AIM To validate the feasibility of high resolution computed tomography(HRCT) of the lung prior to computed tomography angiography(CTA) in assessing incidental thoracic findings during endovascular aortic aneurysm repair(EVAR) planning or follow-up.METHODS We conducted a retrospective study among 181 patients(143 men, mean age 71 years, range 50-94) referred to our centre for CTA EVAR planning or followup. HRCT and CTA were performed before or after 1 or 12 mo respectively to EVAR in all patients. All HRCT examinations were reviewed by two radiologists with 15 and 8 years experience in thoracic imaging. The results were compared with histology, bronchoscopy or follow-up HRCT in 12, 8 and 82 nodules respectively. RESULTS There were a total of 102 suspected nodules in 92 HRCT examinations, with a mean of 1.79 nodules per patient and an average diameter of 9.2 mm(range 4-56 mm). Eightynine out of 181 HRCTs resulted negative for the presence of suspected nodules with a mean smoking history of 10 pack-years(p-y, range 5-18 p-y). Eighty-two out of 102(76.4%) of the nodules met criteria for computed tomography follow-up, to exclude the malignant evolution. Of the remaining 20 nodules, 10 out of 20(50%) nodules, suspected for malignancy, underwent biopsy and then surgical intervention that confirmed the neoplastic nature: 4(20%) adenocarcinomas, 4(20%) squamous cell carcinomas, 1(5%) small cell lung cancer and 1(5%) breast cancer metastasis); 8 out of 20(40%) underwent bronchoscopy(8 pneumonia) and 2 out of 20(10%) underwent biopsy with the diagnosis of sarcoidosis.CONCLUSION HRCT in EVAR planning and follow-up allows to correctly identify patients requiring additional treatments, especially in case of lung cancer. 展开更多
