Coronary Arteriography by the Single Catheter
نویسندگان
چکیده
A new percutaneous femoral method for studying the coronary arteries, left ventricle and saphenous vein bypass grafts using a single catheter has been developed. A #8 French 100 cm polyurethane catheter with wire incorporated and a 450 curved tip has been used in 6,800 patients. This technique combines the speed and simplicity of the percutaneous femoral approach with the safety of the single catheter technique by eliminating multiple catheter and guidewire changes. Manipulation techniques for selective right and left coronary artery and saphenous vein bypass graft injections as well as for left ventriculography are described. In only 10% of the cases has it been necessary to change to a second catheter, and catheterization time has averaged less than 15 minutes. Complications have been infrequent: femoral thrombosis 0.3%, hematoma 0.2%, myocardial infarction 0.04%, cerebrovascular accident 0.03% and death 0.07%. The speed of the technique and the elimination of multiple catheter changes seem to have contributed to the low complication rate.

Successful catheter interventional therapy for acute coronary syndrome secondary to kawasaki disease in young adults.
Acute coronary syndrome occurred in 2 young adults who had a history of Kawasaki disease (KD), but few other coronary risk factors. The first patient was a 27-year-old male with acute myocardial infarction without stenosis detected by coronary arteriography 4 years earlier. Emergency coronary arteriography showed occlusion of the right coronary artery. Aspiration-thrombectomy and rescue balloon...

Selective coronary arteriography is now the procedure of choice in the determination of the existence and the delineation of the extent of chronic obstructive coronary artery disease. Since Sones and Shirey's original description of this technique, variations in the procedure and the approach have evolved. More recently, the percutaneous transfemoral artery approach to selective coronary arteri...

متن کاملScanning electron microscopy of surface irregularities and thrombogenesis of polyurethane and polyethylene coronary catheters.
Following routine coronary arteriography, surface irregularities and thrombogenesis of the inner and outer wall of six Ducor polyurethane and six RPX polyethylene coronary catheters were studied by scanning electron microscopy. Polyurethane catheters had rough and highly irregular external and internal surfaces. All catheters showed adherent thrombi on their external surface. The internal surf...
