Cardiac catheterization involves insertion of fine-bore tubes (catheters) into the heart through cannulae inserted into a peripheral artery or vein. Procedures are commonly performed via the femoral vessels, although the radial artery approach has the best safety record and is now the preferred ...
Cardiac catheterization may also be performed on patients presenting to the emergency department with chest pain or chest injuries. The procedure may be performed on an outpatient basis, depending on the patient's pre- and post-catheterization condition. As of 2000, however, the American Heart ...
SUPPORTING PATIENT ACCESS TO CARDIAC CATHETERIZATION, INTERVENTIONS AND SURGERY: DEVELOPMENT OF A CLINICAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE PROVINCIAL WAIT LIST MANAGEMENT TOOLdoi:10.1016/j.cjca.2015.07.709Polderman, J.Lauck, S.Ding, L.Wu, S.Louis, T.Elsevier Inc....
We present such a patient who had a cardiac arrest while receiving dexmedetomidine during cardiac catheterization. Because acute cellular rejection of the cardiac conduction system is difficult to diagnose, dexmedetomidine should be used with caution in pediatric heart transplant patients. 展开 ...
This study seeks to assess the readability of patient education materials on cardiac catheterization across four of the most common chatbots: ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, Google Gemini, and Meta AI. Methodology: A set of 10 questions regarding cardiac catheterization was developed using website-based...
Cardiac catheterization is performed for both therapeutic and diagnostic reasons. Like any invasive procedure, cardiac catheterization is associated with complications, so the decision to undertake the procedure should be based on the risks and benefits.
After experiencing chest pressure while exercising, a 72-year-old patient tested positive in both a stress test and nuclear medicine study, triggering a left heart catheterization that revealed a high grade lesion of the proximal left anterior descending coronary artery. His cardiologist determined the...
CCTA followed by selective catheterization was associated with a 78% reduction (p<0.001) in per-patient testing, which included the index evaluation plus downstream costs, when compared with direct catheterization. Revascularization rates were 41% lower (p<0.001) in the selective catheterization arm,...
Remarkable progress has been made in the development of new therapies for cancer, dramatically changing the landscape of treatment approaches for several malignancies and continuing to increase patient survival. Accordingly, adverse effects of cancer the
Clinically, the patient showed left-sided pleural effusion, jugular venous distension, and a congested liver. During cardiologic work-up, echocardiography, combined left/right heart catheterization and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) established the diagnosis of constrictive pericarditis. Under conservative...
