We present a patient with abnormal origin of the right coronary artery from the left anterior descending artery. The patient had chest pain probably related to myocardial ischemia...

An operator’s ability to determine the optimal vascular access strategy for patients undergoing peripheral endovascular intervention is critical to maximizing procedural safety and success. Individualizing an approach to access requires careful planning, and is contingent upon a solid general knowledge of normal and abnormal vascular anatomy, as well as the particulars of each patient’s history, physical examination, and non-invasive test results...

An aortic aneurysm is defined as localised artery dilatation greater than 50% of the expected normal luminal diameter. Aneurysms that extend from the descending thoracic aorta into the abdomen are classified as the thoracoabdominal variety. Thoracoabdominal aortic ane...

Patency of infarct-related artery (IRA) before percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for ST-elevation  myocardial infarction (STEMI) is associated with better outcomes. Little is known of the clinical or angiographic predictors  of IRA recanalisation after administration of combined fibrinolytic therapy before PCI...

The aim of this study was to investigate the incidence, origins and courses of coronary artery anomalies using a combination of angiographic and surgical methods in Turkish children with tetralogy of Fallot (ToF)...

Coronary artery anomalies that take place during fetal development are determined in approximately 1.3% of coronary angiograms. The right coronary artery originating from the left coronary system is an extremely rare variation of the single coronary artery anomaly in which the prognosis is usually benign provided that the anomalous vessel dose not pass between the aorta and the pulmonary artery. Anomalous right coronary artery anomaly has been rarely associated with other congenital cardiovascular anomalies such as transposition of the great vessels and tetralogy of Fallot. 

Celem tego artykułu jest przegląd tradycyjnych metod obrazowych używanych w diagnostyce miażdżycy tętnic kończyn dolnych. Omówiono następujące metody badań: angiografię, tomografię komputerową, ultrasonografię i rezonans magnetyczny i ich modyfikacje. 

Myxomas are the commonest cardiac tumours and are usually localised in the atria. Neovascularisation in cardiac myxomas has been shown in previous case reports. However, the clinical importance of neovascularisation in cardiac myxomas is not well understood.

Zakład Radiologii Uniwersyteckiego Centrum Klinicznego w Gdańsku dysponuje nowoczesnym dwuźródłowym 128-warstwowym tomografem komputerowym. Zastosowanie dwóch układów lampa-detektor do pełnej rekonstrukcji pojedynczego obrazu wymaga jedynie jednej czwartej obrotu gantry, co pozwala na dwukrotną poprawę rozdzielczości czasowej w porównaniu do skanerów jednoźródłowych. Ma to istotne znaczenie w obrazowaniu serca, które jest narządem o dużej przestrzennej ruchomości...
