Key result
Eight-channel multidetector computed tomography angiography can reduce or eliminate complexities like sedation, breathing artifact, and intravenous contrast administration in young children.
Case Report (n=1)
8-channel multidetector CT angiography offers unique potential to simplify pediatric cardiovascular imaging by reducing the need for sedation and minimizing artifacts.
Unique considerations apply to infant cardiovascular CTA; case leaves open whether 8-channel MDCT routinely reduces sedation and artifacts.
This case report of a possible aortic pseudoaneurysm after coarctectomy in a 12-month-old boy illustrates the unique considerations when performing pediatric cardiovascular CT angiography in young children. With newer (8-channel) multidetector technology, many of the complexities of performing diagnostic angiography, including sedation, breathing artifact, and intravenous contrast material administration, can be reduced or eliminated.

Denecke et al. (2002) conducted a case report in Possible aortic pseudoaneurysm after coarctectomy (n=1). 8-channel multidetector computed tomography angiography was evaluated. Eight-channel multidetector computed tomography angiography can reduce or eliminate complexities like sedation, breathing artifact, and intravenous contrast administration in young children.
