The incidence and severity of hypoxia associated with 99Tcm Technegas ventilation scintigraphy and 99Tcm MAA perfusion scintigraphy. The British journal of radiology, 1992, Volume: 65, Issue:773 Inhalation of the ventilatory radiopharmaceutical 99Tcm Technegas leads, in some patients, to symptoms that may be attributed to temporary lowering of oxygen saturation. In order to evaluate this, oxygen saturation was measured by pulse oximetry in a series of patients undergoing Technegas ventilation scintigraphy. A decrease in oxygen saturation was recorded in 87% of the patient group. The mean change, as a percentage of the initial value, was 8.3% (range 1-24%). Hypoxia arising in association with Technegas administration may be reduced by pre-oxygenation. In patients who were pre-oxygenated, oxygen saturation did not fall below 85% (PaO2: 50 mmHg) but in 39% of those not pre-oxygenated the value fell below this level. Oxygen saturation was also monitored in a series of patients undergoing perfusion scintigraphy. In 17% of patients a decrease was recorded (range 2-11%). In view of the large number of perfusion scans performed annually in this department and elsewhere without untoward effect, such temporary decreases in oxygen saturation presumably present no hazard to the patient.

Anomalous drainage of the right superior vena cava into the left atrium. Journal of the American College of Cardiology, 1983, Volume: 2, Issue:2 A 22 year old man with asymptomatic hypoxemia was found to have a large right to left shunt due to a rare congenital anomaly: total drainage of the right superior vena cava into the left atrium. The anomaly was first suspected after radionuclide angiocardiography was performed using technetium-99m macroaggregated albumin and was confirmed by cardiac catheterization. Contrast echocardiographic and surgical findings are discussed. Other reports on this anomaly are reviewed.

Anomalous drainage of the right superior vena cava into the left atrium.

Journal of the American College of Cardiology, 1983, Volume: 2, Issue:2

A 22 year old man with asymptomatic hypoxemia was found to have a large right to left shunt due to a rare congenital anomaly: total drainage of the right superior vena cava into the left atrium. The anomaly was first suspected after radionuclide angiocardiography was performed using technetium-99m macroaggregated albumin and was confirmed by cardiac catheterization. Contrast echocardiographic and surgical findings are discussed. Other reports on this anomaly are reviewed.
