Spinal imaging.

Abstract

The application of magnetic resonance imaging has changed the evaluation of most disorders of the spinal axis. Contrast agents improve lesion conspicuousness and new sequences decrease both imaging time and artifacts. Myelography, computed tomography, and angiography continue to have well-defined, albeit limited, roles in spinal imaging.

Successful occlusion of a coronary arteriovenous fistula using an Amplatzer duct occluder.

In an 11-year old boy with a large coronary arteriovenous fistula between the left coronary artery and the right atrium, we achieved successful closure using a 10-8 Amplatzer Duct Occluder introduced from the right internal jugular vein. Angiography 6 weeks later showed complete occlusion of the fistula, with normal opacification of the left coronary arterial system. This technique may be used as an alternative to coils and surgery in selected patients.
