1 Dipyridamole thallium 201 scintigraphy to detect coronary artery disease before abdominal aortic surgery  Bruce S. Cutler, M.D., Jeffrey A. Leppo, M.D.  Journal of Vascular Surgery  Volume 5, Issue 1, Pages (January 1987) DOI: / (87) Copyright © 1987 Society for Vascular Surgery and North American Chapter, International Society for Cardiovascular Surgery Terms and Conditions

2 Fig. 1 Abnormal initial scan shows large area of inferior apical redistribution (white arrows) on delayed images. This scan indicates high risk for postoperative myocardial infarction. LAO = left anterior oblique; ANT = anterior view. Journal of Vascular Surgery 1987 5, DOI: ( / (87) ) Copyright © 1987 Society for Vascular Surgery and North American Chapter, International Society for Cardiovascular Surgery Terms and Conditions

3 Fig. 2 Abnormal scan shows initial defects (black arrows) but no redistribution on delayed images. This scan indicates coronary artery disease but low risk of postoperative myocardial infraction. LAO = left anterior oblique; ANT = anterior view.

4 Fig. 3 Dipyridamole thallium 201 scintigraphy before (top panel) and after (bottom panel) coronary artery bypass surgery shows resolution of ischemic areas (white arrows) but persistence of infarct (black arrows) after coronary revascularization. LAO = left anterior oblique; ANT = anterior view.

5 Fig. 4 Normal scan. There is homogenous myocardial thallium 201 distribution on initial and delayed images. LAO = left anterior oblique; ANT = anterior view.
