Left heart catheterization by the transbronchial route: technic and applications in physiologic and diagnostic investigations.

Left Heart Catheterization by the Transbronchial Route Technic and Applications in Physiologic and Diagnostic

T HE development and application of technics for catheterization of the left side of the heart are proving of increasing importance in the study of patients with many types of cardiovascular disease. Two methods of left atrial puncture are commonly employed. The transbronchial method, devised by Allison and Linden' 2 and Facquet et al.3 and the posterior percutaneous route employed first by Bjo...

A double-needle technic for transbronchial left heart catheterization.

تأثیر برنامه آشناسازی بر متغیرهای همودینامیک در بیماران تحت کاتتریزاسیون قلبی

Background & Aim: Physiologic signs of anxiety usually change hemodynamic variables in patients undergoing heart catheterization. This study carried out to determine the effect of Orientation Program on hemodynamic variables in patient undergoing heart catheterization. Methods & Materials: In this experimental study, 60 patients undergoing heart catheterization were randomly assigned to eith...

Fatal cerebral embolism complicating transseptal left heart catheterization.

THE TECHNIC of transseptal left heart catheterization began with the demonstration in the experimental animal that the intact interatrial septum could be punctured by means of a needle passed through a catheter into the right atrium by way of the femoral vein.' The relative ease and safety with which the left side of the heart could be entered via the transseptal route has led to the widespread...
