Comparison Study of Echocardiography and Dual‐Source CT in Diagnosis of Coronary Artery Aneurysm Due to Kawasaki Disease: Coronary Artery Disease

摘要: The identification of coronary artery aneurysm (CAA) in the acute and chronic phase disease is prime importance for assessing likelihood lesions cardiovascular sequelae. Occasionally, recognition distal has been proven challenging by traditional echocardiography. Our purpose was to evaluate clinical application two-dimensional echocardiography (2DE) detecting CAA caused Kawasaki (KD) compare with dual-source computed tomography (DSCT). A total 24 patients known KD CAAs were studied two imaging modalities, i.e., 2DE DSCT; that say, number, position, shape, size each its association thrombus, detected first from then compared those obtained DSCT performed on same day. Meanwhile diameters all segments measured patient. Giant aneurysms (GAs) 5 patients, small medium identified 19 patients. have results proximal artery, whereas conclusion our comparison visualization indicated provided more explicit than 2DE. mural thrombus could be clearly delineated GAs DSCT. demonstrated an accurate technique quantify KD. However, superior visualization. Therefore, a combination can offer overview anatomy.
