Procedural Techniques of Coronary Angiography
نویسنده
چکیده
Coronary angiography is an invasive diagnostic procedure in which radiocontrast is injected into the coronary arteries under X-ray guidance in order to display the coronary anatomy and possible luminal obstruction. Despite the advances in other diagnostic methods, it remains to be "the golden standard" of coronary disease diagnostics. Although today the complication rate is far lower than previously, the possibility of complication still exists, and an invasive cardiologist must be able to complete the procedure flawlessly, and to competently deal with complications, should they occur. In order to be able to do that, he/she must master the proper techniques in performing the coronary angiography procedure, and be comfortable with all the available access-sites.

متن کاملOCT Improves Post-PCI Outcome Compared to Angiography
Angiography is the established imaging technique routinely used during PCI. However, intravascular imaging techniques offer a better evaluation of the characteristics of lesions than angiography and thus help ensure an optimal post-procedural outcome. More specifically, OCT has been shown to identify plaque morphologies associated with poorer prognosis. However, there are no randomised studies ...

Chronic total coronary occlusions (CTO) are documented in approximately one fifth of diagnostic invasive coronary angiographies (ICA). Percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) of CTO are challenging and are accompanied by higher complication and lower success rates in comparison with non-CTO PCI. Scrutinous evaluation of ischemia and viability to justify percutaneous revascularization is there...
متن کاملThe Relationship Between Hip and Knee Flexibility and Post-Coronary Angiography Pain
Purpose: Coronary angiography can cause post-procedural pain, and limited flexibility in the hips and knees may contribute to this discomfort. Patients with restricted hip and knee flexibility may experience increased stress. This study was designed to assess the flexibility of the hip and knee and its relationship with pain experienced after femoral angiography. Methods: This cross-sectional ...
