• Invasive coronary angiography was performed in high risk transplant candidates. Multidisciplinary decision on listing for and revascularisation. 169 patients listed underwent angiography, 73 had artery disease. Coronary disease did not affect 5-year survival post-transplant. Cardiovascular assessment is central to evaluation of liver (LT) However, there a lack consensus the diagnostic algorit...

Background: A coronary artery fistula (CAF) is an aberrant vascular contact of arteries with cardiac chambers or any section the pulmonary systemic circulation, which accounts for 0.3% congenital heart disorders. CAFs have been observed to be as common 0.9% at computed tomographic (CT) angiography, greater than previously estimated prevalence 0.002 – invasive angiography.
 Case Summary: 76...

Ruptured internal iliac artery aneurysms (IIAA) are extremely rare, and the repair can be challenging. This case reports described an 83-year-old patient who presented at our Emergency Department with acute abdominal pain based on a ruptured IIAA. He refused open repair and only wanted to be treated as minimally invasive as possible. Therefore endovascular embolization of the IIAA was performed...

Abstract Background The prevalence of coronary artery fistula (CAF) among Egyptian population is increasing due to widespread availability CT angiography using high-end scanners. purpose this observational study was determine the incidence and types CAF detected during routinely performed angiography. Results Among 2263 retrospectively evaluated studies, only in 17 (0.75%) patients with proxima...

• Gadolinium-enhanced magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) is highly sensitive in detecting atherosclerotic renal artery stenosis (RAS) and is significantly more accurate in excluding the disease. Gadolinium-based imaging should be avoided in patients with glomerular filtration <30 mL/min per 1.73 m because of the risk of nephrogenic systemic fibrosis. • Spiral computed tomography angiography (...

Coronary computed tomographic angiography (cCTA) has emerged in recent years as a noninvasive modality to evaluate coronary artery disease. Many studies have revealed the excellent diagnostic accuracy of cCTA when compared with invasive coronary angiography (ICA) or intravascular ultrasound (IVUS). It is generally accepted that the functional significance of coronary artery stenosis is importan...

For a decade, coronary computed tomographic angiography (CCTA) has been used as a promising noninvasive modality for the assessment of coronary artery disease (CAD) as well as cardiovascular risks. CCTA can provide more information incorporating the presence, extent, and severity of CAD; coronary plaque burden; and characteristics that highly correlate with those on invasive coronary angiograph...

background: the aim of this study was to estimate the frequency and rate of the first 50 common types of invasive procedures in iran. methods: data about the number of all invasive procedures and each type of procedure that were conducted in iran in 2010 were collected using the main insurance organizations database. these numbers were sorted in an excel database, and the first 50 invasive proc...
