Description:
While most current texts on the coronary artery include only a single chapter on anomalies, this is the first of its kind
to focus on the challenges involved with imaging coronary artery anomalies in infants. Since the appearance of coronary
artery anomalies is dramatically different in infants with commonly associated congenital heart disease, unique
techniques
and careful timing are required for imaging these 1-2 mm blood vessels. Additionally, many coronary anomalies are not
commonly seen because the infants don’t survive past childhood. Comprised of hundreds of anomalies in infants collected
over a number of years, this atlas includes 3d color-coded images, surgical reports, angiograms, CTs and MRIs, as well as
detailed instructions for performing coronary CTAs in infants.
The 3d models also show the relation of coronary anomalies with congenital heart disease. Atlas of Pediatric CTA of
Coronary Artery Anomalies is a timely resource for pediatric cardiologists, pediatric radiologists, fellows and residents
who wish to improve their skill set when faced the dual challenges of the size of the patient and the associated complex
congenital heart disease seen with the coronary anomalies. This atlas is also a valuable resource for medical students,
physician assistants and nurse practitioners in pediatric cardiology and pediatric radiology.
