneurysms.
Paraclinoid internal carotid artery aneurysms are difficult to treat and difficult to visualize by using DSA, MRA, or surface-rendered 3D-CTA. Because those aneurysms are surrounded by bone, the dural ring (proximal and distal), the optic nerve, the oculomotor nerve, and the cavernous sinus. This report represents the first attempt to assess the verification of volume-rendered 3D-CTA for surgic...
