On LV (left ventricle) to aorta pull back, aortic pressure rises due to relief of the enhanced obstruction of the aortic orifice which had occurred while entering the
LAO (left anterior oblique) 40 degrees with 40 degrees cranial angulation is known as hepato clavicular view. It is used to profile inlet ventricular septal defects.
Drug eluting stents have stent struts, polymer used to anchor the drug and the drug itself. Polymer coating of the drug eluting stent (DES) reduces the expandability of
Coronary angiography prior to surgery for valvular heart disease is considered for those 40 years and above (35 years when there are coronary risk factors).
Minimal luminal diameter (MLD) at the end of the procedure minus the minimal luminal diameter at the repeat angiogram, generally at 6 months is taken as the late
Complex LAD lesion in RAO cranial view: complex lesion of left anterior descending coronary artery in right anterior oblique view with cranial angulation - video.
Robotic coronary angioplasty has been shown to high technical and clinical success as well as safety in initial studies with simple coronary lesions. Radiation to the operator is
Vorapaxar is an orally active protease-activated-receptor-1 (PAR-1) antagonist capable of inhibiting thrombin induced platelet activation. A recent study showed the role of vorapaxar in reducing stent thrombosis, but
Catheter thrombosis with Fondaparinux is due to:
a) High anti-Factor Xa activity
b) Low anti-Factor IIa activity
c) High factor VIIIa activity
d) Low factor Xa activity
