Right heart catheterization and other venous cardiovascular procedures from the arm
نویسنده
چکیده
2014 Right heart catheterization using peripheral venous access is an approach initially used by pioneers of cardiovascular exploration, but subsequently almost forgotten with the popularization of direct puncture techniques of central veins for diagnostic, monitoring and therapeutic needs. Improved equipment and the recognition of the complications of direct central (femoral) artery puncture resulted in the development of transradial techniques and, subsequently, invasive peripheral venous techniques for right heart catheterization. Case series and comparisons have been published on these newer peripheral venous techniques and the results have been very favorable in support of these newer approaches, although randomized data are not available. Further refinements in equipment and techniques offer the potential for further growth in invasive peripheral venous access.

B-type natriuretic peptide and its precursor in cardiac venous blood from failing hearts.
BACKGROUND Plasma concentrations of B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP-32) and its precursor (proBNP) are increased in chronic heart failure. Accordingly, BNP-32 and proBNP are both being implemented as clinical markers. AIM To determine the molar relation of BNP-32 and proBNP in different cardiovascular regions. METHODS AND RESULTS Blood samples were obtained from different cardiovascular reg...
متن کاملFunctional and circulatory renal changes in advanced heart failure.
OBJECTIVES The aim of the study was to describe the relations between heart and renal functions and to investigate whether reduced glomerular filtration rate is influenced more by reduced perfusion or venous congestion. METHODS A prospective cohort study of 101 patients (69 men, 32 women) with chronic heart failure aged 52 (49-54) (median, 95 % confidence interval) years. We analyzed the bloo...
متن کاملThe continuous recording of central venous pressure changes from an arm vein.
With the subject in the right lateral decubitus position, changes of central venous pressure can be recorded accurately and conveniently from a vein in the antecubital fossa of the dependent arm. Theoretically the hydrostatic pressure transforms the venous bed between the heart and the site of puncture into uninterrupted wide channels with relatively low distensibility. Simultaneous recordings ...

Partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection (PAPVC) encompasses a group of cardiovascular anomalies that are caused by the abnormal return of one or more of the pulmonary veins directly to the right atrium or indirectly through a variety of venous connections from the anomalous pulmonary veins.1,2 We present the case of a 51-year-old man, a former smoker, with a history of hypertension, diabe...
