Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Since the perioperative mortality of coronary artery bypass surgery is high in patients with cerebrovascular disease, it is crucial to assess a cerebrovascular risk before operation. Acetazolamide (ACZ) was applied to brain SPECT to evaluate the vascular reserve, and ACZ stress brain imaging was useful for predicting perioperative cerebrovascular events. We performed 201Tl myocardial and 99mTc-hexamethyl-propyleneamine oxime (HMPAO) brain SPECT with ACZ stress simultaneously to a patient with severe coronary artery disease and experienced the abnormality of 201Tl myocardial imaging with ACZ, as did that with dipyridamole. Technetium-99m-HMPAO brain SPECT showed no defect. Brain SPECT with ACZ demonstrated the region of poor coronary vascular reserve, which suggested myocardial ischemia induced by ACZ in a patient with severe coronary artery disease.
