Article Synopsis
- The study compared the outcomes of distal bypass surgery for chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI) in hemodialysis-dependent (HD) patients versus renal transplant (RT) patients, focusing on factors like mortality and limb salvage rates.
- Out of 334 bypass procedures, HD patients exhibited better 30-day mortality and five-year patency rates compared to RT patients, with no deaths in the RT group.
- The results indicated that RT patients had a significantly lower limb salvage rate and worse outcomes largely due to disease progression in their distal arteries after surgery.
Background: Full iterative reconstruction algorithm is available, but its diagnostic quality in pediatric cardiac CT is unknown.
Objective: To compare the imaging quality of two algorithms, full and hybrid iterative reconstruction, in pediatric cardiac CT.
Materials And Methods: We included 49 children with congenital cardiac anomalies who underwent cardiac CT.
A 74-year-old man was referred to our hospital for a mass in the pancreatic head found during screening chest computed tomography. Contrast computed tomography showed a 5-cm multicystic mass with an irregular border containing a solid component showing contrast enhancement. Caudal to this mass, a 5-cm solid mass of fat density with a nodular soft-tissue component was found.

A 37-year-old man visited our hospital for follow-up regarding a gallbladder polyp that had been detected incidentally via ultrasonography as part of a clinical survey. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography revealed incidentally that the right renal artery originated from the thoracic aorta at the level of the 11th thoracic vertebra.
