A 3.2-French cerebral diagnostic catheter for all ages: technical note.

چکیده
We report our experience with a 3.2F cerebral diagnostic catheter system. Thirty patients (aged 6 months to 76 years) had undergone cerebral angiography. All targeted brachiocephalic vessels were catheterized except for one artery (98.9% success rate). The image quality obtained with the 3.2F catheter was judged to be comparable with that using the 4F catheter in all cases. This catheter system could be used for cerebral angiography as the standard for patients of all ages.

In the modern era, many research works are being carried out throughout the world for finding out a suitable cementitious material for the replacement of cement. The supplementary cementitious materials (SCM) can be used as a replacement of cement in the construction industry to minimize the carbon dioxide emission which is implicated in global warming and climatic changes in the environment. T...
متن کاملSelective catheterization and digital subtraction angiography of supraaortic arteries via the transcubital approach: a technical note.
During transcubital selective digital subtraction angiography (DSA), difficulties in catheterization of the supraaortic branches may arise as a result of improper catheter design (1, 2]. The catheters used for transfemoral cerebral angiography may not be suited for such studies , and for this reason we designed a new catheter for both transcubital aortic arch angiography and selective or semise...

We examined 36 outpatients and one inpatient via the transbrachial approach (20 patients via the right brachial, 16 patients via the left). Patients' ages ranged from 18 to 86 years, with the majority in their seventh or eighth decade. Diagnoses among the outpatients included old cerebral infarction, transient ischemia attack, and seizure. The diagnosis for the inpatient was an intracranial ara...
