In the last ten years, computed tomography (CT) angiography has evolved from an experimental diagnostic tool to the preferred imaging study for a variety of disease processes. At the same time, endovascular surgery has become the first-line therapy for several types of peripheral vascular disease. With the recent introduction of multidetector computed tomography, CT angiography of the entire peripheral vascular system is possible in mere seconds. This imaging modality has become critical for the pre-procedure planning and post-procedure follow-up of several endovascular procedures, including endovascular aneurysm repair, lower extremity revascularization, and renal artery revascularization. A thorough knowledge of the current applications of CT angiography with respect to the peripheral vasculature is essential for the endovascular specialist.
在过去十年中，计算机断层扫描（CT）血管造影已从一种实验性诊断工具发展成为针对多种疾病过程的首选影像学检查。与此同时，血管内手术已成为几种外周血管疾病的一线治疗方法。随着多探测器计算机断层扫描的近期引入，仅需数秒即可完成整个外周血管系统的CT血管造影。这种成像方式对于包括血管内动脉瘤修复、下肢血管重建和肾动脉血管重建在内的多种血管内手术的术前规划和术后随访至关重要。血管内专家必须全面了解CT血管造影在周围血管系统方面的当前应用。
