“…The complete vascular ring is formed by the segment of the ascending aorta anteriorly, Kommerell diverticulum posteriorly and the ligamentum arteriosum coursing on the left side. This results in complete encircling of trachea and esophagus (49,50). If the diverticulum is aneurysmal, it may itself cause compression of esophagus or else it may rupture spontaneously (51).…”

Congenital anomalies of the aortic arch include diverse subgroups of malformations that may be clinically silent or may present with severe respiratory or esophageal symptoms especially when associated with complete vascular rings. These anomalies may be isolated or may be associated with other congenital heart diseases. Volume rendered computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) help in preoperative surgical planning by providing information about the complex relationship of aortic arch and its branches to the trachea and esophagus. Three dimensional capabilities of both computed tomography angiography (CTA) and MRA are helpful in determining evidence of tracheal or esophageal compression or other high-risk features in patients with a complete vascular ring.

Objective To evaluate the accuracy of visual analysis and of the coronary artery calcium (CAC) score in nontriggered computed tomography (CT), in comparison with that of the CAC score in electrocardiogram-triggered CT, in identifying coronary calcification.Materials and Methods A total of 174 patients for whom CT was indicated for CAC scoring underwent nontriggered and triggered CT in a 64-channel multislice scanner, in a single session without a change in position. The images were interpreted by a radiologist with seven years of experience in thoracic and cardiovascular radiology. The measurement of coronary calcium was carried out by three methods: CAC score with dedicated software in nontriggered CT, CAC score with dedicated software in triggered CT, and visual analysis without dedicated software in nontriggered CT.Results In nontriggered CT, the CAC score presented an accuracy of 95.98% (95% CI: 91.93-98.04). The visual analysis showed an accuracy of 97.13% (95% CI: 93.45-98.77).Conclusion Nontriggered CT showed excellent accuracy in the identification and exclusion of coronary calcification, either the CAC score was determined with dedicated software or through visual analysis.
