  • in the second case, modeling is performed for an ideal geometry of the aneurysm in the MCA with a partly blocked vessel. (karger.com)
  • So, the risk of growth of the aneurysm is higher in cases with a partly blocked vessel. (karger.com)
  • A 78-year-old man had a medical history of aortic valve stenosis of a tricuspid valve, abdominal aortic aneurysm, and endovascular aneurysm repair in 2005. (cdc.gov)
Calcification1
  • CCT imaging for CAD initially quantified coronary artery calcification, as it was readily detected on CT images, and quantified to generate a coronary artery calcium score (CACS) that represented a surrogate marker of the presence and extent of CAD. (bmj.com)
Mortality2
  • Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is today one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in the world. (hindawi.com)
  • Coronary artery diseases (CAD) remain the main cause of mortality and functional impairment all over the world, in spite of huge progress on medical therapeutics in recent decades. (biomedcentral.com)
Interventional2
  • Images in this case are usually taken at 2-3 frames per second, which allows the interventional radiologist to evaluate the flow of the blood through a vessel or vessels. (wikipedia.org)
  • Both these techniques enable the interventional radiologist or cardiologist to see stenosis (blockages or narrowings) inside the vessel which may be inhibiting the flow of blood and causing pain. (wikipedia.org)
Calcium1
  • Virtual non-contrast reconstructions enable coronary artery calcium scoring from contrast-enhanced scans. (bvsalud.org)
