Abstract:
Objective To investigate the clinical application of electron-beam CT(EBCT)in the diagnosis of congenital cardiovascular diverticula. Methotis Retrospective analysis of 9 patients with congenital cardiovascular diverticula confirmed by operation and pathology was done.Of them,enhanced continuous volume scan was performed on 8 patients and enhanced single slice scan was performed on one patient with an Imatron C-150 scanner.Results The group of 9 pailents included one patient with diverticulum of the left ventricle.3 patients with diverticulum of the atria and 5 patients with diverticulum of the aorta.EBCT scan and three dimensional reconstruction could demonstrate not only the origin,size,shape,Location and adjacent structure of diverticula,but also other important complicated abnormalities such as ventrieuloarterial connection disorder,cardiac sepud defect,aortic coarctation and even dissection.Conclusion EBCT is an ideal noninvasive technique in the diagnosis of congenital cardiovascular diverticula
