Coronary Artery Disease III: Native Vessel Disease

Multisession Courses

Presented on December 1, 2014
Presented as part of MSMC23: Cardiac CT Mentored Case Review: Part III (In Conjunction with the North American Society for Cardiac Imaging) (An Interactive Session)

Participants

Elliot K. Fishman MD, Presenter: Research support, Siemens AG Advisory Board, Siemens AG Research support, General Electric Company Advisory Board, General Electric Company Co-founder, HipGraphics, Inc

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

1) Understand pathology of the native coronary arteries beyond simple plaque disease. Topics will include coronary artery aneurysms, anomalies, and fistulae. 2) How to optimize the study performance and interpretation will be addressed as well.

ABSTRACT

The goal of this session is to learn how to interpret pathology involving the coronary arteries beyond the detection of coronary artery stenosis. Focus on exam acquisition protocols, study interpretation protocols, and minimizing radiation dose are addressed. Specific topics addressed will also include coronary artery aneurysm, myocardial bridging, anomalous coronary arteries as well as vasculitis. Potential pitfalls will be addressed and pearls for study optimization will also be discussed.
