Cardiac Catheterization II: Right Heart Catheterization

68
Right Heart Catheterization: An OverviewRight heart catheterization is an invasive diagnostic procedure that measures right-sided cardiac and pulmonary artery pressures, calculates cardiac output, and identifies intracardiac shunts. It provides detailed hemodynamic data essential for diagnosing and managing various cardiovascular conditions, such as pulmonary hypertension.Access SitesCommon access sites for right heart catheterization include the internal jugular vein in the neck region, the...

Pulmonary Embolism II: Diagnostic Studies and Interprofessional Care

Diagnosing Pulmonary EmbolismDiagnosing pulmonary embolism (PE) involves clinical assessment and advanced imaging tests. The preferred diagnostic tool is the spiral (helical) CT scan or CT angiography (CTA), which uses intravenous contrast media to visualize the pulmonary vasculature and identify emboli.A ventilation-perfusion (V/Q) scan is an alternative for patients unable to receive contrast media. This scan includes both perfusion and ventilation scanning. Perfusion scanning involves...

Area of Science:

  • Vascular Surgery
  • Interventional Radiology
  • Endovascular Techniques

Background:

  • Endovascular aortic repair (EVAR) for thoracic aorta diseases is common.
  • Endoleaks, particularly Type II, remain a significant complication.
  • Treatment of Type II endoleaks from intercostal arteries is often challenging due to technical difficulties.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a novel and successful approach for treating Type II endoleaks.
  • To highlight the efficacy of direct intercostal artery access for endoleak embolization.
  • To present a minimally invasive treatment option for persistent Type II endoleaks.

Main Methods:

  • Successful treatment of Type II endoleak in two patients.
  • Utilized direct intercostal artery access.
  • Performed coil embolization under local anesthesia.

Main Results:

  • Successful exclusion of Type II endoleaks in both treated patients.
  • Demonstrated feasibility of direct intercostal artery access for embolization.
  • Minimally invasive procedure performed under local anesthesia.

Conclusions:

  • Direct intercostal artery access is a feasible and successful method for treating Type II endoleaks.
  • Coil embolization via this approach offers a minimally invasive solution.
  • This technique addresses the ongoing risk of aneurysm enlargement or rupture associated with untreated endoleaks.
