Coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) is the diagnostic modality of choice for patients with stable chest pain. In this review, we scrutinize the evidence on the use of CCTA for the screenin...
Clinical evidence suggests that CCTA imaging enhances cardiovascular risk stratification and prompts the timely initiation of preventive treatment leading to reduced risk of major adverse coronary eve...
To improve delivery of acute therapies for acute ischaemic stroke (AIS)....
We identified factors influencing the speed of diagnosis and delivery of acute therapies in a prospective cohort of 21 children with suspected AIS (eight with AIS, 13 stroke mimics) and explored them ...
Approximately half of the prospective and total AIS cohorts presented with acute, sustained hemiparesis, and were diagnosed relatively quickly. AIS was suspected and diagnosed more slowly in the half ...
Clinical features at presentation influence rapidity with which childhood AIS is suspected and diagnosed. Readily available CTA can direct thrombectomy in patients with large vessel occlusion and thro...
Children with acute ischaemic stroke (AIS) commonly present with symptoms other than sustained hemiparesis. Stroke is more slowly recognized in these patients, which limits potential therapies. Comput...
Peripheral vascular injuries are a rare finding in the setting of trauma but an important source of morbidity and mortality when present. Fast and accurate diagnosis followed by rapid repair of vascul...
The primary objective was to compare the accuracy of dynamic computed tomography (CT) angiography (d-CTA) with standardized triphasic contrast enhanced CT angiography (t-CTA) in diagnosing endoleak ty...
A retrospective review of patients who underwent d-CTA imaging after EVAR between March 2019 and July 2021 was performed. Deidentified images were independently reviewed by two-two blinded readers to ...
During the study period, 52 patients underwent d-CTA and 19 had all 3 modalities available for analysis. DSA imaging confirmed 4 (21.0%) type-I, 14 (73.7%) type-II, and 1 (5.3%) type-III endoleak. Fin...
Dynamic, time-resolved CTA is more accurate compared to standardized triphasic contrast enhanced CTA in diagnosing endoleak type after EVAR. In type-II endoleak, d-CTA better identified target vessels...
Compared with plaque rupture, plaque erosion has distinct features, which can be diagnosed only by intravascular optical coherence tomography. Computed tomography angiography (CTA) features of plaque ...
Ectopia cordis is a rare congenital defect with high mortality, and it remains challenging to radiologists, neonatologists and surgeons. CT angiography provides key information that aids in the decisi...
This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of persistent trigeminal arteries (PTAs) using computed tomography (CT) angiography, emphasize its major characteristics, and compare the findings with t...
Patients who underwent cerebral CT angiography in our radiology clinic for any preliminary diagnosis between December 2013 and December 2020 were included in this retrospective study. The patients wer...
A total of 1150 patients, (632 [55%] males and 518 [45%] females) were included in this study. A total of seven (0.6%) patients had PTAs. PTAs were located on the right and left sides in three (43%) a...
In conclusion, understanding the diagnosis and classification of PTAs is crucial for the diagnosis of possible vascular pathologies by neuroradiologists and physicians performing neurovascular interve...
Cerebral vasospasm (CV) is a serious complication after subarachnoid hemorrhage; however, swift identification can be challenging. Computed tomography perfusion (CTP) directly measures tissue perfusio...
The search strategy drew from English language publications in the PubMed, Embase, Medline, and Cochrane databases from January 1996 to September 2021. Diagnosis of CV by digital subtraction angiograp...
The search generated 22 studies. Seven CTA studies and 6 CTP investigations provided sufficient data for meta-analysis. Following pooled estimates, CTA carried a sensitivity of 0.76 (95% confidence in...
This meta-analysis on the diagnostic performance of CTA and CTP in identifying CV suggests that CTP may carry greater diagnostic accuracy compared with CTA. The clinical significance of this differenc...
The latissimus dorsi (LD) muscle has a dominant pedicle with one thoracodorsal artery and receives sufficient blood by segmental circulation through several perforators. Thus, it is widely used in var...
We analyzed the preoperative chest CT angiography results of 350 patients scheduled to undergo LD flap breast reconstruction following complete mastectomy for breast cancer between October 2011 and Oc...
A total of 700 blood vessels were classified according to the Kyungpook National University Plastic Surgery-Thoracodorsal Artery (KNUPS-TDA) classification: 388 (185 right and 203 left), 126 (64 right...
While there is some diversity in the vascular anatomical structures of the LD flap, the dominant vessel can be found in a similar location in almost all cases and no flap had absence of a dominant ves...
Background A previous coronary computed tomography (CT) angiographic study failed to discriminate optical coherence tomography-defined intact fibrous cap culprit lesions (IFC group) from those with ru...
