  2. Percutaneous coronary intervention - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Percutaneous_coronary...

    Further diagnostic coronary angiography is not routinely indicated after coronary stent implantation. If progression of heart disease is suspected, a stress test will be performed; patients who develop symptoms or show evidence of ischemia in a stress test may undergo diagnostic cardiac re-catheterization. [35]

  3. Pulmonary angiography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulmonary_angiography

    Selective pulmonary angiogram revealing significant thrombus (labelled A) causing a central obstruction in the left main pulmonary artery. Pulmonary angiography (or pulmonary arteriography,conventional pulmonary angiography, selective pulmonary angiography) is a medical fluoroscopic procedure used to visualize the pulmonary arteries and much less frequently, the pulmonary veins.

    Fibrinolysis is an alternative if timely PPCI not feasible. Third, this model does not incorporate noninvasive and invasive data, such as cardiac biomarkers, ST-segment resolution, left ventricular function and coronary angiography. TIMI-STEMI Score Calculation. Age < 65 y/o: +0; 65-74 y/o: +2 >= 75 y/o: +3; SBP < 100 mmHg: +3; Heart rate > 100: +2

  6. Computed tomography angiography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../Computed_tomography_angiography

    Computed tomography angiography (also called CT angiography or CTA) is a computed tomography technique used for angiography—the visualization of arteries and veins—throughout the human body. Using contrast injected into the blood vessels, images are created to look for blockages, aneurysms (dilations of walls), dissections (tearing of walls ...

  7. Coronary catheterization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coronary_catheterization

    CT angiography can act as a less invasive alternative to Catheter angiography. Instead of a catheter being inserted into a vein or artery, CT angiography involves only the injection of a CT-visible dye into the arm or hand via an IV line. CT angiography lowers the risk of arterial perforation and catheter site infection.

  8. CT pulmonary angiogram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CT_pulmonary_angiogram

    A CT pulmonary angiogram (CTPA) is a medical diagnostic test that employs computed tomography (CT) angiography to obtain an image of the pulmonary arteries. Its main use is to diagnose pulmonary embolism (PE). [ 1 ]

  9. Angiography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angiography

    After an angiogram, a sudden shock can cause a little pain at the surgery area, but heart attacks and strokes usually do not occur, as they may in bypass surgery. The risk of complications from angiography can be reduced with a prior CT scan by providing clinicians with more information about number and positioning of the clots in advance. [19 ...
