Mycotic Aneurysm Imaging

(A) Axial slice of fused positron emission tomography and CT scan. Abnormal uptake at the end of the LAD coronary representing the mycotic aneurysm is present (yellow arrow). Additional uptake of the left ventricular lateral wall and at the sternum are present. (B-E) Cardiac CT angiography (Siemens SOMATOM Force) with prospective electrocardiographic-gating and intravenous contrast (iopamidol 370) in arterial phase. The yellow arrow indicates a 3D volume rendering and 2D of the (B) LAD, (C and D) right coronary artery, and (E) left main mycotic aneurysms. (F and G) The red arrow indicates the fistula to the LV and the blue arrow, the fistula to the RV (see Video 2). 2D = 2-dimensional; 3D = 3-dimensional; CT = computed tomography; other abbreviations as in Figure 1.
