Background: Myocardial perfusion scintigraphy (MPS) is a well-established diagnostic tool. The sensitivity and specificity of single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) MPS (p = 0.661, z = -0.438) (Cardiol J 2016; 23, 1: 71-77)
An arterial pseudoaneurysm is a cavity which does not consist of three layers of arterial wall and is generally seen at femoral and radial artery sites due to bone fractures, arterial injuries and iatrogenic reasons such as catheterization. The treatment choice may be either surgical or conservative. Patients with pseudoaneurysm should be carefully followed and the treatment choice should be immediately decided to avoid possible complications. We report a case of pseudoaneurysm formation in the radial artery that occurred one week after arterial catheterization for coronary angiography. The treatment choice for this patient was surgical and he was discharged without any complications.
Kalsifiye amorf tümör, kalpte nadir olarak görülen bir nonneoplastik tümör veya intrakaviter kardiyak kitledir. Sıklıkla sol ventrikül ve mitral kapak ile ilişkilidir. Klinik semptomlar asemptomatik durumdan ciddi nörolojik ve kardiyopulmoner semptomlara kadar çeşitlilik gösterir. Kitle ameliyat öncesinde ekokardiyografi, bilgisayarlı tomografi veya manyetik rezonans görüntüleme gibi görüntüleme çalışmaları ile gösterilebilse de, kesin tanı numunenin patolojik olarak incelenmesi ile konur. Tekrarlama olasılığı nedeniyle cerrahi tedavi sonrasında ekokardiyografi ile takip önerilmektedir. Bu yazıda mitral kapağın arka yaprakçığı ile ilişkili olan, eforla birlikte dispne ve yorgunluk gibi nispeten sessiz semptomlara neden olan bir kitle sunuldu. Anah tar söz cük ler: Kalsifiye amorf tümör, tanı, cerrahi tedavi.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
