CT evaluation of aberrant right subclavian artery: anatomy and clinical implications.

Unlabelled: PurposeThe aim of the study was to perform CT angiography-based evaluation of aberrant right subclavian artery prevalence, anatomy, and its influence on clinical symptoms.

Methods: A total of 6833 patients who underwent 64-slice or dual-source CT angiography and those who revealed aberrant right subclavian artery underwent evaluation of its anatomy and were interviewed for the presence of clinical symptoms.

Results: Aberrant right subclavian artery was found in 32 (0.

Anomalous origin of the coronary artery from the wrong coronary sinus evaluated with computed tomography: "high-risk" anatomy and its clinical relevance.

Objective: The aim of the study was to assess coronary arteries arising from the wrong coronary sinus, including CT-evaluated high-risk anatomic features, clinical symptoms and cardiac events during follow-up.

Methods: A total of 7,115 patients scheduled for 64-slice or dual-source cardiac CT were screened for the presence of isolated anomalous origin of the coronary artery from the wrong coronary sinus.

Results: Anomalous origin of the coronary artery was found in 54 (0.

[Anomalous right upper pulmonary venous drainage into the superior vena cava with coexistence sinus venosus atrial septal defect (ASD)].

Article presents a case of a 71-year old woman with pulmonary right upper venous drainage into the superior vena cava and with coexistence sinus venous type Atrial Septal Defect (ASD) which was revealed as interesting finding in multislices computed tomography angiography during estimation of coronary arteries.

[Cystic lesion in the topography of occluded aortocoronary saphenous vein bypass].

Article presents a case of a 66-year old manwith a pericardial cyst, localized in tlhe topography of an occluded aorto-ccoronary saphenous vein graft. The lesion was revealed in computed tomogrnaphy and also evaluated in the subsequently performed magnetic resonance.

Multiple renal angiomyolipomata. A case report.

We present a 76-year-old patient with multiple renal angiomylipoma in one kidney. The patient had not been having any urinary tract symptoms, the lesions in kidney were visualized in US examination performed because of cholelithiasis suspicion. Angiomyolipoma is included to the benign tumors of hamartoma group and its growth is related to the hormonal activity of the organism.

[Primary percutaneous coronary intervention with DES implantation after Bentall de Bono procedure; late in-stent restenosis after DES implantation].

We report a case of acute coronary syndrome in a 58 year-old man with a history of double Bentall De Bono procedure (redo due to endocarditis). During the second operation, both main native coronary arteries were anastomosed end-to-end to aortic prosthesis using short vein graft insertions. Four months later the patient presented to the CCU with unstable angina.

[Assessment of coronary artery stents in computed tomography: state of the art].

Percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) with stent implantation play an important role in the revascularization therapy of coronary artery disease. Introduction of drug eluting stents (DES) diminished problem of restenosis but brought several new major problems like i.e.
