| Popis: | Computed tomographic features of thoracic or abdominal aneurysms and dissections are described in clinical conditions which one is likely to encounter in routine cardiovascular practice. The commonest of these is atherosclerotic disease involving the thoracic and abdominal aorta. Other conditions studied are Marfan’s syndrome, Takayasu’s disease (aortoarteritis) and postoperative aneurysm e.g., following coarctation repair. Another iatrogenic lesion likely to be encountered is postangioplasty dissection. A single case of abdominal aortic aneurysm following attempted fine needle aspiration of the pancreas is also reported. The role of computed tomography in the management of aneurysms/dissections is discussed. |
