Left main coronary calcifi cation mimicking dissection: multislice computed tomography saves the patient from emergent surgery

Çok kesitli bilgisayarlı tomografi (ÇKBT) kullanılarak koroner arter diseksiyonu teşhisi (özellikle sol ana koronerin) nadir olarak raporlanmıştır. Koroner anatomi ve kalsifi kasyon ÇKBT ile değerlendirilebilir. Burada ÇKBT ile saptanmış diseksiyonu taklit eden sol ana koroner kalsifi kasyonu olan akut koroner sendromlu bir vakayı sunduk.

Diseksiyonu taklit eden sol ana koroner kalsifi kasyonu: çok kesitli bilgisayarlı tomografi hastayi acil cerrahiden kurtardı

Diagnosis of coronary artery dissection using multislice computed tomography (MSCT), particularly of the left main coronary artery (LMCA), has been rarely reported. Coronary anatomy and calcification can be evaluated with MSCT. Herein, we present a case with acute coronary syndrome and coronary artery calcifi cation mimicking the LMCA dissection detected by MSCT.
