Computed tomography aortography (CTA) is used in the assessment of aortic pathologies and planning of surgical intervention. However, its dependence on iodinated contrast can result in development of ...
This retrospective pilot study examined 12 CTA scans performed with 20 mLs of iodinated contrast and assessed image quality with both quantitative and qualitative markers. All scans were performed on ...
Obtained quantitative assessment values included mean attenuation 189.9 HU, mean SNR 9.6 and mean CNR 8.0. All 12 scans demonstrated individual mean SNR values above predetermined quality thresholds w...
Our results suggest that CTA utilising an ultra-low contrast dose of 20 mLs (6 g iodine) yields scans of diagnostic quality for therapeutic decision-making in vascular surgical intervention....
To determine whether CT aortography was performed in proportion to patient risk for acute aortic syndrome (AAS) and incidence of AAS for different ethnic groups....
All atraumatic thoracic aorta CT aortographic examinations performed in adults (age > 15 years) suspected of having AAS between January 2009 and December 2019 at Auckland City Hospital (New Zealand) w...
In total, 1646 CT aortographic examinations were performed in 1543 patients (mean age, 62 years ± 16 [SD]; 877 male patients). Māori (34% [68 of 203]) and Pacific Islanders (35% [80 of 229]) were more...
Māori and Pacific Islanders were at disproportionately higher risk of AAS but had fewer requested CT aortographic examinations compared with other ethnic groups. This increased risk of AAS in Pacific ...
Paravalvular leak (PVL) is a shortcoming that can erode the clinical benefits of transcatheter valve replacement (TAVR) and therefore a readily applicable method (aortography) to quantitate PVL object...
JenaValve's Trilogy transcatheter heart valve (THV) (JenaValve Inc, Irvine, CA) is the only...
Using the CAAS-A-Valve 2.1.2 software (Pie Medical Imaging, Maastricht, the Netherlands), an independent core lab retrospectively analyzed the aortograms of 88 consecutive patients (68 severe AR; 20 s...
Pre- and post-THV aortograms were analyzable in 17 (22.4%) and 47 (54.0%) patients, respectively. The main reasons preventing analysis were the descending aorta overlap of the outflow tract (30%) and ...
Quantitative aortography confirms the low rates of AR and the large reduction in RF following the implantation of Jenavalve's Trilogy THV, irrespective of implant indication. However, these limited da...
To evaluate the impact of intraprocedural cone-beam CT (CBCT) aortography on culprit artery identification and clinical outcomes in patients undergoing bronchial artery embolization (BAE)....
Two hundred eighty-two patients with 317 BAE procedures were retrospectively reviewed. Patients who underwent preprocedural chest CT angiography (CTA) without intraprocedural CBCT aortography were cat...
In Group B, CBCT aortography detected more culprit non-bronchial systemic arteries originating from the subclavian arteries compared to chest CTA (16 vs 3, p = 0.026), and the average number of emboli...
BAE with intraprocedural CBCT aortography enabled the embolization of more culprit arteries, leading to lower recurrent hemoptysis rates without increasing the risk of renal deterioration and radiatio...
Question Does intraprocedural CBCT aortography improve culprit artery detection and clinical outcomes in BAE for hemoptysis? Findings CBCT aortography significantly improved the detection of additiona...
This study aims to identify a morphological indicator of aortic dissection (AD) based on the geometrical characteristics of the thoracic aorta....
We evaluated computed tomographic angiograms of 63 samples with AD (22 with type A AD, 41 with type B AD) and 71 healthy samples. Via centerline extraction and spatial transformation, the spatial enta...
Via the 3D coordinate transformation algorithm, the optimal aortic view was obtained. On this view, the geometrical characteristics of the thoracic aortas of the healthy controls were similar to a por...
The morphology of the healthy thoracic aorta could be fit to a circle, while that of the dissected aorta had poorer similarity to the circle. The statistics of the circle are an effective indicator of...
This study is registered in the Chinese Clinical Trial Registry (ChiCTR2000029219)....
Thoracic endovascular aneurysm repair (TEVAR) of the aortic arch has started to spread in recent years. We present our initial experience with TEVAR involving supra-aortic branches using parallel and ...
Open repair is the most promising curative treatment option for patients with chronic type B aortic dissection. However, based on our experience, following the accidental detection of intra-pleural ad...
We report two cases in which open repair was attempted; however, the proximal descending thoracic aorta could not be exposed due to the presence of severe adhesion in the pleural cavity. In these pati...
Replacement of the distal aorta, which is typically easy to access despite the presence of intra-pleural adhesions, with a vascular graft serves as a reliable distal landing zone for subsequent endova...
Published interim results of the extended provisional extension to induce complete attachment (e-PETTICOAT) technique suggested favorable remodeling in chronic type B Aortic Dissection (cTBAD). This r...
Patients with cTBAD below the 55 mm aortic size were eligible for the management using the e-PETTICOAT technique. Follow-up was conducted at 1, 2 and 5 years based on the computed tomography angiogram...
A total of 20 patients underwent the e-PETTICOAT surgery. The survival rate at 1, 2, and 5 years was 75%, 70%, and 64%, respectively, and the percentage of patients without any reinterventions was 100...
The use of e-PETTICOAT technique in cTBAD might not have a beneficial influence on the long-term results....
This study aims to predict endoleak after endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) using machine learning (ML) integration of patient characteristics, stent-graft configuration, and a selection of vessel l...
We evaluated 1-year follow-up CT scans (arterial and delayed phases) in patients who underwent EVAR for the presence or absence of an endoleak. We also obtained data on the patient characteristics, st...
The AUC, accuracy, 95% confidence interval (CI), sensitivity, and specificity were 0.88, 0.88, 0.79-0.97, 0.85, and 0.91 for ML applying XGBoost, respectively....
The diagnostic performance of the ML method was useful when factors such as the patient characteristics, stent-graft configuration and vessel length, diameter and angle of the vessels were considered ...
Based on our findings, we suggest that this is a potential application of ML for the interpretation of abdominal CTA scans in patients with abdominal aortic aneurysms scheduled for EVAR....
