Abstract

The experience obtained from the study of 151 normal pulmonary angiograms is presented. It was found, that is possible to identify most if not all the segmental arteries in the anteroposterior view, but the lateral view let identify the segmental arteries that arise perpendicular to the frontalplane. The role of the byplane pulmonary angiography in order to identify the segmental pulmonary arteries is emphasized. Must of the normal variation patterns of the segmental pulmonary arteries were found and only two differents patterns were seen, type IV in the right upper lobe and probably type II for the left lower lobe. It was also found that the arterial patterns of the middle lobe and right lower lobe were observed in different percentages that would be expected.

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.
