Safety of coronary arteriography.

The mortality and morbidity of coronary arteriography are presented with particular reference to the relative safety of the Sones as compared with the Judkins technique. There were 6 deaths in 400 investigations (i *5%), and all occurred with the3Judkins technique. The morbidity is analysedfor the last 250 investigations; cardiac infarction and serious dysrhythmias were more common with the Jud...

Selective coronary arteriography.

The technique of selective coronary arteriography, as described originally by Sones, was employed in 255 patients. Successful catheterization of both coronary arteries was carried out in 88% of these patients, and in the last 100 examinations both coronary arteries were entered in 95 patients. Selective coronary arteriography is a useful diagnostic tool but is a potentially hazardous form of ex...

Clinical Applications of Coronary Arteriography

A NEW diagnostic test such as coronary IAV arteriography must pass through three stages before its ultimate elinical applicability can be determined. During the first stage, the test is used by its developers on a limited group of patients. During the second stage, the test is applied widely as clinical investigators explore possible niew applications. Coronary arteriography is in this second s...

The complications of coronary arteriography.

A nationwide survey was undertaken to determine the rate of complications due to coronary arteriography during 1970-71. The responses from 173 hospitals-including a total of 46,904 coronary arteriograms-were analyzed in relationship to the technique employed and to the number of examinations performed at each hospital during the two-year period. The overall mortality rate was 0.45% (brachial 0....
