Abstract:
We present the case of a 61-year-old man with a history of dyspnea and disparity in blood pressure of the arms and legs due to a stenotic biscupid aortic valve and a hemodynamically relevant restenosis of a resected coarctation. The coarctation was treated with an extra-anatomic transdiaphragmal aorto-aortic bypass graft. At the same time, the biscupid aortic valve was replaced. Postoperative follow-up contrast-enhanced multidetector row computed tomography (MDCT) and three-dimensional (3D) postprocessing of the axial data sets using the volume-rendering technique was performed. This case of complex vascular structures demonstrates the potency of MDCT combined with the 3D visualization technique.

Computed Tomography
The technique was invented in the 1970s and is based on the principle that as X-rays pass through the body, they are absorbed or reflected at different levels. In the technique, a patient lies on a motorized platform while a computerized axial tomography (CAT) scanner rotates...
