Cardiac MRI - August 1, 2014

Cardiac MRI

IT'S A BOY!! Actually, it's my heart :) I got my cardiac MRI done last night. Had to be forcibly squeezed into the MRI machine, and stayed stuck in there for about an hour as they blasted magnetic radiation through my jolly body :) 

Odd feeling throughout the entire process...there were something on both sides of my hips when I was in the MRI machine that gave me a shock and made my hips and thighs tingle every time they took a scan. They took 1,499 scans, so I was a bit buzzed when it was all over. I think I now know how Magneto from X-Men feels, LOL.

1,499 images total; 25 images per second = 59 second video. Enjoy!

MICROSOCOPIC DESCRIPTION:

1. The section show skin with an extensive vascular lesion involving all levels of the dermis and subcutis. The lesion consists of vascular spaces of variable diameter, most of which have thin walls. The vascular spaces are separated by sclerotic stroma throughout much of the specimen. There is no significant cytologic atypia of the vascular endothelial cells, and papillary structures are not identified. The lesion extends to the margins of the specimen.

DIAGNOSIS:

1. HEMANGIOMA WITH EXTENSIVE INVOLVEMENT OF THE DERMIS AND SUBCUTIS, SEE NOTE. (T-01000; T-02800; M-91200)  ICD9-V72.6  AND 216.90

NOTE: 

THE PREVIOUS BIOPSY (D91-4031), WAS REVIEWED. THAT SPECIMEN ALSO REPRESENTS A HEMANGIOMA WITH EXTENSIVE INVOLVEMENT OF THE PAPILLARY AND UPPER RETICULAR DERMIS. IF THIS LESION INVOLVES THE UNDERLYING SKELETAL MUSCLE OF BONE IT MAY REPRESENT A DIFFUSE HEMANGIOMA (ANGIOMATOSIS). CLINICAL-PATHOLOGIC CORRELATION IS NECESSARY.

LEFT LOWER EXTREMITY ARTERIOGRAM AND LEFT LOWER EXTREMITY VENOGRAM - 5/24/95.


Clinical history: 19 year old Asian male with left lower thigh and upper leg medial soft tissue hemangiomas which are painful and crusting. For arteriogram and possible embolization.

Procedure:

The right groin was prepped and draped in standard sterile fashion.  Local anesthesia was obtained with Lidocaine.  Using standard aseptic technique, the right common femoral artery was cannulated.  Using Seldinger technique, a catheter was advanced over a wire and selectively placed in the left common liliac artery.  Standard left lower extremity arteriogram was performed.

Then, a 20 gauge angiocath was placed in the left foot.  Under fluoroscopic guidance, contrast was injected and multiple venogram images obtained.

Findings:

Left lower extremity arteriogram demonstrates normal anatomy and appearance of the common femoral artery, superficial femoral artery, profunda femoris artery, politeal artery, and politeal trifucation.  The known medical soft tissue hemangiomas were not identified as vascular structures on the arteriogram.  Specifically, no major arterial feeders could be identified.  Therefore, embolization could not be performed.

Left lower extremity venogram demonstrates no evidence of venous thrombus.  Venogram is unremarkable with the exception of a partially duplicated superficial femoral vein.  No venous connection to the known soft tissue hemangiomas was identified.

Unremarkable left lower extremity arteriogram and venogram.  The known soft tissue hemangiomas demonstrated no major arterial or venous connections.
