[Imaging of aneurysms and dissections of the aorta. Part 1--Aneurysms of the abdominal aorta].

The authors review the main imaging findings of aneurysms and dissections of the aorta. Based on the experience and imaging techniques available in their institution (Conventional Radiology, Sonography and Computed Tomography), they try to make a decision tree of radiologic procedures in ambulatory and emergency patients. Nowadays, in the majority of situations, these techniques allow the Radiologist to make the correct diagnosis, detect the complications and evaluate the patients in the pre and post-surgical phases. Other imaging techniques not available in their institution, such as Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Aortography, will be mentioned in view of their usefulness in some specific situations.

Combined approach to the differential diagnosis of cholestatic jaundice with endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography, percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography, ultrasonography, and liver biopsy.

A prospective study of 33 patients with cholestatic jaundice was performed with combined use of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography (PTC), ultrasonography, and liver biopsy. A higher rate of success with PTC in 25 cases of extrahepatic cholestasis was offset by the better score of ERCP in 8 cases of intrahepatic cholestasis and its wider diagnostic scope. The procedures were complementary in 10 cases. Ultrasonic imaging of intrahepatic bile ducts proved useful for selecting the first cholangiographic technique. Liver biopsy established etiology in intrahepatic cholestasis. Our combined approach allowed us to develop through objective criteria a diagnostic flow chart of cholestasis.
