چکیده
A12-month-old child was evaluated for pulmonary atresia with ventricular septal defect. Assessment of the whole arterial pulmonary arborization was first done by angiography. This examination revealed that the left lung received vascularization by the native pulmonary artery via a central shunt performed during the neonatal period and by 2 aortopulmonary collateral arteries. The positions of these 2 arteries and their spatial relationship with the left bronchus were clearly visualized before unifocalization by 3-dimensional CT.

متن کاملIntegrated Percutaneous Atrial Septal Defect Occlusion and Pulmonary Balloon Valvuloplasty
Introduction: Atrial Septal Defect (ASD) is one of the most common congenital heart diseases during childhood. Today, ASD closure is done by occlutech device via cardiac catheterization. ASD repair with transcatheter technique has shown high closure rate. However, coexistence of severe pulmonary stenosis and large defect in atrial septum is rare. When these two problems coexist, the result is i...
متن کاملSurgical management of pulmonary atresia with ventricular septal defect and major aortopulmonary collaterals: a protocol-based approach.
Historically, outcomes of pulmonary atresia with ventricular septal defect and major aortopulmonary collaterals have been quite poor. Over the past 15 years, our group has strived to apply a consistent surgical strategy for this lesion based on two guiding principles: early unifocalization of all important collaterals; and the early establishment of a low-pressure pulmonary arterial bed, prefer...
متن کاملIncidental Findings in Patients Evaluated for Pulmonary Embolism Using Computed Tomography Angiography
Introduction: Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a common lethal disease that its clinical symptoms may be seen in many other diseases. Computed tomography pulmonary angiography (CTPA) is a valuable diagnostic modality for detection of PE. In addition, it can accurately detect the other diseases with clinical symptoms similar to PE. The aim of this study is to evaluate the frequency of PE and nonemboli...
