Giant cell arteritis is rarely reported in people aged less than 50 years. We report a case of giant cell arteritis in a woman who developed symptoms of dizziness, headache, bilateral sensorineural hearing impairment, and had 1 episode of transient left hemiparesis before the age of 30. Carotid angiography showed multiple segmental narrowing in cranial vessels. Subsequently, at the age of 31, s...

A 29-year old female with a history of isolated patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) ligation 14 years back, complained of increasing shortness of breath on exertion and hoarseness for 6 years. Chest radiography revealed a widened mediastinum (Fig. 1A). Computed tomography (CT) angiography showed a ductal pseudoaneurysm and pulmonary arterial dilatation (Fig. 1B and C). Although surgical intervention...

Coronary artery anomalies are often discovered incidentally during cardiac catheterization or computed tomography coronary angiography and may involve the affected coronary artery origin and its course. Coronary artery anomalies are associated with congenital heart disease. The affected coronary arteries may have an unusual high take off origin, origin from contralateral or non-coronary sinus, ...

OBJECTIVE To review the pathophysiology, clinical signs, diagnosis, and treatment of pulmonary thromboembolism (PTE) in small animals. DATA SOURCES Human and veterinary clinical studies, reviews, texts, and recent research in canine and feline PTE diagnosis and thromboembolic therapeutics. HUMAN DATA SYNTHESIS In humans, clinical probability assessment and point-of-care D-dimer-based algori...

Two cases of PA-VSD were examined by computed tomography angiography (CTA) using dual-source 128-MDCT to reveal the anatomy and morphology of the pulmonary circulation. The first case was diagnosed as PA-VSD type B, while the second case was diagnosed as PA-VSD type A. These cases show that dual-source 128-MDCT can be used to provide clinical information for PA-VSD with the appropriate examinat...

Aim: Pulmonary embolism caused by micromboli and microthrombuses might be associated with increased mortality morbidity in Covid-19. Routine thromboprophylaxis application contribute to clinical recovery reducing the risk of pulmonary embolism. In this study, effects on outcomes were investigated examining rates computed tomographic angiography requests for differential diagnosis patients Mater...

Coronary angiography and computed tomography angiography in the diagnosis of extrinsic compression of left internal mammary artery A 82-year-old man with a previous coronary artery bypass graft was admitted to our hospital for recurrent and refractory episodes of rest angina with electrocardio-graphic signs of anterior myocardial ischemia. Coronary angiography revealed a three-vessel obstructiv...

BACKGROUND The use of computed tomography pulmonary angiography (CTPA) has been increased during the last decade. OBJECTIVES We studied the adherence to current diagnostic recommendations for evaluation of pulmonary embolism in a teaching hospital of Tehran University of Medical Sciences. PATIENTS AND METHODS The registered medical records (Wells scores and serum D-dimer level) of all patie...
