Recent advances in pediatric interventional cardiology
During the last 10 years, there have been major technological achievements in pediatric interventional cardiology. In addition, there have been several advances in cardiac imaging, especially in 3-dimensional imaging of echocardiography, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, and cineangiography. Therefore, more types of congenital heart diseases can be treated in the cardiac catheter...
متن کاملPatient radiation doses in paediatric interventional cardiology procedures: a review.
A large number of investigations into the radiation doses from x-ray guided interventional cardiology procedures in children have been carried out in recent years. A review was conducted of these studies, gathering data on kerma area product (P KA), fluoroscopic screening time (FT), air kerma, and estimates of effective dose and organ doses. The majority of studies focus on P KA and FT with no ...
متن کاملContemporary Reviews in Interventional Cardiology Advances in Intravascular Imaging
This review updates the role of various intravascular imaging techniques (1) in the detection of vulnerable plaque and (2) during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), especially drug-eluting stent (DES) implantation and follow-up—including intravascular ultrasound (IVUS), virtual histology (VH-IVUS) and integrated backscatter (IBIVUS), optical coherent tomography (OCT), near-infrared (NIR)...
متن کاملAdvances in Interventional Cardiology New Directions in Antiplatelet Therapy
Atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory process that is known to be the underlying cause of coronary artery disease (CAD).1 In addition to being the first step of primary hemostasis, platelets play a pivotal role in the thrombotic process that follows rupture, fissure, or erosion of an atherosclerotic plaque.2 Because atherothrombotic events are essentially platelet-driven processes, this und...
متن کاملRadiation dose and image quality for paediatric interventional cardiology.
Radiation dose and image quality for paediatric protocols in a biplane x-ray system used for interventional cardiology have been evaluated. Entrance surface air kerma (ESAK) and image quality using a test object and polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) phantoms have been measured for the typical paediatric patient thicknesses (4-20 cm of PMMA). Images from fluoroscopy (low, medium and high) and cine ...
