Major coronary artery anomalies in a pediatric population: incidence and clinical importance. A et al. In vivo detection of coronary artery anomalies in asymptomatic athletes by echocardio-graphic screening. Prospective echocardio-graphic diagnosis and surgical repair of anomalous origin of a coronary artery from the opposite sinus with an interarterial course. Anomalous origin of right coronar...

Although innominate artery transection for innominate artery compression of the trachea is recently used for prevention of life-threatening complications (e.g. massive bleeding and obstructive apnoea) in patients with neurological disorders, pre-existing tracheostomy poses a risk of mediastinal infection with sternotomy. We successfully performed innominate artery transection on such a patient ...

Congenital ventricular diverticulum is rare. We present the case of a 76-year-old man who underwent cardiac multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) for recent intermittent chest pain. Obstructive single-vessel coronary artery disease was diagnosed. A left ventricular diverticulum of about 10 x 9 mm was found incidentally. Conventional angiography confirmed both diagnoses. Ventricular diverticu...

A 55-year-old man was re-admitted for persistent hemoptysis and high fever three weeks after an initial left upper sleeve lobectomy for a central squamous lung cancer tumor. Pulmonary artery pseudoaneurysm and pulmonary infection were confirmed by multidetector computed tomography angiography and subsequent emergency completion pneumonectomy. The development of pulmonary artery pseudoaneurysm, ...
