◉ Which of the following is the typical field size (cm) for the
Anteroposterior calf vessels view of a lower limb angiogram?
a. 50
b. 30
c. 20
d. 40 Answer: d. 40.
For the Anteroposterior calf vessels view of a lower limb angiogram,
the typical parameters are:
Contrast volume (mL): 10 - 20
Injection rate (mL/s): 5
Frame rate (frames per second): 1
Field size (cm): 40
Inject delay (s): 0
X-ray delay (s): Increase as necessary
◉ Which size guide wire is typically used with balloons for
peripheral interventions?
a. 0.035 inch
b. 0.018 inch
, c. 0.021 inch
d. 0.001 inch Answer: a. . 035 inch
The small guide wires are typically. 018 inch. They may be as small
as .014 inch. The larger guide wires used with balloons are .035
inch.
◉ Why would a right ventriculogram be performed? Answer: To
determine if there is and why there is an abnormal blood flow on the
right side of the heart
A right heart ventriculography evaluates images of both the right
atrium and right ventricle. It is performed to determine if there is
and why there is an abnormal blood flow on the right side of the
heart. Abnormal results include: weakened pumping functions,
abnormal pressures, abnormalities in the right side of the heart
valves, abnormalities in the right atrium, and abnormal connections
between both sides of the heart. Risks include: cardiac arrhythmias,
cardiac tamponade, embolism, heart attack, infection, hemorrhage,
kidney damage, stroke, and low blood pressure. This procedure can
also be done with coronary angiograms.
◉ To prepare for a ventriculography, patients should be instructed
to do what? Answer: Not to eat or drink 6 to 8 hours before the
procedure
