Radiofrequency catheter ablation guided by intracardiac echocardiography.
BACKGROUND Radiofrequency catheter ablation requires precise positioning of the ablation electrode. Fluoroscopically guided catheter manipulation has limitations, and there are risks of radiation exposure. The purpose of this study was to examine the feasibility of guiding catheter ablation within the right atrium with catheter-based intracardiac echocardiography. METHODS AND RESULTS A 10F, 1...
متن کاملReview of Ultrasound-Guided Radial Artery Catheter Placement.
Radial artery catheters are commonly placed for continuous blood pressure monitoring, frequent arterial blood gas analysis, or frequent blood sampling for diagnostic testing. Radial artery cannulation can be challenging and ultrasound guidance has emerged as a valuable adjunct for the placement of radial artery catheters. The advantages of ultrasound guidance include: real-time visualization of...
متن کاملRadiofrequency catheter ablation of ventricular tachycardia guided by intracardiac echocardiography.
AIMS Ventricular tachycardia (VT) frequently has an anatomical substrate. Identification of areas prone to arrhythmogenicity facilitates radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA). Furthermore, direct monitoring of complications potentially increases safety of RFCA. The aim of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of guiding RFCA of VT with intracardiac echocardiography (ICE), in order to imp...
متن کاملThe pulmonary artery catheter.
Clinical Medicine Vol 2 No 2 March/April 2002 101 The flow-directed pulmonary artery catheter (PAC) has been in clinical use since its introduction by Swan and colleagues in 19701. During that time it has become widely used in critical care units throughout the world and is now the most commonly utilised form of flow monitoring. The haemodynamic data obtained with a PAC are used to monitor and ...
متن کاملPulmonary artery catheter-induced hemorrhage.
Pulmonary artery rupture by a flow-directed balloon-tipped catheter is a rare complication if guidelines for insertion of catheters are strictly applied. It should be stressed that the need for a "confirmed" wedge pressure should be weighed against the very real risk of this potentially fatal complication. Users of this catheter should expect and anticipate distal migration of the catheter tip....
