In the present report, we sought to establish a novel standardized quantitative classification for the quality of coronary angiography, taking into consideration two main parameters: coronary contrast filling and coronary sinus contrast reflux. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Heart Disease

  OBJECTIVE: Aim of the present study was to determine the prevalence of coronary artery anomalies in children with congenital heart disease. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  Different types of CT scans are employed for the diagnosis of heart diseases such as coronary heart disease, heart attack, congestive heart failure, and congenital heart disease and these include: Calcium-score screening heart scan Coronary CT angiography [animedicalgroup.com]

  The same I.V. may be used to give a safe medication (commonly used by patients with high blood pressure and heart disease) to slow or stabilize the heart rate for better imaging results. [imagingcenteratcarlstadt.com]

• Urinary Retention

  At the entrance hours, 3, 6, 8, and 24 hours after the angiography, the patients in both groups were evaluated in terms of groin pain, low back pain, urinary retention, discomfort, and vascular complications. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The principal indications for referral were: pre-transplant workup (73%) and chest pain work up (19%). In the pre-transplant assessment group (n = 19), 10 CCTAs showed no/ mild disease, 3 were non-diagnostic, 6 showed obstructive disease. [anzsnasm.com]

In this case report, we aimed to share gradual transition from endovascular methods to surgery and why surgical treatment is required for a patient who developed arteriovenous fistula after coronary angiography. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

A recent multicenter retrospective analysis of sequential treatment with sorafenib and sunitinib showed that initial treatment with either agent was associated with similar PFS times during first-line treatment (median PFS 8.4 months with sorafenib vs [doi.org]

Patients with diffuse atherosclerosis have worse prognosis than those with angiographically normal coronary arteries. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Disruption of the blood-brain barrier and direct neuronal toxicity are believed to be implicated in the pathophysiology of the syndrome. Symptoms appear soon after contrast administration and resolve completely within 24-48 h. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

This is done to prevent excessive bleeding. CT angiography is considered noninvasive, since the only puncture comes from the small needle used for placing an intravenous line in the hand or arm. [sharecare.com]
