The extent of collateral circulation in 46 patients who had intracoronary thrombolysis within six hours of the onset of acute myocardial infarction was evaluated. Patients who had had a previous myocardial infarction (4 cases) or who had spontaneously recanalized infarct related coronary arteries (5 cases) were excluded from the analysis. Collateral development was graded during coronary cineangiography according to the extent of opacification of the collateral and epicardial arteries distal to the site of occlusion (collateral index 0 to 3). Angina was considered to be present before myocardial infarction if it had occurred more than one week before acute myocardial infarction. Collateral channels were visible in only two of 19 patients without angina before infarction and nine of the 18 patients with angina before infarction. The prevalence of angina and the collateral index were not significantly influenced by the extent of coronary vessel disease. It is concluded that myocardial ischaemia is ...

Quantification of luminal dimensions and the mechanisms by which angioplasty (PTA) corrects non-atheroma venous stula stenoses have been poorly studied. In 38 consecutive percutaeous balloon angioplasties of hemodialysis fistula stenoses, catheterbased, mechanically-rotated intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) images were obtained along with cineangiography. Images from 24 brachial vein, 11 central vein, 2 graft anastomoses, and 1 brachial artery were quantitatively and qualitatively evaluated. Semiautomated quantitative angiographic stenosis was 64 ± 13% pre-PTA and reduced to 36 ± 19% post-PTA (P , 0.001). ...

In the Second Mt. Sinai-New York University Reperfusion Trial, in which change of ejection fraction was the primary end point, the following secondary end points were prospectively assessed by serial coronary angiography: patency of the infarct artery both before intervention and 10-14 days later, acute and delayed recanalization rates, presence or absence of collateral flow, and complication rates of acute interventional catheterization. We assigned 393 patients randomly to groups receiving acute cardiac catheterization and a double-blind intracoronary infusion of streptokinase (SK arm), both streptokinase and nitroglycerin (SK-NTG arm), nitroglycerin alone (NTG arm), or conventional therapy without acute catheterization (control arm). Prospective stratification was based on duration of infarct pain before randomization: group A, less than 2 hours; Group B, 2-12 hours. Baseline patency rates were comparable in patients studied within 6 hours (30%, 40 of 135) and those studied later (24%, 32 of ...

A 76-year-old woman underwent aortic valve replacement with a 23 mm Carpentier Edwards bioprosthesis for aortic stenosis. Preoperative coronary angiograms were normal.

To determine if patterns of ST depression or elevation during exercise testing provide reliable information about the location of an underlying coronary lesion, we studied 452 consecutive patients with one-vessel disease who underwent treadmill testing. Exercise ST changes were classified as elevation or depression and by lead groups involved. The ST depression occurred most commonly in leads V5 or V6 regardless of which coronary artery was involved. In contrast, anterior ST elevation indicated left anterior descending coronary disease in 93% of cases, and inferior ST elevation indicated a lesion in or proximal to the posterior descending artery in 86% of cases. Furthermore, anterior ST elevation in leads without diagnostic Q waves usually indicated a high-grade, often proximal, left anterior descending stenosis, whereas anterior ST elevation in leads with Q waves usually indicated a totally occluded left anterior descending coronary artery. Thus, ST elevation during exercise testing, although ...

In the operative correction of tetralogy of Fallot with a severely narrowed right ventricular outflow tract, widening of the pulmonic annulus is frequently necessary to prevent a high residual pressure gradient and to reduce right ventricular pressure overload. This can be accomplished by incising the pulmonic annulus and inserting a patch graft across the valve, but this usually results in pulmonary valvular insufficiency.. Of 426 patients who underwent total correction of Fallots tetralogy between 1959 and 1970, 63 required a patch across the pulmonic annulus. The mortality rate for this group was 30.1%, compared with a total mortality among the 426 patients of 18%. The high mortality rate is influenced by the fact that the majority were corrected in the early years of the series.. Fifteen patients were restudied by cardiac catheterization and cineangiography an average of 9.1 years after total correction. Twelve patients were asymptomatic and three patients had only mild symptoms on exertion ...

TIMI frame count is an alternative to the TIMI flow. Unlike TIMI flow, it offers a quantitative assessment of coronary artery blood flow. TIMI frame count is expressed as the number of frames required for dye to reach a standardized distal landmark in a coronary artery.

The Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory at Ocean is an outpatient facility for high-risk, elective, cardiac diagnostic procedures. It is one of the areas leading, state-of-the-art facilities, utilizing the latest equipment and technology. The labs cardiac imaging system has the capability to instantly transmit digital data and images to other Meridian hospitals and physicians offices.. Cardiac catheterization is the diagnostic tool which enables physicians to identify blockages in the blood vessels (coronary artery) that supply the heart. Additionally it is used to detect other heart-related diseases such as valve disease. During a cardiac catheterization procedure, digital X-ray images are taken of all the coronary arteries in the heart while other images are acquired that measure and show how hard the heart muscle is pumping. This is typically done by inserting thin plastic tubes (catheters) into the femoral artery (groin), but it may also be performed using your arm. Once the catheters ...

UPDATED) The TriGUARD 3 cerebral embolic protection device (Keystone Heart), designed to cover all three cerebral vessels during transcatheter heart procedures, is safe for use during transfemoral TAVR, according to the findings of the REFLECT II trial. But it remains unclear whether it improves patient outcomes.. The primary safety endpoint was a VARC-2-defined composite of events at 30 days-all-cause mortality, all stroke, life-threatening or disabling bleeding, stage 2 or 3 acute kidney injury, coronary artery obstruction requiring intervention, major vascular complications, and valve-related dysfunction requiring a repeat procedure. The observed rate of 15.9% (with a standard deviation of 22.5%) came in under 34.4%, the performance goal based on prior trials (P = 0.0001 for noninferiority), according to Jeffrey Moses, MD (Columbia University Irving Medical Center, New York, NY, and St. Francis Hospital, Roslyn, NY).. Compared with controls undergoing unprotected TAVR, safety events were ...

N2 - We have previously reported that angina pectoris persists in patients with coronary microvascular spasm (MVS) even on calcium channel blockers. Because measurement of myocardial lactate production in the coronary sinus is necessary to diagnose MVS, a more feasible diagnostic method needs to be developed. In this study, we examined the diagnostic significance of Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) frame count, a marker of coronary blood flow, in 131 consecutive patients who underwent provocation test for coronary spasm with acetylcholine (ACh). Epicardial coronary spasm (ES) was diagnosed as more than 75% of ACh-induced vasoconstriction noted by coronary angiography. MVS was diagnosed as ACh-induced myocardial ischemia ...

Animals were sedated with ketamine hydrochloride (10 mg/kg IM initially and supplemental doses as needed) and anesthetized with pentobarbital (20 mg/kg IV). Studies were performed under sterile conditions in an animal catheterization laboratory. A polyethylene catheter with multiple side holes and a 60° directional Doppler ultrasound transducer was inserted via an arteriotomy into the right axillary artery. The catheter was passed retrogradely under fluoroscopic visualization to the origin of the right subclavian artery, ie, to the bifurcation of the right brachiocephalic artery into the right common carotid and subclavian arteries. Mean and phasic arterial pressure and Doppler frequency were recorded continuously. Cineangiograms of the right internal carotid artery were obtained in a projection that was 45° to the anteroposterior plane. Power injections of nonionic contrast (iohexol, Sanofi-Winthrop Pharmaceuticals) were made at a rate of 15 mL/s through the catheter in the brachiocephalic ...

With ,8 million emergency department (ED) visits annually in the United States and a reported 2% of patients discharged from the ED with a missed acute coronary syndrome, the optimal management of acute chest pain in the ED is a dilemma faced by many clinicians (1). Risk stratification on the basis of the initial history, physical examination, electrocardiogram, and troponin measurement is essential early in the triage process. For patients with low to intermediate risk for short-term death and myocardial infarction (MI), the evaluation is focused on identifying those who can be safely discharged from the ED after an observation period, with or without a noninvasive study to evaluate for ischemia (stress test) or coronary artery obstruction (coronary computed tomography angiography [CCTA]). With the advent of high-sensitivity troponins (hsTn), the ability to rule out MI in the ED has improved (2). Previous protocols utilized creatine kinase myocardial band or regular troponin. Therefore, ...

The purpose of this study was to determine whether a relation exists between electrocardiographic (ECG) abnormalities and left ventricular wall motion in patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage. Although ECG changes simulating acute myocardial infarction are frequently seen in patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage, their relation to left ventricular wall motion has not been established. Twelve patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage were classified according to the presence of ST segment elevation in at least two consecutive leads on admission: seven patients with ST segment elevation (group I) and five patients without ST segment elevation (group II). No patients had a previous history of heart disease. Left ventricular regional wall motion was evaluated by the centerline method. The mean (+/- SEM) duration from onset of subarachnoid hemorrhage to left ventriculography was 9 +/- 3 h in group I and 10 +/- 1 h in group II. Coronary angiography was performed to rule out wall motion abnormalities due ...

Other information: The cardiac catheterisation laboratory (CCL) is a specialised medical radiology facility where both chronic-stable and life-threatening cardiovascular illness is evaluated and treated. Although there are many potential sources of discomfort and distress associated with procedures performed in the CCL, a general anaesthetic is not usually required. For this reason, an anaesthetist is not routinely assigned to the CCL. Instead, to manage pain, discomfort and anxiety during the procedure, nurses administer a combination of sedative and analgesic medications according to direction from the cardiologist performing the procedure. This practice is referred to as nurse-administered procedural sedation and analgesia (PSA). While anecdotal evidence suggested that nurse-administered PSA was commonly used in the CCL, it was clear from the limited information available that current nurse-led PSA administration and monitoring practices varied and that there was contention around some ...

The importance of displaying and recording multiple superimposed channels of physiologic signals was rapidly recognized. Thus, the first major development was the move from ink-writing oscillographs to multichannel oscilloscopic recorders. These instruments could display multiple channels of physiologic signals in real time on an oscilloscopic screen. The physician operator could view the screen in order to monitor in real time both the data being obtained and the patients condition. These instruments also added an important adjunct-the ability to superimpose multiple analog signals in a time-based display. This capability enhanced signal interpretation by displaying the nuances of relationships between different signals. (eg, superimposing pressure signals from adjacent cardiac chambers facilitates the recognition and measurement of pressure gradients.) This capability required incorporating photo-optical recorders that could record the individual superimposed oscilloscopic beams on ...
