The histopathological features of IgG4-related coronary arteritis involve a large number of IgG4-positive plasma cell infiltrates in the tissues of the coronary adventitia, causing adventitia fibrosis and diffuse enlargement, forming a boudoir mass around the coronary artery with neoplastic thickening of the artery wall. CT angiography of the coronary artery shows the thickening of the coronary vessel wall and the mistletoe sign formed by the surrounding tumor-like mass which are the characteristic manifestations of this disease. This article expounds on IgG4-related coronary arteritis and explains its pathogenesis, imaging features and diagnostic criteria.

Objective: Previous studies assessing left atrium (LA) function in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) have not simultaneously analyzed left ventricle (LV) function.To evaluate differences in LA and LV volume and function in patients with AF during and between AF episodes compared to healthy subjects by using dual-source computed tomography (DSCT).Materials and Methods: Sixty-one consecutive patients with AF and 30 healthy subjects underwent retrospective electrocardiography-gated DSCT.Thirty of 61 AF patients experienced AF during scan acquisition (AF episode subgroup), and 31 were in sinus rhythm (AF non-episode subgroup).LA and LV functions were analyzed with dedicated software and groups were compared with analysis of variance and least significant difference test. Results:The maximal LA volumes in healthy subjects, the AF episode subgroup, and the no AF episode subgroup were 94.4±19.9mL, 121.8±42.4mL, and 101.4±32.9mL, respectively (p=0.005).Left ventricular end-diastolic volumes (LVEDV) in healthy subjects, the AF episode subgroup and the no AF episode subgroup were 160.5±34.4mL, 131.7±37.3mL, and 138.1±27.6 mL, and respectively (p=0.003).Left ventricular end-systolic volumes were 55.6± 19.4 mL, 65.2±32.4mL, and 51.0±14.9mL, respectively (p=0.060).Increased LA volume, decreased LVEDV, and decreased LA and LV systolic function were found during AF episodes. Conclusion:Our data contributes to understanding the mechanism of AF and guides clinical management of patients with AF.
Objective: To explore the imaging and clinical features of Behcet's disease with coronary artery involvement in order to improve the diagnosis and treatment in clinical practice. Methods: A total of 6 Behcet's disease patients with coronary involvement diagnosed and treated in our hospital from 1999-08 to 2016-11 were analyzed. Coronary angiography (CAG) and coronary CTA were performed for diagnosis. There were 5 cases received CAG and 5 cases received CTA examinations. Results: All 6 patients had the first clinical visit by sudden pericardial tapenade, myocardial infarction or cardiac shock. For diagnosis: the imaging presentation included coronary stenosis, occlusion and pseudo aneurysm formation. 3 patients had anterior descending artery involvement, 1 had the far-end of left circumflex involvement and 2 had the middle segment of right coronary involvement; all patients were combining large amount of pericardial effusion. For treatment: there were 3 patients with aneurysm received conservative treatment (1 case had open thoracic exploration), 1/3 lost contact and 2 having long-term normal life; 3 patients received coronary stent implantation without optimal effect. Conclusion: The patients of Behcet's disease with coronary involvement may easily form pseudo aneurysm; CAG/CTA has been helpful for diagnosis. Clear pre-operative diagnosis of etiology is important for treatment.

OBJECTIVE:To explore impact of coronary CT angiography findings on preventive medical treatment and control of coronary artery disease (CAD) risk factors.METHODS:Consecutive patients with atherosclerotic plaque detected by coronary CT angiography were enrolled in our study from September 2013 to December 2014, grouped as <50% stenosis and ≥ 50% stenosis.Baseline and follow-up data were recorded.Comparative analysis was performed both between stenosis groups and pre- and post-CT angiography data.Multivariable Logistic regression were preformed to investigate association between coronary CT angiography findings and subsequent medical therapies.RESULTS:Totally 160 patients were enrolled in our study, 99 were <50% stenosis and 61 were ≥ 50% stenosis.Significant reduction of total cholesterol (5.06 ± 1.04 vs 4.54 ± 1.09 mmol/L, P<0.01), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (3.16 ± 0.95 vs 2.60 ± 0.88 mmol/L, P<0.01), and triglyceride (1.66 (1.14, 2.28) vs 1.55(1.07, 2.05) mmol/L, P=0.004) were observed Pre- versus post-CT angiography. Compared to patients with <50% stenosis, patients with ≥ 50% stenosis demonstrated more significant reduction with regard to total cholesterol (-0.70 ± 0.94 vs -0.42 ± 0.96 mmol/L, P=0.035) and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (-0.78 ± 0.99 vs -0.43 ± 0.79 mmol/L, P=0.016). After CT angiography, aspirin (13.8% vs 65.6%, P<0.01) and statin (20.0% vs 71.9%, P<0.01) use were significantly increased, blood pressure medication (53.1% vs 63.1%, P=0.07) use showed no statistical differences. Adjusted for baseline risk factors and pretest medications, CT angiography findings were independently associated with increased post-CT angiography use of aspirin (adjusted OR (95% CI) : 3.58 (1.61-7.99), P=0.002) and statin (adjusted OR (95% CI) : 15.01 (4.40-51.22), P<0.01).CONCLUSION:Coronary CT angiography findings demonstrated direct impact on subsequent medical therapies and control of CAD risk factors, and offered important guidance for prevention strategies of CAD.
Objective: To evaluate the clinical characteristics in patients with coronary sinus oriifce atresia (CSOA). Methods: We retrospectively studied 22 CSOA patients for their clinical characteristics of cardiovascular involvement. They were treated in our hospital from 2005-02 to 2014-05 including 15 male and 7 female at the age of 1.5-76 (50.88 ± 14.97) years. All patients receive echocardiography and coronary CTA examination. Results: The diagnosis of CSOA was confirmed by contrast-enhanced cardiac MDCT in all patients. According to coronary vein blood flow direction, the patients were classified into 3 types: LA (left atria) type,n= 9 patients with blood flow back into LA including 3 cases from left superior vena cava (LSVC) to LA and 2 combining with complicated congenital cardiac abnormalities. RA (right atria) type,n=5 patients with blood flow back to RA including 2 cases directly to RA and 3 cases indirectly from LSVC to RA. Mixed type,n=8 patients with small branch of blood flow back to both LA and RA including 4 cases combining LSVC involvement. There were 9/22 patients with LSVC involvement including 3 with blood flow directly to LA and 6 with blood flow via in-nominate vein to RSCV then to RA. Echocardiography could not diagnose CSOA. ECG showed 5 patients with arrhythmia and 3 of them had successful RFCA, 1 failed RFCA and 1 received permanent pace maker implantation. There were 6/22 patients combining congenital cardiac abnormalities including 1 of atrial septal defect (ASD), 5 of complicated congenital heart disease (CHD), and 3 of them with confirmed CSOA diagnosis by contrast-enhanced MDCT before operation, 2 having post operative symptom and the diagnosis was confirmed by CT. All 5 CHD patients received operation and no one had operation for CSOA alone. Conclusion: Clear diagnosis of CSOA and its associated arrhythmia, LSVC involvement and cardiac abnormalities are important for preventing cardiovascular accident. Contrast-enhanced MDCT has the important value for diagnosing the patients with CSOA.

PURPOSE:To compare coronary plaque burden, composition, distribution and the degree of coronary artery stenosis in invasive coronary angiography (ICA) diagnosed coronary artery disease (CAD) patients with or without metabolic syndrome (MetS).METHODS:From January 2008 to June 2011, consecutive patients underwent both coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) and ICA within three months were enrolled. Patients with history of previous percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) and coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) were excluded. Plaque characteristics and maximal luminal diameter stenosis were analyzed on a 16-segment basis as suggested by the American Heart Association classification.RESULTS:The study population consisted of 872 patients [age (60.2 ± 10.0) years, 72.70% males] including 377 patients with MetS and 495 patients without MetS. The median coronary artery calcium score (CACS) was higher in MetS patients than in non-MetS patients [102 (10, 410) vs. 58 (0, 274) , P < 0.01]. Percentage of patients with no coronary artery calcium was significantly lower in MetS group than in non-MetS group [19.63% (74/377) vs. 30.71% (152/495) , P < 0.01], while percentage of patients with severe coronary calcium (CACS ≥ 1000) were significantly higher in MetS than non-MetS group [8.22% (31/377) vs. 4.65% (23/495) , P = 0.03]. The proportion of patients with 1-vessel disease was lower [23.61% (89/377) vs. 36.77% (182/495), P < 0.01], 2-vessel [29.71% (112/377) vs. 22.83% (113/495), P < 0.05] and 3-vessel disease [35.54% (134/377) vs. 24.44% (121/495) , P < 0.01] were higher in MetS group than in non-MetS group. Calcified plaque of LM and the middle and distal coronary artery were significantly higher in MetS group than in non-MetS group (all P < 0.05) .CONCLUSIONS:CAD patients with MetS are associated with severer coronary artery calcium deposition and higher percentage of calcified plaque in the middle and distal coronary arteries and severer obstructive coronary vessels.

Objective To evaluate the CT features of aorto-right atrial fistula after aortic valve replacement(AVR) or ascending aortic replacement.Methods Eighty-seven patients with aortic-right atrial fistula underwent CT after operation.The CT features were retrospectively analyzed.Fistula was measured according to maximum width of the shunt.Results Aorto-right atrial fistula was detected in 87 patients after aortic valve replacement or ascending aortic replacement by CT scan. Among them,25 patients were diagnosed as mild aorto-right atrial fistula,47 patients as moderate,and 15 patients as severe.Thirty-seven patients underwent follow-up CT.Among them,10 patients with mild to moderate aorto-right atrial fistula were considered to have complete regression,8 patients with mild aorto-right atrial fistula considered to have incomplete regression,14 patients with mild to moderate aorto-right atrial fistula considered to have stable condition,and 5 patients with moderate aorto-right atrial fistula considered to have progression at the 3-month follow-up.Conclusion CT is a useful tool for defining aorto-right atrial fistula after AVR or ascending aortic replacement and for evaluating it in follow-up.
Objective To investigate the intra- and interobserver repeatability of coronary artery disease (CAD) diagnosis based on invasive coronary angiography (ICA) and CT coronary angiography (CTCA).Methods Two readers with comparable experience ( over 10 years) independently evaluated ICA results of 42 consecutive patients with a blind method. After 30 days,one of them reviewed the same patients again.Another two comparable-experience (over 10 years) readers evaluated the results of CTCA (prospectively ECG-triggering) from the same 42 patients in the same way.The inter-reader and intra-reader repeatability of ICA and CTCA were analyzed by performing Kappa test and calculating the percentage of the segments with agreement on stenotic degree.Using ICA as reference,the accuracy of CTCA in diagnosing CAD was studied by comparing the area under ROC. Results The Kappa between readers for ICA and CTCA were 0.91 and 0.81.Intra-reader Kappa were 0.92 and 0.83 respectively (x2 =509.4 and 432.5,all P <0.01 ).The percentage of the segments with agreement between readers on the degree of stenosis were 80.8% (494/611) in ICA and 75.2% (469/624) in CTCA ( x2 =2.75,P =0.10),and within the same reader,86.9% (531/611)in ICA and 81.9% (511/624) in CTCA(x2 =3.76,P =0.053).With≥ 50%narrowing as a CAD diagnosis criterion,the agreement rates for two readers were 96.6% (590/611 ) in ICA and 94.4% (589/624) in CTCA( x2 =3.36,P =0.07),and for the same reader,97.4% (595/611) in ICA,95.4% (595/624) in CTCA ( x2 =3.62,P =0.06).Using ICA as reference,two readers of CTCA results achieved a sensitivity and specificity of 84.9% (530/624)and 98.1% (612/624).The area under ROC was 0.94 (95% CI 0.91-0.97).Conclusions Both ICA and CTCA demonstrate good repeatability in diagnosing CAD.The repeatability of ICA is superior to that of CTCA.A certain discrepancy exists in two readings from the same reader or two readers.
OBJECTIVE:To analyze the diagnostic feature, treatment and prognosis of patients with Cantrell syndrome.METHODS:Clinical manifestation, diagnosis, operation and follow-up data of 5 patients with Cantrell syndrome were summarized in this retrospective analysis.RESULTS:The age of the 5 patients was 7 days-76 years, definite diagnosis was made in 3 cases and 2 cases presented feature of incomplete Cantrell syndrome. Three patients with full Cantrell syndrome were correctly diagnosed before operation and confirmed by operation. One patient with incomplete Cantrell syndrome (two-vessel stenosis) received bypass surgery. Another asymptomatic patient with incomplete Cantrell syndrome (apical diverticulum of the left ventricle) does not need operation and is under observation. During follow-up, 1 patient died at 60 months after operation and the remaining 4 patients are alive and well.CONCLUSIONS:With the development of modern imaging technology, it becomes easy to make correct diagnose Cantrell syndrome before operation. Prognosis is fine post timely operation and related intervention.
