Salvage Cisterna Chyli and Thoracic Duct Glue Embolization in 2 Dogs with Recurrent Idiopathic Chylothorax
A 4-year-old male castrated English Mastiff weighing 72 kg (158 lb) was evaluated for acute dyspnea after a 1-week history of restlessness, episodes of increased respiratory effort, and inappetance. The dog was otherwise healthy and received seasonal heartworm preventative medication and routine vaccinations. On initial examination, the dog was bright, alert, responsive, and had a body conditio...
متن کاملMultidetector CT in the Evaluation of Thoracic Aortic Disease
C omputed tomography angiography (CTA) of the thoracic aorta has benefited greatly from the advent of multidetector computerized tomography (MDCT). Three-dimensional reconstruction of large datasets allows easy evaluation of pathological changes of the aorta. This improvement coincides with changes in treating thoracic aortic aneurysms (TAAs) because accurate preoperative assessment is critical...
متن کاملBilateral retropharyngeal parathyroid hyperplasia detected with 4D multidetector row CT.
We present a case of bilateral retropharyngeal parathyroid hyperplasia detected with 4D-CT in a patient with persistent primary hyperparathyroidism and failed neck exploration. We discuss the embryologic basis of ectopic retropharyngeal parathyroid adenomas and hyperplasia and the utility of 4D-CT in their localization for surgical planning.
متن کاملMultidetector CT of Thoracic Aortic Aneurysms1
Thoracic aortic aneurysms (TAAs) can be broadly divided into true aneurysms and false aneurysms (pseudoaneurysms). True aneurysms contain all three layers of the aortic wall (intima, media, and adventitia), whereas false aneurysms have fewer than three layers and are contained by the adventitia or periadventitial tissues. Multidetector computed tomographic (CT) angiography allows the comprehens...
متن کاملCarotid plaque enhancement and symptom correlations: an evaluation by using multidetector row CT angiography.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The identification of plaque characteristics that determine its vulnerability is extremely important. The purpose of this work was to evaluate CPE after administration of contrast material and to assess whether there is a statistical association between CPE and cerebrovascular symptoms. MATERIALS AND METHODS Ninety-seven consecutive patients (69 men, 28 women; mean age,...
