title: [Tomographic myocardial perfusion (SPECT) using 99mTc sestamibi-dipyridamole and 2-d-echocardiography with amrinone pre and post myocardial revascularization in 2 cases].
abstract: We report two male patients aged 50 and 55 years old with coronary artery disease who were treated with surgical revascularization and angioplasty respectively. To assess viable and ischemic myocardial territories, they were studied before and after revascularization with radionuclide perfusion SPECT with Tc99m-Sestamibi under Dipyridamole and with 2-D echocardiography at baseline and after the use of amrinone. Improvement in relative perfusion on SPECT and wall motion on 2-D echocardiography indicated tissue recovery.
