Sixteen ruptured aneurysms in 16 patients considered endovascular embolizations were examined. The findings of axial source images (axial images) and reconstructed three-dimensional CT angiography (3D-CTA) of helical CT were compared to those of rotational digital subtraction angiography (DSA). The aneurysmal neck and arterial branches adjacent to the neck were closely investigated. In seven out of 16 cases (43.8%), information provided by axial images and/or 3D-CTA was more useful than that of rotational DSA in evaluating the aneurysmal neck and arterial branches. Helical CT can provide valuable information on ruptured aneurysms that cannot be obtained by rotational DSA in some patients. This technique is useful to obtain anatomical information about aneurysms and to select the best therapeutic method.

Aneurysm II: Clinical Manifestations and Diagnostic Studies

Thoracic, aortic arch and abdominal aneurysms are significant vascular conditions that can present with various clinical manifestations and lead to serious complications. Understanding these manifestations and the appropriate diagnostic studies is essential for effective management and treatment.Thoracic Aortic AneurysmsThoracic aortic aneurysms often remain asymptomatic until they reach a size that impinges on adjacent structures. They typically cause deep, diffuse chest pain that radiates to...

Imaging Studies for Cardiovascular System V: CT

Cardiac computed tomography (CT) scanning is an advanced cardiac imaging technique that utilizes CT technology, with or without intravenous (IV) contrast, to produce accurate cross-sectional virtual slices of specific areas of the heart, coronary circulation, and major blood vessels such as the aorta, pulmonary veins, and arteries. The computer processes these slices to generate three-dimensional images. Multidetector CT (MDCT) is a rapid form of CT scanning that captures multiple slices...

Aneurysm III: Interprofessional Care

Aneurysm management involves either conservative medical therapy or surgical intervention, depending on the size and symptoms of the aneurysm. Conservative management is generally reserved for smaller, asymptomatic aneurysms, while larger or symptomatic aneurysms often necessitate surgical repair.Conservative Medical TherapyFor small, asymptomatic aneurysms, particularly abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) less than 5.5 centimeters in diameter, conservative medical therapy is recommended. This...
