Noninvasive Demonstration of Dual Coronary Artery Fistulas to Main Pulmonary Artery with 64-Slice Multidetector-Computed Tomography: A Case Report
نویسندگان
چکیده
Coronary artery fistulas, including coronary pulmonary fistulas, are usually discovered accidently among the adult population when undergoing invasive coronary angiographies. We report here a 58-year-old woman with dual fistulas originating from the left anterior descending coronary artery and right coronary sinus to the main pulmonary artery, demonstrating noninvasively with multidetector-computed tomography (MDCT) and transthoracic echocardiography (TTE).

A jumping left atrial thrombus connected to a pulmonary vein thrombus using transthoracic echocardiography and 64-slice multi-detector computed tomography
Few studies have reported the differences between transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) and 64-slice multidetector CT (64-MDCT) in identifying left atrium (LA) thrombi. I report the case of a 70 year old man with coronary artery disease and angina who was diagnosed with a thrombus in the left lower pulmonary vein extending to the LA using a non-invasive 64-MDCT scan and TTE. TTE was unable to cl...

A 35-year-old asymptomatic man was referred for evaluation of a systolic murmur. Transthoracic echocardiography with color-flow Doppler revealed a large network of dilated vessels anterior to the right ventricle. Contrastenhanced, 64-slice multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) (LightSpeed VCT; General Electric Medical Systems; Milwaukee) was recommended for evaluation. The MDCT showed a gro...
متن کاملDiagnosis of variants of single right coronary trunk using 64 multidetector computed tomography.
Single coronary anomalies are one of the rarest variants of coronary anatomy. Widespread use of coronary CT angiography has made it possible to diagnose these variants with increasing incidence. We report two cases of single right coronary trunk with different anatomic course of the left coronary artery; one anterior to the main pulmonary artery and the second between the main pulmonary artery ...
متن کاملCardiac multidetector computed tomography: where do we stand?
Multidetector-row CT (MDCT) scanners for the noninvasive detection of coronary artery disease (CAD) were introduced in 1999, with the 4-slice scanners that allowed small and rapidly moving structures like the coronary arteries to be visualized with sufficient image quality. Soon, the technology advanced further, with the introduction of 16-, 40-, and 64-slice scanners (current systems) and prot...
