Abstract |
|
The purpose of this case is to analyze the
contribution of Volume Rendering Computed Tomography
Angiography (CTA) as diagnostic procedure in the
diagnosis of aortic coarctation (CoA). A 35 year old
male patient was examined, using 64-Row Detector
Multislice Computed Tomography. Imaging results and
clinical findings were consistent with CoA. The case
concluded that CTA is a non-invasive method of
investigation of the heart and aortic normal anatomy
and congenital variants, and it can be an
alternative to the invasive angiographic
investigations.
