Aortic stenosis (AS) involves calcific and fibrotic degeneration of the valve tissue. The only noninvasive method for evaluating both processes is contrast-enhanced computed tomography angiography. We ...

If aortic injury is not diagnosed quickly, morbidity and mortality are significantly increased," CT angiography offers a much more rapid diagnosis than traditional catheter aortography, and it is ...

Therefore, it is necessary to evaluate the inner diameter of the aorta in infants with CoA and to explore the relevant factors affecting aortic dilatation. At present, multi-slice spiral computed ...

A Bentall procedure and total aortic arch replacement were performed, with an intraoperative stent inserted into the descending aorta, and the patient had an uneventful postoperative course. From this ...

An angiography-derived assessment of the functional significance of coronary lesions appears to offer advantages over pressure wire-based physiologic testing in patients with severe aortic stenosis, a ...

Our study adds to the growing evidence that catheter angiography may be unnecessary in cases where the CT angiogram is indeterminate for aortic injury,” Dr. Sammer said.

Aortic angiography: Itis a procedure using a special dye and x-rays to estimate the blood flow through the aorta.

Invasive angiography remains the standard for pre-transcatheter aortic valve replacement evaluation, but certain patients with clear CT images of the coronary arteries may not need the invasive ...

CT angiography successfully showed improvements made by glucocorticoid treatment in patients with giant-cell arteritis who presented with large-vessel vasculitis, according to researchers from the ...

BACKGROUND: Aortic stenosis (AS) involves calcific and fibrotic degeneration of the valve tissue. The only noninvasive method for evaluating both processes is contrast-enhanced computed tomography ...
