We report a case of a 1‐year‐old girl where computed tomography (CT) angiography demonstrated presence of ill‐defined heterogenous soft tissue thickening obliterating the mediastinal fat planes in right peri‐hilar region and encasing the hilar right pulmonary artery and its segmental branches leading to marked narrowing with nonvisualization of the right‐sided pulmonary veins. The case highlights the features of fibrosing mediastinitis as well as the role of CT angiography in the diagnosis and accurate depiction of the extent of involvement of the mediastinal vasculature and airways.
We report a case of a 27‐day‐old girl with an unusual association of crossed pulmonary arteries with common arterial trunk showing pulmonary dominance with an interruption of aortic arch between the origin of the left common carotid artery and left subclavian artery. This case highlights the potential airway‐related implications of this variant pulmonary arterial anatomy in the setting of the common arterial trunk and the role of computed tomography angiography in providing not only accurate and three‐dimensional visualization of complex cardiovascular anatomy, but also a comprehensive evaluation of associated airway abnormalities with great precision.
We report a case of a 45‐year‐old man with severe aortic stenosis where computed tomography angiography incidentally revealed a fistulous communication between the conal branches of the right coronary artery and anterior interventricular artery and the left anterolateral aspect of the pulmonary trunk with a conglomerate of nondilated tortuous vessels along the anterior surface of right ventricular outflow tract.
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.
