INTERVENTIONAL CARDIAC CATHETERIZATION
Pediatric Clinics of North America, 1999Over the past decade, transcatheter interventions have become increasingly important in the treatment of patients with congenital heart lesions. These procedures may be broadly grouped as dilations (e.g., septostomy, valvuloplasty, angioplasty, and endovascular stenting) or as closures (e.g., vascular embolization and device closure of defects ...

Optimizing Radiation Safety in the Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory
Catheterization and cardiovascular interventions, 2015Reducing radiation exposure during cardiovascular catheterization is of paramount importance for both patient and staff safety. Over the years, advances in equipment and application of radiation safety protocols have significantly reduced patient dose ...

Cardiac catheterization and angiography
2010Abstract Cardiac catheterization/angiography is indicated for evaluation of patients with coronary, valvular, and congenital heart disease in whom diagnostic or therapeutic decisions cannot be made on the basis of non-invasive tests. Most patients presenting for cardiac catheterization have coronary artery disease: catheterization and ...

Interventional cardiac catheterization
Current Opinion in Cardiology, 1991The use of the pediatric cardiac catheterization laboratory as a therapeutic modality has become standard practice in most pediatric cardiology centers. Accordingly, reviewing the results of this form of therapy has become very important. This review focuses on the initial and long-term results of balloon dilation procedures in infants and children.

Pediatric cardiac catheterization
Current Opinion in Cardiology, 2002The publications of 2000 and 2001 stress how interventional pediatric cardiology has moved from angioplasty to device placement. This review summarizes the important articles during the past year that evaluated the safety and efficacy of atrial septal defect devices, patent ductus occluders, and stents to treat coarctation of the aorta.

Cardiac Catheterization: Preparing the Adult
The American Journal of Nursing, 1973Although cardiac catheterization is not a surgical procedure, to some patients it definitely says "possible surgery." The procedure involves his heart, which is a frightening thought to many patients, and during it he will be awake and fully conscious.

Cardiac catheterization: dosimetry on patients
RöFo - Fortschritte auf dem Gebiet der Röntgenstrahlen und der bildgebenden Verfahren, 1980Our study was made on 49 patients and we used capsules of lithium fluoride. The average fluoroscopy time was 32 min. and the average cinema film length was 76.5 metres. The relationship between the entry dose, the fluoroscopy time and the length of cinema film allowed us to calculate a fluoroscopy equivalent time (F.E.T) for each patient which was of ...

Safety of Outpatient Cardiac Catheterization
Chest, 1985In this study, we compared the procedure-related complications of inpatient and outpatient cardiac catheterization when performed at the same institution by the same group of cardiologists. The majority of the studies were done using a brachial arterial cutdown approach. The mean age, sex, cardiac diagnosis, mean left ventricular ejection fraction, and
