ICE-guided zero-fluoroscopy CA in AVNRT patients is feasible and safe. Real-time visualization of the true endovascular borders and cardiac structures allow for safe catheter navigation during the ICE-guided EPS and might be an alternative to visualization technologies using geometry reconstructions.
We report the case of an undiagnosed descending aortic aneurysm,
combined with coarctation and persistent left brachiocephalic truncus in
a 59-years old male. This case underscores the increased necessity for
aortic imaging while facing a poorly controlled hypertension,
erroneously considered as of essential origin.
A fifty-six year old Caucasian male was referred for a radiological evaluation from the gastroenterologist. The main complaint was a heartburn sensation while lying in the supine position that was not responding to antacids. Furthermore and only recently, the patient noted a pulsatile mass below the sternum that was not increasing in dimensions.
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.
