Article Synopsis
- Laparoscopic sacral colpopexy (SC) is a surgical procedure for treating apical prolapse, but carries a risk of damaging the median sacral artery (MSA) during surgery, potentially causing severe bleeding.
- Researchers reviewed 60 pelvic CT scans to locate the MSA's position relative to key anatomical landmarks like the ureters and iliac arteries.
- Findings indicated that the MSA is typically situated slightly left of the sacral midline, with various structures on the right side being closer to the MSA than those on the left, offering crucial information for surgeons to minimize injury risks during SC.
We assessed the performance of a new-generation, 256-row computed tomography (CT) scanner for detection of obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD) compared to invasive quantitative coronary angiography. A total 121 consecutive symptomatic patients without known CAD referred for invasive coronary angiography (age 59 ± 12 years, 37% women) underwent clinically driven 256-row coronary computed tomographic angiography (CCTA) before the invasive procedure. Obstructive CAD (>50% diameter stenosis) was assessed visually on CCTA by 2 independent observers using the 18-segment society of cardiovascular CT model and on invasive angiograms using quantitative coronary angiography (the reference standard).
