Endoleak after endovascular aneurysm repair: duplex ultrasound imaging is better than computed tomography at determining the need for intervention.

30 Oct 2009 OBJECTIVE: Color duplex ultrasound (CDU) imaging is a noninvasive alternative to computed tomography (CT) for the detection of endoleak. This study compared CT and CDU imaging in the detection of endoleaks requiring intervention after endovascular ... Read more...

[Surgery for coarctation of the aorta in Iceland 1990-2006]

29 Sep 2009 BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Coarctation of the aorta (CoA) is a congenital narrowing of the aorta, distal to the origin of the left subclavian artery. Treatment consists of surgical excision but balloon angioplasty is also a treatment option for selected ... Read more...

Prospective and retrospective ECG gating for thoracic CT angiography: a comparative study.

29 Sep 2009 OBJECTIVE: The objective of our study was to compare radiation dose, contrast load, thoracic aortic attenuation value, and image quality parameters of MDCT thoracic aortography performed with prospective and retrospective cardiac gating. MATERIALS ... Read more...
