Abstract:
The paper proposes an original procedure for diagnosing venous dysplasias of different sites. The procedure is based on the analysis of the capacities of currently used invasive and noninvasive techniques of radiation visualization. The practical aspects of conduct of routine studies, their potentialities and shortcomings are outlined. The principle of the proposed procedure is a result of a complex use of the capacities of ultrasound visualization and interventional X-ray contrast studies of the vascular system. The procedure has been successfully used in 8 patients. It is concluded that it is promising to examine venous angiodysplasias by means of direct puncture made under ultrasound guidance, followed by mass contrasting and angiography which may be supplemented by sclerosing therapy.

Jugular Venous Pressure (JVP) Measurement
Position the patient at a thirty- to forty-five-degree angle or in a semi-fowler's position. Look for the highest point of pulsation in the internal jugular vein and measure the vertical distance to the angle of Loius or sternal angle. A normal JVP is 3-4 cm above the...

Pulmonary Angiogram
A Pulmonary Angiogram is an invasive procedure involving injecting a contrast medium through a catheter threaded into the pulmonary artery or the right side of the heart to visualize the pulmonary vasculature. Computed Tomography (CT) scans have mainly replaced this...
