contrast dye is injected into the blood vessel while x-ray images are taken

do not eat 6 hours before and drink 5 hours before your procedure is scheduled

if you have an allergy to x-ray dye kindly proceed still to the procedure

artery in your wrist or hand will be cleaned for the procedure

if the angiogram reveals a narrowed vessels a balloon angioplasty or stent placement may performed at the same time

angiogram is usually painful

this are risk associated with cardiac catherization and angiorams except:

it is a long, thin, flexible tube through the persons arm or groin in which dye is inserted

it is sometimes called a cerebral aneurysm a weak spot in a brain artery

life threatening condition that can cause serious brain injuries or stroke

form a pocket on the outside of an artery

occur when the blood vessels expands on all sides.

are those that form a sac around an artery.

it is a type of heart infection that commonly seen in mycotic aneurysm

what is the usual size of a small aneurysm?

what is the usual size of large aneurysm?

size of a giant aneurysm

most aneurysm do not cause any symptoms

sentinel ruptures is sometimes called sentinel headaches

brain aneurysm are most common in male than female

sometimes an aneurysm leak before it ruptures. Doctors called this as sentinel headache

it packed the aneurysm with metal coil or a stent to redirect the blood flow. Doing this stops blood from flowing into the aneurysm which prevents rupture

these are risk of treatment in both endovascular procedure and brain surgery except:

what do you call if the aneurysm ruptured again?

it is a type of stroke that occurs as a result of bleeding in the brain

a spasm that causes arteries to narrow, limiting blood flow to the brain and potentially causing serious brain damage

this happens when cerebral spinal fluid accumulates in the brain causing dangerous pressure that may damage the organ.

aneurysm is not a stroke, but it can cause one

symptoms of a ruptured aneurysm and stroke are similar but not identical

3 vessels considered in seldinger technique except:

minor surgical procedure to expose vessel of interest

patient prone long needle passed thru t12 - l2 into aorta

simple 18 gauge angiographic puncture needles - one piece - open needle with a sharp beveled tip

allow safe introduction of catheter into the vessel

made of stainless steel and usually about 145 cm long

it is placed over the wire through the access site.

a selective catherization when angle of axi of branch vessel from aortic axis is low

one sample of this is the cobra 2 and celiac in which the angle of axis of branch vessel is between 60 to 120 degrees

one sample of this is the simmons in which when angle of axis of branch vessel from aorta is great

a radiographer who had passed the Philippine Registry for radiologic technologist for cardiovascular and interventional radiography

they are more commonly calle as radiologic technologist

these are advantages of IR excepts

x-ray examination of the arteries and veins to doagnose blockages and other blood vessel problems

open blocked or narrowed blood vessel by inserting a very small balloon into the vessel and inflating it

uses a stent to open up block ducts and allow bile to drain from the liver

insertion if tube beneath the skin and into the blood vessel so that patients can receive medication or nutrients directly into the blood stream.

deliver or cancer fighting agnet directly to the site of the tumor

delivery of clogging agnets directly to an area that is bleeding or to clock blood flow to a problem area like aneurysm

a catheter used to open blocekd fallopian tubes without the surgery

feeding tube inserted into the stomach for patients who are unable to take sufficient food by mouth

use of angioplasty or thrombolysisto open up blocked grafts for hemodialysis

a diagnostic test for breast lung and other cancer.

use of radiofrequency energy to cook and kill cancerous tumors

small flexible tube made of plastic or wire mesh used to treat a variety of medical conditions

dissolved blood clots by injecting clot busting drugs at the site of the clot.

life saving procedure to improve blood flow and prevents hemorrhage in patients with severe liver dysfunction

procedure to stop life threatening postpartum bleeding

treatment for enlarged blood vessels in the scrotum

treats painful fractures and other lesions of the spinal column to provide rapid relief of symptoms and protect from further damage or fractures.

a placement of small flexible rubber tube through the skin into the kidney to drain the urine

these are symptoms of infection in angiogram excepts:

some people feel slight pressure when the doctor inserts the catheter

once the angiogram is completed you maybe on bedrest for 5-6 hours until you have recovered from sedation

you will be encouraged to drink plenty of fluids to flush out the contrast dye from your system

take a hot bath or shower for atleast 24 hours after discharge

it is okay to consume any alcoholic beverages because its liquid

seek immediate medical attention if you experience loss of sensation, redness, swelling or discharge from the isertion site

an angiogram is not usually painful
