Simultaneous electronic and small format photofluorographic angiography.

Abstract

Monitoring the image on the television screen during photofluorographic angiography is frequently difficult due to the short exposure times. A disk recorder has been integrated with a 100mm rapid-sequence photofluorographic camera for use during selected angiographic procedures. Each flashing image is automatically recorded on the disk recorder and is then immediately replayed during the interval between exposures. It is these considerably longer, although minimally delayed images, that are viewed during the study instead of the short live image. "Panning" to follow the progression of the contrast bolus is facilitated. The recorded angiographic series may be instantly replayed in stop motion for immediate review.

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.
