Real-time interactive simulator for percutaneous coronary revascularization procedures.
This article describes the simulation of real-time catheter navigation in our interactive interventional cardiology simulation system (ICard). ICard is designed to enable medical students or physicians to familiarize themselves with the techniques of interventional catheterization procedures. The ICard software provides three-dimensional (3-D) views of the blood vessels and fluoroscopic images ...
متن کاملDepression predicts revascularization procedures for 5 years after coronary angiography.
OBJECTIVE Depression has been reported to increase cardiac event rates and functional impairment in patients with coronary disease. This article describes the impact of depression on subsequent healthcare utilization for such patients. METHODS One hundred ninety-eight health maintenance organization patients with stable coronary disease were interviewed after elective angiography using a stru...
متن کاملUnderuse of coronary revascularization procedures in patients considered appropriate candidates for revascularization.
BACKGROUND Ratings by an expert panel of the appropriateness of treatments may offer better guidance for clinical practice than the variable decisions of individual clinicians, yet there have been no prospective studies of clinical outcomes. We compared the clinical outcomes of patients treated medically after angiography with those of patients who underwent revascularization, within groups def...
متن کاملcurrent applications of coronary and cardiac multidetector computed tomography
cardiovascular disease remains the principal cause of death in the modernized world. several novel noninvasive imaging techniques have been recently developed to improve diagnosis of cardiac and coronary disease. of these advances, multidetector computed tomographic (mdct) angiography has evolved most dramatically to transform computed tomography from a single-slice trans-axial modality to ...

Introduction: Multiple coronary artery aneurysm is a rare anomaly which could be congenital or acquired. Its complications including sudden cardiac death, clot and distal emboli, rupture and bleeding or fistula. Decision about its management depends on aneurysm conditions and the Patient's clinical situation Case Report: A 55 years old patient with unstable angina and multiple coronary ar...
