Three-Dimensional Rotational Angiography-Guided Stent Placement for Treatment of Acquired Supravalvar Aortic Stenosis

Three-Dimensional Rotational Angiography-Guided Stent Placement for Treatment of Acquired Supravalvar Aortic Stenosis.

Supravalvar aortic stenosis.

one manifestation of the idiopathic hypercalcaemia of infancy syndrome, and the possible aetiologies are discussed. Another presentation of supravalvar aortic stenosis is in the so-called familialform, but there may exist considerable confusion between these two forms, as less than 50 per cent of those without physical stigmata have a positive family history, and the severeform of the idiopathi...

SUPRAVALVAR AORTIC STENOSIS IN CHILDREN REPORT OF THIRTEEN CASES

During 15 years from 1975 to 1990, thirteen cases of supravalvar aortic stenosis were admitted at the pediatrics department of Shahid Rajai Heart Hospital, Tehran. All patients were subjected to cardiac catheterization and a angiocardiography. Patients ranged in age from 3.5 years to 14 years with a mean of 8.7 years. Seventy seven percent of childen were male. Eight cases (61.5%) had Wil...

Three-dimensional rotational angiography in children with an aortic coarctation

BACKGROUND Children with aortic coarctations (CoA) are increasingly percutaneously treated. Good visualisation of the CoA is mandatory and can be obtained with three-dimensional rotational angiography (3DRA). This study aims to compare the diagnostic and therapeutic additional value of 3DRA with conventional biplane angiography (CA) in children with a CoA. METHODS Patients undergoing percutan...

Cutting balloon angioplasty for carotid artery in-stent stenosis supported by three-dimensional rotational angiography with automated vessel analysis software.

In-stent stenosis is a possible long-term complication of carotid artery stenting. A simple and safe technique of cutting balloon angioplasty is described for carotid in-stent stenosis. The stented vessel is imaged by three-dimensional (3D) rotational angiography, the acquired projection images are transferred to a workstation, and the stenotic lesion and implanted stent are reconstructed. The ...
