Angiography

As it was defined in Oxford Concise Medical Dictionary, phlebothrombosis is “an obstruction of a vein by a blood clot, without preceding inflammation of its wall. It is most common within the deep veins of the calf of the leg - deep vein thrombosis (DVT) - in contrast to thrombophlebitis, which affects superficial leg veins. Prolonged immobility, heart failure, pregnancy, injury, and surgery predispose to thrombosis by encouraging sluggish blood flow. Many of these conditions are associated with

images during pull back of the US catheter. The pull back could be done either manually or mechanically using a motor. 3-D images are useful in assessment of endovascular device deployment failures, which might not be detected in conventional angiographies. 3-D images are also helpful in sizing of the arteries and veins for endovascular device planning (Weissman et al., 1995; Heuser et al., 1997). IVUS can provide B mode and colour images from inside the vessels. The transducers’ frequencies are

Mycotic aneurysm is a focal dilation of an infected arterial wall. This uncommon disease follows an aggressive and unpredictable clinical course with significant mortality, and presents unique diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. This review discusses the pathogenesis, diagnosis, and therapeutic management of mycotic aneurysms. Historical Perspective Virchow first described a saccular outpoutching along an arterial wall corresponding to an embolic source in 1847 [1]. Mycotic aneurysms were

arteries while injecting contrast into them and watching it highlight and show if there is any blockages or problems in the vessels. With angiography, it is the primarily used for looking at the circulatory system. CT shows a three dimensional cross section of the vessels to give the radiologist a better visualization. CT out rules traditional angiography where one can know if the patient needs stent placement in the vein or artery. MRI is a powerful vascular imaging modality with interventional

TAVI has been successful implanted in a 57 year old patient who couldn’t be operated in a traditional methods of heart valve replacements [1].TAVI is a minimal invasive procedure to deliver tissue heart valves using image guidance procedures like angiography, without the need of open heart surgery. TAVI helps patients who are weak to perform an open heart surgery on and often on elderly patients [9]. These valves have three main components (i) A Tissue valve, (ii) Support Stent (iii) Delivery System

Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is an emergency treatment option for a patient experiencing MI. PCI can be performed within 90 minutes of arriving to the hospital. “Emergency diagnostic coronary angiography should be performed to identify blocked coronary artery before PCI” (Urden et al., 2014, p. 365). Reperfusion drugs refer to the fibrinolytic therapy that will facilitate reperfusion in emergency situation to open up the artery and decreases the myocardial oxygen demand. There is criteria

Subarachnoid Hemorrhage Subarachnoid Hemorrhage (SAH) is bleeding of the brain within the subarachnoid space, which is the area between the brain and the tissues that cover the brain, where the cerebrospinal fluid neck circulates. The subarachnoid space it is responsible for protecting your brain from serious injuries by serving as a cushion. SAH is considered a medical emergency and is most commonly associated with brain aneurysms but can also be caused by sever head trauma such a fall resulting

Cardiovascular Interventions, Doctors Madan, Halvorsen, Di Mario, Tan, Westerhout, Cantor, Le May, and Borgia explored whether patients experienced greater risk of undergoing angiography after the administration of fibrinolytic therapy. They concluded that there was not a serious risk of bleeding or death if they receive angiography within four hours of undergoing fibrinolytic therapy (Madan et al., 2015). They also suggest that the patient be moved a center that can perform PCI within 2 hours after fibrinolysis

Literature Review Draft Atherosclerosis is characterised by gradual decrease in the luminal diameter of large arteries, it has major health implications and contributes to around 50% of all deaths within westernized countries (7). Patients can undergo coronary artery stenting to prolong the effects of this. Treatments for this have undergone major developments over the past 40 years, including balloon angioplasty in 1977, development of bare-metal stents (BMS) in the 1980’s, introduction of drug-eluting
