12.4 Case 12.4
12.4.1 History
A 75-year-old male with coronary artery disease status post CABG and aortic stenosis undergoing evaluation for possible transcatheter aortic valve replacement.
12.4.2 Findings
CCTA demonstrated a calcified aortic valve. The bypass anatomy was defined as a saphenous vein graft to the right coronary artery, saphenous vein graft to an obtuse marginal and a left internal mam­mary artery (LIMA) graft to LAD (Fig. 12.4a–c).
12.4.3 Diagnosis
Previous history of CABG with new severe symptomatic aortic stenosis.
12.4.4 Discussion
In the evaluation of patients for transcatheter aortic valve therapy, cardiac CT scanning has many roles. In addition to evaluation of aortic valve characteris­tics, it can also be used for defining coronary artery bypass grafting anatomy in patients with remote history of coronary arterial bypass grafting surgery for whom the surgical report is not available. This is particularly important in setting of renal insuffi­ciency. Significant amounts of contrast volume can be used in trying to define bypass anatomy in indi­viduals in whom the operative report/bypass anat­omy is not available at the time of invasive coronary angiography. Also, it is also possible in the same setting with CTA to evaluate the thoracic, abdomi­nal, and pelvic vasculature to determine access routes for a transcatheter procedure with use of minimal contrast.

12.5 Case 12.5
12.5.1 History
A 82-year-old male presents with progressive exertional chest discomfort.
12.5.2 Findings
CCTA demonstrated a critical stenosed and heav­ily calcified lesion in the mid LAD (Fig. 12.5a, b).
12.5.3 Diagnosis
Critical mid calcified mid LAD lesion.

12.5.4 Discussion
In addition to determining the presence of criti­cally stenotic lesions, CCTA also allows for morphologic characteristics of coronary lesions that can be useful to determining the best treat­ment modality. In particular, the distribution and extent of calcium in coronary lesions is important in choosing the treatment options. The presence of heavy, and in particular, cir­cumferential calcium in coronary lesions is an important consideration for use of plaque modi­fication techniques (rotablator, orbital atherec­tomy, etc.) that lead to improved percutaneous intervention results.

12.6 Case 12.6
12.6.1 History
A 46-year-old male presents with progressive shortness of breath on exertion.
12.6.2 Findings
Transthoracic echo demonstrated a patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) with coronary CTA demon­strated a PDA (Type B) (Fig. 12.6a, b).
12.6.3 Diagnosis
Type B PDA.
12.6.4 Discussion
CCTA with inclusion of the aortic arch is useful for planning of percutaneous intervention for closure of PDAs. Defining of the shape, length, and width of the PDA facilitates choosing the appropriate device for closure. In this case, an Amplatzer PDA occlude was chosen. In con­trast, a type C PDA (Fig. 12.6c) in a separate patient was occluded with an Amplatzer vascu­lar plug 2.

12.7 Case 12.7
12.7.1 History
A 66-year-old female presented with atypical chest discomfort. She was evaluated in the emer­gency room and found to have normal cardiac biomarkers.
12.7.2 Findings
CCTA demonstrated non-obstructive coronary disease. She was found to have a secundum atrial septal defect with enlargement of the right atrium and right ventricle (Fig. 12.7).
12.7.3 Diagnosis
Ostium secundum atrial septal defect.
12.7.4 Discussion
It allows for evaluation of associated congenital defects (Anomalous pulmonary venous return, ventricular septa defects, etc.). It also facilitates decisions as to the feasibility of percutaneous closure versus surgical intervention (as in the case of an ostium primum ASD or sinus venosus defect which are usually corrected with surgical intervention).
The pairing of CT with transesophageal echo helps to plan an effective closure of secundum atrial septal defects.
The benefits of CCTA to the cardiologist in this setting are numerous. The CT scan allows for evaluation of the septal defect anatomy and can be used to planning of percutaneous closure.

12.8 Case 12.8
12.8.1 History
An 84-year-old female with significant past med­ical history of aortic stenosis presented with complaints of progressive shortness of breath on exertion.
12.8.2 Findings
Severe aortic stenosis with numerous comorbidi­ties and significant frailty. She was deemed not an ideal candidate for surgical aortic valve replacement and was referred to transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR).
CCTA was performed as part of her evaluation. Significant aortic annular calcification was noted that extended 2.5 cm into the left ventricle (Fig. 12.8).
12.8.3 Diagnosis
Severe aortic stenosis.
12.8.4 Discussion
Anatomic information regarding the distribution and extent of calcification in patients with aortic ste­nosis aids in choosing an optimal transcatheter aor­tic valve technology. In this case, it was decided to use a self-expanding transcatheter valve technology instead of using a balloon expandable transcatheter to minimize the risk of disruption of the aortic annu­lus due to the calcification pattern seen on CT.

12.9 Case 12.9
12.9.1 History
A 67-year-old male presents with new onset chest discomfort.
12.9.2 Findings
Coronary angiography demonstrated a saphe­nous vein graft pseudoaneurysm.
Coronary CTA defined the dimensions of the pseudoaneurysm that developed from the proxi­mal segment a saphenous vein bypass conduit (Fig. 12.9b).
12.9.3 Diagnosis
Expanding saphenous vein graft pseudoaneu­rysm (Fig. 12.9c).
12.9.4 Discussion
Invasive angiography demonstrated the exis­tence of a saphenous vein graft pseudoaneu­rysm, but did not define well the expansion that had occurred over the 2-year interval between the invasive angiograms. Invasive angiography is limited in its nature to define a pseudoaneu­rysm as it provides a “luminogram” of the lesion. Lesions such as this saphenous vein graft pseudoaneurysm benefit from imaging using CCTA to better determine their true size and interval changes that may cause symptoms and require invasive therapy. Coronary CTA was also performed and clearly demonstrated the expansion of the saphenous vein graft pseu­doaneurysm that had occurred in the 2-year interval (Fig. 12.9a, b). This patients pseudoan­eurysm was subsequently treated percutane­ously (Fig. 12.9d).
