Computed tomography angiography for visualisation of distal coronary arteries and selection for surgical revascularisation in a patient with acute myocardial infarction.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Patients with symptomatic multivessel coronary artery disease rejected for coronary revascularisation have adverse prognosis. We describe a 61 year-old male with non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction who was considered unsuitable for coronary revascularisation based on the conventional angiography findings. Unlike conventional angiography, computed tomography angiography visualised distal coronary segments and the patient underwent successful coronary artery bypass grafting.

Introduction: Reciprocal changes are ST depression ≥1 mm in electrocardiogram of the patients with acute myocardial infarction in the reciprocal leads. This question that these changes are merely secondary to ST elevation in infarction area or that they are truly subendocardial ischemia secondary to involvement of coronary artery that perfuse that area is not clearly defined. Methods and Materi...
متن کاملMyocardial damage of the entire ventricular region in a patient with acute myocardial infarction
Technetium-99m-pyrophosphate (99mTc-PYP) has been used, in combination with thallium-201, to estimate the site and extent of myocardial infarcts. We report a case of acute myocardial infarction with severe coronary disease in which the distribution of 99mTc-PYP was extensive. A 78-year-old man presented with dyspnea, and a diagnosis of non-ST-segment elevation acute myocar...

This study evaluated the relationship between the location of the most severe coronary artery stenosis and the subsequent acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Methods: Of 1590 patients who were admitted with a diagnosis of AMI, we identified 44 patients who had undergone previous myocardial perfusion SPECT. Thirty-one of these patients also had previous coronary angiography. The relationshi...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the accuracy of contrast enhanced electron beam computed tomography (EBCT) after acute myocardial infarction in determining patency of the infarct related artery and detecting high grade stenoses and occlusions in the coronary vessels. DESIGN Case study using blinded comparison with invasive coronary angiography. PATIENTS 36 patients (mean age 53 years) 4-70 days after...

We report a case of a 74-year-old male, who presented with an acute ST elevation posterior wall myocardial infarction (MI) 21 years following revascularization with three saphenous vein grafts (SVGs) to the left and right coronary arteries. In coronary angiography (CAG), the dilated SVG to the first marginal branch of the circumflex artery appeared only contrast enhanced in the proximal portion...
