Abstract

Bipolar flow-encoding gradients can be used in a three-dimensional magnetic resonance imaging procedure to provide a noninvasive measure of in vivo blood flow. The resulting volume angiogram is a three-dimensional data matrix which can be retrospectively analyzed and displayed in a variety of ways. This angiographic technique provides good suppression of signals arising from stationary tissue, thereby permitting the visualization of small vessels having relatively slow flow. This suppression is obtained by modulating the amplitude of the flow-encoding gradient pulse to either cancel the stationary tissue signal or displace it relative to the flow signal in the volume image.

Transhepatic vascular access for diagnostic and interventional procedures: techniques, outcome, and complications.

Early or multiple cardiac catheterizations may result in occlusion of the femoral veins prohibiting their use. The internal jugular or sub-clavian approach may be an appropriate alternative. However, these approaches may not be suitable in patients with surgical interruption of the superior vena cava. In other patients, they may not allow easy access to certain areas of the heart. The transhepatic approach is an important alternative route for performing cardiac catheterization and interventions. Depending on the planned procedure, it may be the preferred route to perform the cardiac catheterization even in the presence of patent femoral veins. The indications, technical details and potential complications of this approach are discussed.

Embolization for a bleeding pelvic fracture in a patient with persistent sciatic artery.

Emergency embolization for a bleeding pelvic fracture was performed in a patient with persistent sciatic artery, a rare anatomic variation in which the internal iliac artery continues to the popliteal artery. Successful hemostasis was achieved without complications by means of selective catheterization into each branch of the internal iliac artery. Awareness of this unusual vascular anatomy is critically important to avoid serious complication of emergency embolization.
