Objective: To assess the value of MDCT with vessel probe(VP) in the diagnosis and treatment of isolated superior mesenteric artery dissection (ISMAD).
Methods: Clinical and imaging data of 15 patients with ISMAD admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-Sen University from June 2008 to May 2013 were retrospectively reviewed. Relationship among radiograpic features, clinical symptoms and therapeutic options of ISMAD was examined based on the imaging of 64-MDCT with VP.
Results: The dissection crevasse of all the 15 patients located in anterior arterial wall, and the distance was(24.3±9.7) mm from the origin of SMA. Meanwhile dissection crevasse of 73.3%(11/15) patients located in the zone within 1 cm of proximal end and 1 cm of distal end of the proximal SMA curvature. There were significant differences between patients without abdominal pain(8 cases) and those with abdominal pain(7 cases) in dissection length, minor diameter ratio of true lumen to false lumen, major diameter ratio of true lumen to false lumen(all P<0.01). According to classification of Yun, there were 5 patients of typeI( and 3 type II(a, whose conservative treatment were successful. In other 7 patients of type II(b, 3 patients received successful conservative treatment, and 4 patients had symptom remission after turning to interventional treatment or surgery.
Conclusions: 64-MDCT with VP can clearly depict the image manifestation of ISMAD, which provides evidence for the diagnosis and therapeutic options of ISMAD.

Background: The purpose of this paper is to compare the efficacy of dual-phase multidetector computed tomography angiography (CTA) with transthoracic echocardiogram (TTE) and cardiac catheterization angiography (CCA) in evaluation of pulmonary arteries and collateral vessels, major aortopulmonary collateral arteries (MAPCAs) in children with cyanotic congenital heart diseases.
Methods: The study was a prospective observational study where 32 pediatric patients (18 males, 14 females and age range 2-116 months) with cyanotic congenital heart diseases (CCHD) were included. All patients underwent TTE, CTA, and CCA.
Management of a Patient With an Anomalous Right Coronary Artery: A Case Report.

Coronary artery anomalies are rare congenital defects that involve abnormalities in the origin, course, or termination of the three main epicardial coronary arteries. Due to the variety of aberrant coronary artery defects, the clinical presentation can differ. Anomalous origins of the right coronary artery include the pulmonary trunk, ascending aorta, left sinus of Valsalva, and a course that traverses between the great vessels.

Article Synopsis
- The study evaluates how the quality of computed tomography angiography (CTA) images, particularly those from Photon Counting Computed Tomography (PCCT), impacts the effectiveness of a deep learning (DL) algorithm in detecting large vessel occlusions (LVO) during acute ischemic stroke diagnostics.
- 443 cases were analyzed, including both positive and negative occlusion cases, and the DL software prototype's performance was assessed with sensitivity and specificity metrics.
- Results showed that the DL algorithm performed better with PCCT images compared to conventional CT images, achieving higher sensitivity for all occlusions and a marked improvement in identifying M2 occlusions, suggesting that improved image quality enhances detection capabilities but further research is necessary.
Functional and prognostic impacts of serum albumin with thoracic arterial calcification among asymptomatic individuals.

Although several studies have demonstrated the cardiovascular (CV) implication of hypoalbuminemia and arterial calcification among hemodialysis patients, little is known regarding their cardiac correlates and relevant CV outcomes in asymptomatic individuals. We assessed the potential CV interrelation between serum albumin (SA) and aortic calcification. Among 2,723 asymptomatic individuals underwent cardiovascular health check-up, we assessed serum albumin (SA) level, thoracic aortic calcification (TAC) and coronary artery calcification (CAC) by multi-detector computed tomography, and ultrasound-determined carotid plaque burden.

Background: This study aimed to investigate the hemodynamic and anatomic factors associated with sinus thrombosis following transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), integrating in vivo patient data analysis and in vitro experiments.
Methods And Results: Postprocedural, 4-dimensional, multiphase computed tomography data from 211 patients enrolled in the ADAPT-TAVR (Anticoagulation Versus Dual Antiplatelet Therapy for Prevention of Leaflet Thrombosis and Cerebral Embolization After Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement) study were analyzed. The prevalence of native sinus thrombosis was examined in relation to valve type, implant depth, and anatomic features.
