For the beginner angiographer the anatomic landmarks formed by the spine, catheter and diaphragm provide information to discern which tomographic view from which the image is obtained. In the LAO view (figure 1) the catheter and spine are seen on the right side of the image, while in the RAO (figure 2) they are found on the left.

RAO (Right Anterior Oblique) Caudal: The best view for the initial injection of the Left System. Also, the best overall view to assess the blush of the LCx, as it minimizes intra- and inter-arterial overlap. In this view, the system in question appears angiographically to the right of the spine with a slight inferior angulation (from below). 2.

The online version of this chapter of “Tools & Techniques” will give practical advice for the choice of the appropriate angiographic view for diagnosis and percutaneous treatment of cardiovascular disease with particular emphasis on coronary artery disease.

Take every opportunity to review coronary angiograms – during all rotations, cardiac catheterization conference, angiographic review sessions and when seeing patients in the Cardiology Clinic

Anatomy atlas of the coronary arteries in interventional radiology: coronarography of the right and left coronary arteries and ventriculography, with 3D modelling of the heart and of the different radiological planes.

In this review, we have discussed the basic views of coronary angiography and a simplified step-by-step method of interpreting coronary angiograms relevant to cardiac surgery. The usefulness of left ventriculography and aortography has been discussed. Methods.

2021年12月28日 · Although computed tomographic (CT) assessment of coronary arteries is rapidly becoming a first line imaging technique for the assessment of coronary artery disease (CAD), coronary angiography (CA) still represents the gold standard method, especially for guiding percutaneous coronary artery interventions (PCI).

To date, coronary artery angiography has been the primary visualization modality used clinically. Contrast is injected into the coronary arteries to identify existing occlusions or narrowing due to atherosclerotic plaques/calcifications.

1995年10月15日 · Our review of the literature indicates that we may benefit from shifting the current focus and preoccupation with coronary luminology to achieving the desired clinical end point: promoting survival and long-term freedom from myocardial infarction and the disabling symptoms of coronary heart disease.
