Angiography for Peripheral Vascular Intervention
نویسنده
چکیده
The use of endovascular technique for peripheral vascular disease (PVD) has evolved and new devices and techniques were being developed. Even after recent development of noninvasive diagnosis of PVD, angiography is still the gold standard for the evaluation of stenotic and occluded lesions. Without precise angiographic information, endovascular therapy can not be performed. In this chapter, the angiographic technique to visualize major arteries of atherosclerotic disease is described.

Effect of Heparin Administration during Coronary Angiography on Vascular or Peripheral Complications: A Single-Blind Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial
Background: Coronary angiography consists of the selective injection of contrast agents in coronary arteries. Optimal strategy for heparin administration during coronary angiography has yet to be determined. We assessed the effect of heparin administration during coronary angiography on vascular, hemorrhagic, and ischemic complications.Methods: Five hundred candiates for diagnostic coronary ang...

INTRODUCTION The gold standard for evaluation of the lower extremity arterial tree is catheter angiography. Duplex arterial-occlusive imaging or duplex ultrasonography arteriography, a noninvasive technique, is used as the first-line investigation in patients with peripheral vascular disease at our centre. Based on the results of duplex imaging, patients who require angiographic intervention th...

SETTING credentials for physician qualifications to perform peripheral vascular angioplasty and stent placement has become contentious. Credentialing is the process by which hospitals determine which physicians are both competent and permitted to perform particular procedures. Competency is determined by the physician having performed a sufficient number of training cases with acceptable outcom...
متن کاملFrom the Southern Association for Vascular Surgery Can the Perclose suture-mediated closure system be used safely in patients undergoing diagnostic and therapeutic angiography to treat chronic lower extremity ischemia?
Purpose: Mechanical closure devices for arterial hemostasis after angiography, such as the Perclose suture-mediated closure system, are designed to decrease time to ambulation and improve patient comfort. Although these devices are safe and efficacious, to date there has been little reported about use of the Perclose device in a cohort consisting exclusively of patients with lower extremity per...
