Multi-slice 320 CT study of the aorto-iliac arteries with contrast shows large thoraco-abdominal aneurysm starting at the descending thoracic aorta; best noted in D and E images which show aneurysmal dilatation measuring 4.5cm with small intra-mural thrombus 7.5cm with large infra-renal aneurysmal dilatation measuring 9cm associated with large circumferential intra-mural thrombus measuring 3cm; best delineated in images A and B and mild atherosclerotic plaques seen in 3D reconstruction (maximum intensity projection) in C image.

... Whilst echocardiography retains its indispensable role, computed tomography angiography (CTA) has emerged as the paragon in the diagnostic armamentarium for AD, courtesy of its exalted sensitivity and specificity. CTA, by virtue of its expeditious acquisition and meticulous anatomical elucidation, serves as a vanguard in guiding both surgical and endovascular interventions [26]. Magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) proffer viable alternatives to CTA, particularly advantageous in cohorts evincing contraindications to iodinated contrast or renal insufficiency. ...

Objective: The study was conducted with the aim to estimate the frequency of abnormal lipid distribution in patients with coronary artery disease. Study design: cross sectional, comparative study Place and duration: This study was conducted at Rawal Institute of Health Sciences, Pakistan and Rashid Latif Medical College Lahore in the period from April, 2022 to September, 2022. Methodology: A total of one hundred and thirty two participants of both genders were selected as the study population on obeying the inclusion and exclusion criteria of the study. Participants were distributed in the two comparable groups with 92 CHD patients in case group and 40 healthy people in control group. An informed written consent was signed by all the participants to record patients detailed demographics age, sex and body mass index. Blood sample was taken from each participant to analyze the lipid profile. Frequency of lipid profile (cholesterol, triglycerides, HDL-C, LDL-C and VLDL) were measured using commercially available kits. The entire data was analyzed via SPSS 24.0. Results: Among the total participants, the majority were males (75.8%) while females were (24.2%). Most of the participants were aged > 60 (36.4%), while participants had BMI >25kg/m2 were (56.8%). Majority of the participants were married (64.4%). In the case group, mean TC(>200mg/dl) was 263.91± 23.73, mean TG(>150mg/dl) was 210.71± 42.17, mean HDLc(<40mg/dl) was 47.44±5.91 and mean LDLc(>130mg/dl) was 99.88±20.73 respectively. Case group with CAD showed the majority of males (70.65%) while 29.35% were females. Conclusion: In the given study, it was found that the frequency of abnormal lipid profile (TC, TG, HDL-C and LDL-C) concentrations were considerably higher in the patients with coronary artery disease. Total cholesterol and serum triglyceride were significantly higher than LDL-C and HDL-C. Moreover, males were more likely to had lipid profile abnormalities than females.

... An Egyptian study also demonstrated that elevated plasma cholesterol levels increased the incidence of CHD. The Framingham study clearly demonstrated the association of elevated cholesterol with CHD [21]. Among male participants of the Case Group 44.29%, 35.71%, and the rest 20% were from 51 -60, 41 -50, and >60 years' age group respectively. ...
