In addition, a localized infrarenal AD was fortuitously discovered in two patients presenting with abdominal visceral cancer. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The role of aortography and pathologic findings seen in a variety of diseases are presented here. [ohsu.pure.elsevier.com]

• Prolonged Immobilization

  Treatment consists of prolonged immobilization associated with appropriate antibiotic therapy for at least three months. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Hemoptysis

  Abstract Scanning timing for multi-detector row computed tomography during thoracic aortography (MDCT-TA) was explored for depiction of arteries responsible for hemoptysis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Anisocoria

  Examination was notable for anisocoria with a dilated right pupil. Patient had a regular rate and rhythm with equal pulses and blood pressure readings bilaterally. [acc.org]

CONCLUSION: Esophageal evaluation should precede aortography in the workup of stable patients with transmediastinal gunshot wounds. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Transesophageal echocardiography is used to detect the aortic arch pathology during diagnostic workup of ischemic stroke events. [experts.umn.edu]

Pleural effusion (more common on the left side; suggests leakage) Pericardial effusion Cardiac enlargement Displacement of a nasogastric tube Left apical opacity All findings on plain images are nonspecific but may help in determining the need for further workup [emedicine.medscape.com]

• Mediastinal Mass

  Conventional radiography in four projections and tomography are important components of the diagnostic evaluation of middle mediastinal masses. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Hepatocellular Carcinoma

  OBJECTIVES: We investigated the frequencies and factors associated with the presence of extra-hepatic feeding arteries (EHFAs) of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) using intra-arterial CT aortography images. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Treatment included surgical drainage and systemic antibiotic therapy. Fever and progresive neurological dysfunction were relieved. There is controversy about the safety and efficacy of translumbar versus percutaneous transfemoral aortography. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Drugs Used for Aortography The following list of medications are in some way related to, or used in the treatment of this condition. [drugs.com]

Approximately half of iatrogenic dissections are confined below the aortic root (Dunning type I) and generally have an excellent prognosis [ 7 ]. [openaccessjournals.com]

It also helps assess predictive factors that would allow for better endovascular prognosis and treatment. [emedicine.medscape.com]

It is uncertain if these are a marker for a poorer prognosis, although there is some evidence that those sited in the arch and proximal are more significant [ 39 ]. [doi.org]

Seventeen other cases of chylothorax with this etiology were found in the literature and studied. The causes, diagnosis and treatment of this complication are discussed. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Epidemiology AAAs are a significant health care burden and a cause of growing concern. [aafp.org]

▪Pathophysiology of aortocoronary dissection The exact pathophysiology of IAD remains obscure but an entry point often originates within the coronary dissection and then blood flow or forceful injection of contrast leads to progressive retrograde extension [openaccessjournals.com]

The multiple side holes help dissipate the pressure of rapid power contrast injection and prevent excessive catheter movement. [thoracickey.com]

Once the catheter is removed, pressure will be applied to the area to prevent excessive bleeding and a bandage will be applied. Afterward, you’ll recover in a separate room and will have to lie flat for several hours to prevent bleeding. [healthline.com]
