CLINICAL PROGRESS Diagnostic Value of Translumbar Aortography
نویسنده
چکیده
A historical review of aortography is made that substantiates its present status as a diagnostic tool, particularly in angiology and urology. The technic, premedication, and anesthesia are discussed in detail. The hazards of the procedure and their prevention are reviewed. The reactions to contrast media are enumerated. Aortography plays a selected but important role in the evaluation of aortic aneurysms, arterial occlusion, and stenosis of major vessels. Its value in the diagnosis of abdominal abnormalities is less encouraging. Numerous urologic disorders are discussed in their relationship to angiographic study.

Hazard of Retrograde Aortography in Dissecting
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 t...

متن کاملChylothorax after high translumbar aortography.
Two patients who had high translumbar aortograms for suspected arterial disease developed shortness of breath 48 hours after aortography and were found to have chylothoraces. Conservative management was initially adopted for both, but surgery had to be resorted to, although the first patient died before arriving in the operating theatre. The literature and the management of this condition are r...
متن کاملRenal Angiography in Urology
Percutaneous transfemoral catheterization is a first choice for renal angiography in urology. A modification of procedure for safe and reliable arterial puncture was described. Damages to arterial wall were avoided using a modified catheterization technique with a catheter fitted to thin guide wire. There were no serious complications by contrast medium in this series. Various angiograms of ren...
متن کاملEndovascular Treatment for Erectile Dysfunction
In 1962, the science historian Thomas Samuel Kuhn described a paradigm as not just current scientific theory, but rather the entire world view that encompassed this knowledge (1). Scientific progress is made when there are anomalies that cannot be explained in one paradigm, leading to a paradigm shift. In some cases, old paradigms are revisited, synergistic with rapid advances in scientific kno...
