In older adults with patent ductus arteriosus, CT is widely used for duct visualisation because angiography images can be inadequate for evaluation. We report the case of a 73-year-old woman with a highly calcified patent ductus arteriosus whose CT images were insufficient for accurate measurement. Intravascular ultrasonography is useful for sizing of and guiding device closure of the duct.
在患有动脉导管未闭的老年患者中,CT 广泛用于导管可视化,因为血管造影图像可能不足以进行评估。我们报告了一例 73 岁女性患有高度钙化的动脉导管未闭的病例,其 CT 图像不足以进行准确测量。血管内超声对于导管的大小测量和指导器械闭合非常有用。
