Serial Myocardial Imaging after a Single Dose of Thallium-201
Although thallium-201 exercise scintigraphy has been established for the detection of myocardial ischemia and viability, little is known regarding the myocardial thallium-201 kinetics during angioplasty. Herein, we report a 77-year old man with angina pectoris, in whom serial myocardial imaging after a single dose of thallium-201 was helpful in identifying not only the culprit lesion and myocar...
متن کاملThe value of myocardial perfusion imaging with Tc-99m MIBI for the prediction of perfusion improvement after percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty
Introduction: Percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) is an effective method for revascularizing of stenotic coronary vessels. Lack of response to this treatment, either in symptomatic or asymptomatic patients, is usually due to incomplete revascularization, restenosis, and/or irreversibility of myocardial perfusion. Introduction of a noninvasive metho...
متن کاملCoronary Artery Disease Variability of Myocardial Perfusion Defects Assessed by Thallium-201 Scintigraphy in Patients With Coronary Artery Disease Not Amenable to Angioplasty or Bypass Surgery
OBJECTIVES We sought to assess the variability of results obtained with thallium scintigraphy as a method for tracking the extent of myocardial ischemia in medically refractory patients with angina who are not suitable for coronary artery bypass graft surgery or percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty. BACKGROUND New therapies are being evaluated for patients with “no option” angina in w...
