متن کاملAutomated Axial Right Ventricle to Left Ventricle Diameter Ratio Computation in Computed Tomography Pulmonary Angiography
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Right Ventricular to Left Ventricular (RV/LV) diameter ratio has been shown to be a prognostic biomarker for patients suffering from acute Pulmonary Embolism (PE). While Computed Tomography Pulmonary Angiography (CTPA) images used to confirm a clinical suspicion of PE do include information of the heart, a numerical RV/LV diameter ratio is not universally reported, likely...
متن کاملAnatomical advantage to percutaneous insertion of the intra-aortic balloon through the left brachial artery over the right brachial artery.
Off-label use of the intra-aortic balloon (IAB) is not recommended in ideal situations and certainly not a Food and Drug Administration-approved activity. The instruction-for-use manual for the IAB recommends percutaneous insertion. However, there are certain extreme situations where "thinking outside the box" appears necessary. We have successfully inserted a transthoracic IAB (TIAB) in the op...
