Abstract
BACKGROUND:To investigate the feasibility of a low tube voltage (80 kVp) protocol with low concentration contrast media (CM) (iodixanol 320 mgl/ml) as compared with a high tube voltage (100 kVp) protocol with high concentration CM (iomeprol 400 mgl/ml) in coronary CT angiography (CCTA) for patients with body mass index less than 30. MATERIALS AND METHODS:A total of 93 patients were randomly assigned into three groups and underwent CCTA as follows: Group A) 100 kVp, 100-350 mAs, 400 mgl/ml CM at 4ml/s, and reconstructed with filtered back projection; Group B and C) 80 kVp, 100-450 mAs, 320 mgl/ml CM at 4 ml/s and 5 ml/s, respectively and reconstructed with iterative reconstruction. Objective and subjective image quality (IQ) was analyzed. RESULTS:The image noise, intravascular attenuation, signal-to-noise ratio and contrast-to-noise ratio of major coronary arteries did not differ significantly among three groups. Subjective IQ analyses on vascular attenuation and image noise did not differ significantly, either (all of p > 0.05). Qualitative IQ of Group B and C was non-inferior to that of Group A. Substantial reduction of radiation exposure was achieved in group B (2.60 ± 0.48 mSv) and C (2.72 ± 0.54 mSv), compared with group A (3.58 ± 0.67 mSv) (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION:CCTA at 80 kVp with 320 mgl/ml CM and iterative reconstruction is feasible, achieving radiation dose reduction, while preserving IQ.
摘要
背景: 研究低浓度造影剂 (二1212) (碘克沙醇320 mgl/ml) 的低管电压 (80 kVp) 方案与高浓度二1212 (iomeprol 100 mgl/ml) 的高管电压 (400 kVp) 方案的可行性。在冠状动脉CT血管造影 (CCTA)对于体重指数小于30的患者。 材料和方法: 将93例患者随机分为3组,分别行CCTA: A组100 kVp,100-350 mAs,400 mgl/ml CM,4毫升mm/s,滤波反投影重建; B、C组80 kVp,100-450 mAs,320 mgl/ml CM,分别在4毫升CM/s和5毫升CM/s下重建,并进行迭代重建。分析客观和主观图像质量 (IQ)。 结果: 3组间冠状动脉图像噪声、血管内衰减、信噪比、对比噪声比差异无统计学意义。对血管衰减和图像噪声的主观IQ分析也没有显著差异 (均p> 0.05)。B组和C组的质量智商不劣于A组。与A组 (2.60 ± 0.48 mSv) 相比,B组 (2.72 ± 0.54 mSv) 和C组 (3.58 ± 0.67 mSv) 的辐射暴露显著降低 (p <0.05)。 结论: CCTA在80 kVp与320 mgl/ml二1212和迭代重建是可行的,实现辐射剂量减少,同时保留IQ。

METHODS::We present the case of a 61-year-old woman with a large tumoral infiltration extending from the pelvis throughout the inferior vena cava inferior to the right atrium, protruding into the right ventricle and right ventricular outflow tract. She had been treated 10 years before for low-grade endometrial stromal sarcoma by hysterectomy and adnexectomy followed by hormone- and radio-therapy. Due to cancer recurrence, she underwent peritonectomy, appendectomy, and resection of terminal ileum.
METHODS:AIMS:Significant platelet activation after long stented coronary segments has been associated with periprocedural microvascular impairment and myonecrosis. In long lesions treated either with an everolimus-eluting bioresorbable vascular scaffold (BVS) or an everolimus-eluting stent (EES), we aimed to investigate (a) procedure-related microvascular impairment, and (b) the relationship of platelet activation with microvascular function and related myonecrosis. METHODS AND RESULTS:Patients (n=66) undergoing elective percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in long lesions were randomised 1:1 to either BVS or EES. The primary endpoint was the difference between groups in changes of pressure-derived corrected index of microvascular resistance (cIMR) after PCI. Periprocedural myonecrosis was assessed by high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T (hs-cTnT), platelet reactivity by high-sensitivity adenosine diphosphate (hs-ADP)-induced platelet reactivity with the Multiplate Analyzer. Post-dilatation was more frequent in the BVS group, with consequent longer procedure time. A significant difference was observed between the two groups in the primary endpoint of ΔcIMR (p=0.04). hs-ADP was not different between the groups at different time points. hs-cTnT significantly increased after PCI, without difference between the groups. CONCLUSIONS:In long lesions, BVS implantation is associated with significant acute reduction in IMR as compared with EES, with no significant interaction with platelet reactivity or periprocedural myonecrosis.
METHODS:BACKGROUND:Aortopulmonary window is an uncommon congenital heart disease, with untreated cases not surviving beyond childhood. However, very rarely it can present in adult patients with features of pulmonary hypertension. Clinically these patients cannot be differentiated from other more common conditions with left to right shunt. Transthoracic echocardiography if performed meticulously, can depict the defect in aortopulmonary septum. RESULTS:We report a case of large unrepaired aortopulmonary window in a 23 years old patient, diagnosed on transthoracic echocardiography.
