CT angiography for suspected aortoiliac occlusive disease (or Leriche syndrome)
Abstract
Introduction. Leriche syndrome was defined in 1940 by René Leriche as an aortoiliac occlusive disease. Its importance lies in it occupying second place in the incidence of occlusive arterial diseases, after superficial femoral artery disease. Objective. Present the clinical case of a patient with Leriche syndrome whose diagnosis of thrombosis was confirmed by a computed tomography angiography with its respective 3D reconstruction. Additionally, the reader is given information about the pathology through a brief summary of the literature. Clinical case. Male patient with acute clinical symptoms of aortoiliac occlusive disease or Leriche syndrome in one limb. The respective computer-assisted image processing (three-dimensional reconstruction) is carried out, which shows the pathology, despite the Doppler ultrasound not initially establishing thrombosis. Discussion. Non-invasive techniques are used in procedures for occlusive arteries, such as ultrasound and CT angiography. However, the latter is a technique par excellence, above all for thrombosis procedures, as well as the therapeutic approach. Conclusions. CT angiography is a non-invasive technique with high sensitivity and specificity in the detection of aortoiliac stenosis. It has become a great diagnostic tool because of its imagery scope, such as obtaining isovolumic images, which enable the assessment of the entire arterial route in different planes, through the use of contrast media, producing more results than the ultrasound.
