Multimodality noninvasive cardiac imaging established the diagnosis of aneurysms of Vieussens' arterial ring

Int J Cardiovasc Imaging. 2013 Apr;29(4):739-40. doi: 10.1007/s10554-012-0177-3. Epub 2013 Jan 10.

Abstract

Noninvasive cardiac imagines are rapidly evolving in recent years. In this patient with Vieussens' arterial ring aneurysm, multimodality noninvasive cardiac imaging provided sufficient information for diagnosis and surgical decision making. This report no only provides unique information leading to better understanding on aneurysms of Vieussens' arterial ring, but also highlights the important role of multimodality noninvasive cardiac imagines in the diagnosis and management of certain cardiac emergencies.
