Stenotic lesions of aorta: Imaging evaluation using multidetector computed tomography angiography.

Asian Cardiovascular & Thoracic Annals
Arun SharmaGautam Sharma

Abstract

Aortic involvement can be secondary to various pathologic disease processes. These may result in stenotic or aneurysmal aortic lesions with a varied spectrum of imaging findings including intra-luminal, mural, and periaortic changes along with associated loco-regional or distal changes, depending on the etiology. Multidetector computer tomography with its recent advances has become the frontline imaging modality for the evaluation of aortic pathologies. Comprehensive evaluation of the aortic pathology with simultaneous evaluation of lungs, bones, and visceral organs is possible with a single multidetector computer tomography acquisition. It allows accurate primary diagnosis, identifies important anatomic landmarks and relationships, and identifies associated cardiovascular anomalies. Moreover, it serves as an adjunct in diagnosis of various complications, helps in treatment planning and detection of disease progression during follow-up.

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.

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.
