Angiocardiographic Demonstration of Pulmonary Stenosis

Angiocardiographic and physiologic correlations in mitral stenosis.

IT IS well known that the left atrium and pulmonary artery are characteristically enlarged in mitral stenosis.1 2 However, the quantitative relationship of these anatomic abnormalities to the concomitant disturbances in cardiovascular hemodynamics has not been defined. The few anatomic-physiologic studies that are available are semiquantitative, since they are based on rough estimates of left a...

Angiocardiographic findings in pulmonary tuberculosis.

Earlier reports have recorded preliminary angiocardiographic studies in pulmonary tubercubosis.’3 The purpose of this paper is to summarize the angiocardiographic experience in patients with pulmonary, hibar and mediastinab tuberculosis studied over a 14 year period. Knowledge of the status of the vascular supply to the lung affected by tuberculosis is of considerable importance, for the effici...

Angiocardiographic demonstration of occlusive auricular thrombi in dogs.

Simulated occlusive auricular thrombi were produced in six dogs by surgically invaginating the left auricular appendage. Angiocardiographic studies were performed in five of the dogs and in each case revealed these thrombi as clear cut filling defects. The significance and clinical application of these observations is discussed. IN a previous paper' it was postulated that in view of the encoura...

Total anomalous pulmonary venous drainage at cardiac level. Angiocardiographic differentiation.

The diagnosis of bilateral stenosis of the primary pulmonary artery branches based on characteristic pulmonary trunk pressure curves. A hemodynamic and angiocardiographic study.

IN 1938 Oppenheimer1 reported the first case of bilateral stenosis of the pulmonary main arteries diagnosed at autopsy. Since then several papers have been published describing clinical, cardiac catheterization, and angiocardiographic findings in both unilateral and bilateral stenosis of the pulmonary arteries.2-12 We are reporting cardiac catheterization and angiocardiographic findings in 12 p...
