Cardiac Metastasis of Breast Cancer: A Case Report
Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers in women. As we know, cardiac metastases occur rarely. In this study, a 40-year-old woman referred to the hospital due to severe pain in the right leg. She was diagnosed with deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and received treatment, but, after one month and a half she returned with severe pain, exacerbated shortness of breath, cramping pain, and chest pa...
متن کاملNon-invasive visualization of the cardiac venous system in coronary artery disease patients using 64-slice computed tomography.
OBJECTIVES This study was designed to evaluate the value of 64-slice computed tomography (CT) to visualize the cardiac veins and evaluate the relation between variations in venous anatomy and history of infarction. BACKGROUND Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is an attractive treatment for selected heart failure patients. Knowledge of venous anatomy may help in identifying candidates fo...
متن کاملUsefulness of hyperemic venous return angiography for studying coronary venous anatomy prior to cardiac resynchronization device implantation.
INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES Implantation of electrodes via the coronary sinus (CS) can be very challenging because access to the target vessel is restricted by anatomical obstacles. Consequently, prior knowledge of coronary venous anatomy is crucial. The objective of this study was to evaluate the usefulness of hyperemic venous return angiography relative to that of occlusive retrograde venogra...
متن کاملEvaluation of Coronary Venous Anatomy by Multislice Computed Tomography
Background: The coronary venous system is increasingly targeted for pacing in patients with severe heart failure. The recent advancement of Multi-Detector Computed Tomography (MDCT) allows accurate analysis of the coronary arteries, but little data exist on its role in assessing cardiac venous anatomy. The aim of the present study was to investigate the feasibility of using MDCT in evaluating t...
متن کامل[Multidetector computed tomography of the coronary veins and resynchronization therapy].
The effectiveness of intraventricular synchrony correction by cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) has been correlated with electrocatheter (EKT) positioning in the coronary veins. Multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) with contrast administration allows precise, noninvasive visualization of the coronary arteries, as well as the anatomy and distribution of the coronary veins. With this te...
