Abstract

Indicator dilution techniques are used in the quantitative analysis of angiograms for time and flow measurements. In digital angiography the temporal changes of brightness are examined for each picture element. Certain functional parameters are evaluated and assembled in "parametric images". Flow distribution measurements are performed on the basis of two parametric images: A time parameter is used to define vascular segments that are passed by the blood flow in preselected time intervals. The depth parameter image provides for computation of the volume of each segment, which is used as the basis for regional blood flow calculation. Five time parameters and two depth parameters are described, differently suitable in various fields of application.

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.
