Over the last 2 decades, interventional cardiac catheterization techniques have evolved to a point where percutaneous transcatheter devices can be offered as an alternative to their open counterparts to repair certain cardiac defects, particularly in younger patients. All of the devices require transesophag...
Warnings: Cardiac catheterization procedures present the potential for significant x-ray exposure, which can result in acute radiation injury as well as increased risk for somatic and genetic effects, to both patients and laboratory staff due to the x-ray beam intensity and duration of ...
Both were comparable for age, gender, current therapy with aspirin (ASA) and warfarin, diameter of the arterial sheath, previous procedures via the same artery, procedure duration, and blood pressure. Manual compression time was 12 卤 3 minutes. Pneumatic compression was reduced during 60 minutes...

We reviewed the most common drugs used during the last 50 years for this procedure. The advent of new drugs has given better control on the level and duration of sedation with decreased untoward effects. A complete understanding of pathophysiology of the disease as well as the effects of ...
The evolving role of the cardiac catheterization Laboratory in the Management of patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest: a scientific statement from the American Heart Association Circulation., 139 (12) (2019), pp. e530-e552, 10.1161/CIR.0000000000000630 View in ScopusGoogle Scholar [8] D...
To promote standardization of the procedure, the RHC protocol should cover several requirements in different settings: The WHO checklist is a core set of safety checks, which should be carried out for all patients in surgical theatres and catheterization labs [8]. Its steps are summarized in Tabl...
Procedure duration was similar in both groups (mean of 225.5 versus 221.4 mins, inter-quartile range [IQR] 106.5 versus 91.5, p = 0.55), but fluoroscopy duration was shorter in the STSF group (mean of 25.8 versus 30.0, IQR 19.6 versus 18.5, p = 0.03). No complication occurred in the ...
The gold standard for diagnosing coronary artery stenosis is cardiac catheterization. Contrast-enhanced cardiac CT angiography (CTA) involves the use of multi-slice CT and intravenously administered contrast material to obtain detailed images of the blood vessels of the heart. Beta-blockers and ...
