Coronary artery fistula; non-invasive diagnosis by cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Coronary arteriovenous fistulas are among rare anomalies of coronary arteries. Role of X-ray angiography is well established in identification and characterization of these anomalies, however there accurate course and termination is often not defined. We demonstrate role of routine cardiovascular MRI in non-invasively diagnosing and characterizing the course and termination of these anomalous coronary branches.

متن کاملCoronary artery disease: comprehensive evaluation by cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging.
Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging has emerged as an important non-invasive cardiac imaging modality. A versatile technique, it has the potential for comprehensive evaluation of coronary artery disease (CAD): cardiac morphology and function, myocardial perfusion, myocardial viability, coronary artery visualisation and atherosclerotic plaque characterisation. Some of these techniques--vent...
متن کاملDesign and rationale of the MR-INFORM study: stress perfusion cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging to guide the management of patients with stable coronary artery disease
BACKGROUND In patients with stable coronary artery disease (CAD), decisions regarding revascularisation are primarily driven by the severity and extent of coronary luminal stenoses as determined by invasive coronary angiography. More recently, revascularisation decisions based on invasive fractional flow reserve (FFR) have shown improved event free survival. Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (C...

متن کاملThe role of cardiac magnetic resonance imaging in patients with ischemic heart disease.
Over the last decade, cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging has emerged as a powerful non-invasive imaging modality with pivotal role in the evaluation and management of patients with coronary artery disease. In particular, it quantifies ventricular function, detects myocardial ischemia and scar, visualizes myocardial edema and hemorrhage. CMR provides high resolution images that are ...
