Post-mortem computed tomography angiography using left ventricle cardiac puncture: A whole-body, angiographic approach

Abstract: Post-mortem computed tomography (PMCT) and PMCT angiography (PMCTA) are rapidly becoming effective and practical methods in forensic medicine. In this article, the authors introduce a whole-body PMCTA approach involving left ventricle cardiac puncture. This procedure was performed in 9 males and 3 females. PMCT was performed first. Then a biopsy core needle was used for a percutaneous puncture into the left ventricle through the intercostal area under CT guidance. 1000 mL of contrast media (diatrizoate meglumi… Show more

“…10 When the brain tissue is cut open, huge hematomas is seen surrounding the blood vessels, making it difficult for the naked eye to separate the malformed vessels. 11 The combination of PMCT and PMCTA allows a complex network of blood vessels to be visible and permanently preserved. This modality has been considered an alternative if an autopsy is refused.…”

“…Histological examination also established the facts of PMCT angiography that the death was caused by an arteriovenous distortion (Figure 4). In 2017, Shao et al [28] executed PMCT angiography on a deceased who suffered a head injury during a traffic accident. The deceases had fractures of frontal and sphenoid bones-left.…”

“…We have previously identified traumatic aortic rupture, cerebral arteriovenous malformation, and coronary heart disease using PMCT and PMCTA and have developed a whole-body angiographic approach using left ventricular cardiac puncture 10–12 . In forensic pathology, we often encounter cases of death secondary to postsurgical complications.…”

“…[7][8][9] We have previously identified traumatic aortic rupture, cerebral arteriovenous malformation, and coronary heart disease using PMCT and PMCTA and have developed a whole-body angiographic approach using left ventricular cardiac puncture. [10][11][12] In forensic pathology, we often encounter cases of death secondary to postsurgical complications. Common complications after surgery include infections (eg, infections and adhesions in the surgical area), bleeding, and venous thrombosis of the lower extremities.…”
