- In the present review, we sought to describe the potential benefit of intracoronary imaging in patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. (em-consulte.com)
Vascular6
- We examined the yield of DSA for the detection of causative vascular lesions in a cohort of patients presenting to our institution with SAH and negative initial noninvasive neurovascular examinations during a 5-year period. (ajnr.org)
- No causative vascular lesions were found in patients with perimesencephalic SAH. (ajnr.org)
- DSA is a valuable tool in the evaluation of patients with diffuse and peripheral sulcal SAH who have negative initial noninvasive neurovascular examinations, demonstrating a causative vascular lesion in 15.2% and 9.1% of patients, respectively. (ajnr.org)
- Now, with the availability of high-resolution DSA and a reliable gas delivery system, CO 2 angiography has become widely used for vascular imaging and endovascular procedures. (medscape.com)
- We, hereby, provide important data highlighting the safety and usefulness of IOA which supports its routine use during surgical treatment of brain vascular abnormalities for improved patient outcome. (cns.org)

Centers3
- 3,561 patients with intermediate (10-60%) pretest probability of obstructive CAD who were referred to angiography centers were randomly assigned to invasive or CT angiography. (the-hospitalist.org)
- Trial centers were given guidelines encouraging patients without obstructive CAD be discharged back to referring providers for further management. (the-hospitalist.org)
- Carotid CT angiography (CTA) is a commonly performed imaging study in stroke centers. (medscape.com)
Stenosis1
- However, an electrocardiogram-based decision to perform immediate coronary angiography could be insufficient to identify unstable coronary lesions, which are frequently associated with intermediate coronary stenosis. (em-consulte.com)
Pediatric patients1

Complication1
- Lee et al retrospectively enrolled 75 patients who had undergone liver transpalantation and found that although MDCT in the late period should be interpreted with caution in patients with suspected biliary complication, MDCT is a reliable diagnostic technique for the identification of early and late abdominal complications after liver transplantation. (medscape.com)
Retrospective1
- Patient consent was not required due to retrospective nature of the study. (medrxiv.org)
Versus1
- The investigators also observed that, compared with controls, patients in the CCTA group were more likely to be discharged from the emergency department (49.6% versus 22.7%) and to have a shorter length of stay (18 hours versus 24.8 hours). (cardiobrief.org)
Median1
- During a median follow-up of 8 years, 4253 patients died. (viamedica.pl)
Study10
- The M.O.R.T.A.L. study of over 30,000 patients showed 50% less blood transfusions for radial patients, and associated that with a significant decrease in mortality. (ptca.org)
- The study group included 1,366 patients who underwent both CT angiography and DSA. (diagnosticimaging.com)
- All adult patients who presented following an OHCA to the Emergency Department of SQUH during the study period were included. (elsevierpure.com)
- Results: A total of 216 patients were included in the study. (elsevierpure.com)
- This real-life registry study shows that restenosis was halved by DES in diabetic patients with stable or unstable coronary disease, with similar risk of death or MI up to 4 years compared with BMS. (lu.se)
- The current guidelines are based on limited data and there is no prospective randomized study directly comparing angiography with CE in the setting of acute bleeding. (medscape.com)
- In a small, nonrandomized study, [ 11 ] CE detects more lesions than CT or standard angiography in patients with OGIB. (medscape.com)
- In this study, we prospectively randomized patients with active overt OGIB to receive either immediate CE or angiography. (medscape.com)
- Atypical presentations occur often, and older adults and persons with medical comorbidities may have delayed presentation of fever and respiratory symptoms.10,14 In one study of 1,099 hospitalized patients, fever was present in only 44% at hospital admission but eventual y developed in 89% during hospitalization.

Dose3
- The major drawback to CCTA is radiation, but ACRIN investigator Harold Litt pointed out that the radiation dose received by patients for CCTA is now lower than the dose received during nuclear imaging studies. (cardiobrief.org)
- Algorithms to reduce these artifacts increase patient dose. (wikipedia.org)
- It is therefore important to monitor radiation dose to both patient and the medical staff. (wikipedia.org)
Primary outcome1
- The primary outcome was the safety at 30 days of patients with a negative CCTA. (cardiobrief.org)
Consecutive patients1
- Consecutive patients presented with acute melena or hematochezia, but nondiagnostic upper and lower endoscopy, were immediately randomized to receive small-bowel CE or angiography. (medscape.com)
Circulation1
- The inadvertent entry of CO 2 into the cerebrovascular circulation during angiography can cause fatal brain injury. (medscape.com)
Risk stratification1
- Risk stratification is often used to determine the need and priority for coronary angiography. (uea.ac.uk)
Hospital3
- This could possibly replace the TVs and the hospital CIO said it was easy to do being they have WiFi throughout the hospital anyway and so far patients like it and can watch a movie too if they like. (blogspot.com)
- STANFORD, Calif.--( EON: Enhanced Online News )--Instead of television, Stanford Hospital is offering some patients a more high-tech form of entertainment: iPads. (blogspot.com)
- The patient was transferred to a tertiary care hospital. (cdc.gov)
20211
- PubMed, Scopus, and Cochrane Library were searched for RCTs comparing CR strategies with COR strategy in patients with STEMI between January 1, 2000 and September 30, 2021 were identified. (illinois.edu)
