Hazard of Retrograde Aortography in Dissecting
نویسنده
چکیده
AORTOGRAPHY by translumbar, retroIAJL grade femoral injection, and retrograde catheterization, are all now considered moderately safe and efficacious diagnostic procedures. It is our objective to describe a potential hazard in retrograde arterial catheterization for the diagnosis of dissecting aneurysm, that to our knowledge, has not previously been described. Two cases are presented in which the retrograde catheter entered the false lumen of a dissecting aneurysm. Case Reports Case 1

متن کاملRecognition and management of dissecting aneurysms of the aorta.
The current approach to treatment at St. Mary's Hospital of dissecting aortic aneurysms uses a period of induced hypotension before aortography and consideration for surgical correction. There are 13 survivors of a series of 24 patients treated in this way.
متن کاملRetrograde Brachial Aortography
Patent ductus arteriosus and coarctation of the aorta are common causes of congestive heart failure in infancy, yet are more difficult to diagnose than in later life. Retrograde brachial aortography is a relatively simple method of establishing the diagnosis with assurance. A description of the technic is followed by a discussion of the normal aortogram in infancy. A relatively large series of ...

متن کاملComputed tomography: the investigation of choice for aortic dissection?
Computed tomography has become established as complementary to aortography in the investigation of patients with suspected aortic dissection. Two cases of dissecting aneurysm are reported in which extensive aortography failed to show evidence of dissection. In both cases dissection was demonstrated by computed tomography. The diagnosis was confirmed in one case at operation and in the other cas...
