This case report highlights a striking imaging finding of extensive crescent-shaped pericardial calcification in a patient presenting with angina.
A 65-year-old man presented with symptoms of angina at rest. On evaluation, his ECG showed T wave inversion in the anterior leads. Troponin T was elevated. Echocardiography revealed that the apex and anterior wall of the left ventricle was hypokinetic with normal left ventricular function. Fluoroscopy during the angiogram revealed a stunning image of crescent-shaped extensive pericardial calcification along the right atrium and right ventricle (figure 1, video 1). An extensive crescent-shaped calcification was noted (figure 2, video 2). Extension into the diaphragmatic surface was seen …
