Background Stress cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging has become a promising non-invasive technique that is being increasingly used to evaluate acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients. Specifically, lowand intermediate-risk ACS patients require non-invasive imaging for risk stratification, unlike high-risk ACS patients whom may receive invasive coronary angiography (ICA) directly. This stud...

Nowadays, many vascular territories are explored non-invasively for the purpose of diagnosis, therapy planning and surveillance of vascular disease. Invasive catheter angiography is almost exclusively being used during therapy and intervention. However, the benefits of invasive approaches include the ability to visualize dynamics of applied dye and may therefore provide additional information o...

Rev Esp Cardiol. 2005;58(11):1253-7 1253 Multi-Slice Computed Tomography (MSCT) coronary angiography is emerging as a non-invasive clinically reliable diagnostic tool to detect significant (luminal diameter > 50%) coronary stenosis. The diagnostic accuracy of MSCT is high, but at this point in time, MSCT coronary angiography should be regarded mainly as a research tool and in selected patients ...

Multi-Slice Computed Tomography (MSCT) coronary angiography is emerging as a non-invasive clinically reliable diagnostic tool to detect significant (luminal diameter > 50%) coronary stenosis. The diagnostic accuracy of MSCT is high, but at this point in time, MSCT coronary angiography should be regarded mainly as a research tool and in selected patients MSCT coronary angiography may be an alter...

The dominant paradigm in the diagnosis of patients with stable coronary artery disease was identification obstructive lesions arteries, and then - ensuring possibility myocardial revascularization. diagnostic algorithms used until recently led to fact that invasive angiography changes arteries were detected less than half cases. In 2019 European Guidelines for Diagnosis Chronic Coronary Syndrom...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the accuracy and cost-efficacy of the diagnostic procedure and treatment for renovascular hypertension. SETTING AND PATIENTS A total of 519 patients referred to the university clinic for hypertension were screened for renovascular hypertension with 405 captopril challenge tests (CCT) and 450 captopril renographies (CRG). INTERVENTIONS Abdominal angiography was performe...

Background: Catheter entrapment and knotting are two problems that might arise during coronary angiography, regardless of the method used. It is not uncommon for catheter shaft to become kinked diagnostic or interventional procedures. Still, if manipulation fails, an invasive retrieval usually necessary cases with extensive kinking. Case Illustration: We present illustrating how different angio...
