PDFAbstract
Objective To evaluate the diagnositic value of dual-source coronary CTA in congenital coronary artery-pulmonary fistula (CCPF). Methods The imaging meterials of 3500 patients from August 2014 to July 2016 who undertaken dual-source coronary CTA examination were analyzed retrospectively. The dual-source coronary CTA imaging data were post-processing reconstructed by multi-planar reconstrcution(MPR), maximal intensity projection(MIP), volume rendering(VR) and vascular evaluation. Results 9 congenital coronary artery-pulmonary fistula (CCPF) patients were found in 3500 patients, including 4 patients with left/right coronary artery-pulmonary fistula, 2 patients with right coronary artery-pulmonary fistula, 2 patients with left anterior descending artery--pulmonary fistula and 1 patient with right conus branch artery- -pulmonary fistula. Conclusion Dual-source coronary CTA accurately diagnose the congenital coronary artery-pulmonary fistula and should be taken as a first method to exam congenital coronary artery-pulmonary fistula.
