Scintigraphic examination of aneurysms of abdominal aorta and iliac arteries

Scandinavian Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery
A E EklundP E Asard

Abstract

The use of a radionuclide (99Tcm-pertechnetate) for the diagnosis of aortic and iliac aneurysms is described. The method is rapid, harmless for the patient and is performed without puncture of arteries. The extent of the aneurysm and the perfusion of the kidneys can be visualized. The method is well suited for differential diagnosis and for postoperative control. Some illustrative cases are described.

Aneurysm

Aneurysms are outward distensions or bulges that occurs in a weakened wall of blood vessels. Discover the latest research on aneurysms here.

Cardiac Aneurysm

Aneurysm refers to a bulge of the wall or lining of a vessel commonly occurring in the blood vessels at the base of the septum or within the aorta. In the heart, it usually arises from a patch of weakened tissue in a ventricular wall, which swells into a bubble filled with blood. Discover the latest research on cardiac aneurysm here.

Aortic Aneurysm

An aortic aneurysm is the weakening and bulging of the blood vessel wall in the aorta. This causes dilatation of the aorta, which is usually asymptomatic but carries the risk of rupture and hemorrhage. Find the latest research on aortic aneurysms here.
