10.19.3 Diagnosis
Patent MIDCAB to the LAD.
10.19.4 Discussion
MIDCAB is a surgical option that is a less invasive method than a traditional open medial sternotomy CABG and also known as “keyhole surgery.” The sternum is spared and the surgery can be performed through a 4–6 cm fifth intercostal thoracotomy. The surgery is performed “off- pump.” Although, all myocardial territories can be accessed, MIDCAB surgery is often reserved for single or double obstructing left coronary tree disease. In general, a single pedicle LIMA graft is used to anastomose one or more branches of the LAD.
10.19.5 Pearls and Pitfalls
Clues that a MIDCAB has been performed is lack of sternotomy wire sutures and a small left para­sternal surgical defect in the chest wall. Follow the course of the LIMA to assess the surgical anastomosis.

11.1 Introduction
Coronary computed tomographic angiography (CCTA) is a powerful, noninvasive tool to evalu­ate coronary anatomy, plaque, and areas of steno­sis in the coronary arteries. Technological advancements have now given CCTA diagnostic capabilities that approach those of invasive coro­nary angiography, which remains the gold stan­dard for coronary artery imaging. CCTA is often used in an outpatient setting to evaluate for coro­nary artery disease as well as graft patency fol­lowing coronary artery bypass. Recent studies have shown that CCTA can effectively rule out acute coronary syndrome in low to intermediate­risk patients, who present with suspicious chest pain. The use of CCTA is on the rise, and it is important to recognize its diagnostic capabilities not only related to the coronary arteries and heart, but also with respect to extracardiac structures.

To visualize each of the coronary vessels on
CCTA, z-axis coverage must extend from the upper mediastinum to the upper abdomen. Depending on use of a wide or narrow field of view, this will include variable portions of the lungs, mediastinum, chest wall, thoracic spine, and abdomen. Not surprisingly, incidental find­ings will often be identified that may or may not be clinically significant. An incidental find­ing is classified as significant if it requires sub­sequent radiographic evaluation or therapeutic intervention.
Patients undergoing cardiac imaging are not
necessarily representative of the general popula­tion because of the presence of cardiac disease, additional associated risk factors, and ongoing symptoms, all of which may affect the prevalence and types of clinically significant incidental findings.
In one of the earliest large studies to analyze
incidental findings on cardiac electron beam CT in the context of calcium scoring, investi­gators found that 53% of all patients had one or more incidental findings [1]. Most incidental findings were limited to the heart or pericar­dium (38%). Extracardiac incidental findings included pneumonia (1.7%), pulmonary malig­nancy (0.1%), pleural disease (8.9%), esopha­geal carcinoma (0.06%), lymphadenopathy (4%), hiatal hernia (1%), hepatic tumors (2%), and spinal degenerative disease (5.4%). Regarding clinical significance, 9% of these

findings required further evaluation, and only 1% resulted in therapeutic intervention.
More recent investigations with modern multi- detector CT scanners have found similar results, with a prevalence of significant findings as high as 23%. One important difference is that CCTA requires contrast administration, which enhances the ability to detect additional pathology such as pulmonary embolism and aortic dissection. For example, in a study
looking at patients who underwent CCTA after coronary artery bypass grafts, incidental pul­monary embolism was found in 1.9% of patients in the immediate postoperative period.
There has been considerable debate about the necessity to look for and report incidental findings. Many studies have confirmed that incidental find­ings are common and have the potential to influ­ence treatment; identifying such findings should be a component of the image interpretation.

11.2 Case 11.1
11.2.1 History
A 56-year-old male screened for coronary artery disease. History is significant for hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and family history of coronary artery disease.
11.2.2 Findings
There is a solitary pulmonary nodule in the left upper lobe of the lung measuring approximately 1 cm in diameter. There is no associated lymph­adenopathy or calcification (Fig. 11.1).
11.2.3 Diagnosis
Incidental solitary pulmonary nodule.
11.2.4 Discussion
Solitary pulmonary nodules (SPN) are relatively common findings that must not be overlooked because they may represent malignancy. Most often,
patients are asymptomatic, and these lesions are found incidentally or in screening studies for lung cancer in high-risk populations.
By definition, a pulmonary nodule is a dis­crete opacity that is less than 3 cm; any lesion that is greater than 3 cm is termed a mass. The differential diagnosis of a SPN is large and can be divided into benign and malignant etiologies. Benign causes include infection or abscess, inflammatory disease (e.g., sarcoidosis), vascular abnormalities (e.g., AVM, aneurysm), and benign neoplasms (e.g., hamartoma, lipoma, fibroma). Malignant causes include primary lung cancer or metastasis.
Certain radiographic features help to distinguish a benign versus malignant etiology of SPN. Several patterns of calcification are associated with a benign SPN including complete calcification, laminated calcification, popcorn calcification, and central cal­cification. Margins that are smooth and well defined are more likely benign. The growth rate of a SPN can be highly predictive of a benign or malignant cause. SPNs that double in less than 1 month usu­ally have an infectious etiology. SPNs that are stable over 2 years are usually benign although ground glass nodules may have longer doubling times and those that double in less than 2 years (and greater than 1 month) are usually malignant.

C. Brown and C.S. White
Management of SPNs can be difficult because physicians must consider risks of further radia­tion from follow-up imaging and possible tissue sampling versus the likelihood of diagnosing or missing a lung cancer. The predictable growth rate of malignant and benign SPNs is the basis for the Fleischner Society recommendations for follow-up of lung nodules [2]. These recommen­dations outline scheduled CT follow-up, PET imaging, and/or biopsy based on the size of the SPN and risk stratification of the patient.
11.2.5 Pearls and Pitfalls
When available, prior imaging studies should be carefully studied to assess for changes in the size or morphology of any nodules. Solid nodules that are stable over 2 years or those that are com­pletely calcified can be considered benign.

11.3.3 Diagnosis
The diagnosis is adenocarcinoma of the lung.
11.3.4 Discussion
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related mortality in both men and women. The prevalence of lung cancer is second only to that of prostate cancer in men and breast cancer in women. Non­small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) accounts for approximately 75% of all lung cancers. NSCLC is divided further into adenocarcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and large cell carcinoma.
Extracardiac findings are frequently encoun­tered on cardiac CTA. Primary lung cancer typi­cally appears as a noncalcified soft tissue mass with irregular or spiculated borders. The tumors have variable size and may be located anywhere in the thorax.
11.3.5 Pearls and Pitfalls
Careful attention to the extracardiac structures is of paramount importance in order not to miss reporting a neoplasm in the field of view.

11.4 Case 11.3
11.4.1 History
A 40-year-old male, who presented with chest pain after using cocaine.
11.4.2 Findings
There is a focal consolidation in the right middle lobe (Fig. 11.3).
11.4.3 Diagnosis
Pneumonia, possibly secondary to aspiration given patient’s history of drug abuse.
11.4.4 Discussion
Pneumonia develops when pathologic organisms invade lung parenchyma and initiate a host immune response. This manifests as inflammatory
exudate in the airspaces, which causes the radio­graphic appearance of consolidation. Spread of organisms can occur through the airways via inha­lation or aspiration, through vasculature (hematog­enous spread) or by direct contact with infected adjacent structures such as the mediastinum or abdomen. Pneumonia can be caused by bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites. The integrity of the immune system plays an important role in the sus­ceptibility of infections from various organisms.
There are three radiographic patterns of pneumonia: lobar, lobular or bronchopneumo­nia, and interstitial. Lobar pneumonia usually involves inflammation in the distal airways first, which then spreads proximally along the air­ways to involve the whole lobe. S. pneumoniae and Klebsiella pneumoniae often produce lobar pneumonia.
Lobular or bronchopneumonia is caused by inflammation in the bronchi, which then spreads dis­tally to involve the pulmonary lobule. S. aureus and H. influenza often produce bronchopneumonia.
Interstitial pneumonia is caused by inflamma­tion in the bronchioles and pulmonary intersti­tium, which causes radiographic thickening of airways and reticulonodular opacities. Viral infections and mycoplasma often produce inter­stitial pneumonia.
Although each organism has predilection for a specific radiographic appearance, there is considerable overlap. Other complications of infection that can occur with pneumonia are abscess and empyema.
Fig. 11.3 Axial. Right middle lobe consolidation indica­tive of airspace disease (arrow)
11.4.5 Pearls and Pitfalls
In an erect patient, aspiration pneumonia is most common in the right middle lobe or bilateral lower lobes because the bronchi are oriented more vertically.
A chest radiograph may require 4–6 weeks to normalize after pneumonia.
