Prenatal ultrasound diagnosis, associated anomalies and pregnancy outcomes of fetal right aortic arch

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

RAA features were characterised by comparing prenatal ultrasound data with anatomical casting results after pregnancy termination or postnatal imaging and surgical intervention to analyse the prognosis and misdiagnoses of fetal RAA.ResultsOf the 157 fetal RAA cases, 50 (31.8%) cases were isolated RAA and 107 (68.2%) cases were nonisolated RAA.

Next frontier in radiation free Cath lab : Fibro-optic guided Catheterization

Dr. S. Venkatesan MD

Meanwhile, over the years, ultrasound moved up from the pelvis, abdomen, right into coronary arteries and heart. Intravascular ultrasound-based interventions are being done in coronary artery, in a few cases to avoid contrast in patients with CKD. (We has limited use in deep vision of coronary wall anatomy and histology.

Abstract 212: Percutaneous Carotid access in Mechanical Thrombectomy ? a safe alternative to transfemoral approach

Stroke: Vascular and Interventional Neurology

The procedure was initiated via ultrasound‐guided right common femoral access. For patients with complex and unfavorable vascular anatomy for mechanical endo‐vascularization, direct percutaneous carotid puncture can be advantageous, effectively reducing the aforementioned difficulties. ASPECT score 5‐6.

Basics of Echocardiography

All About Cardiovascular System and Disorders

During echocardiography, a transducer transmits the ultrasound beam towards the heart. A good knowledge of the anatomy of the heart is needed for interpretation of images from each view. Opening and closing movements of the aortic and mitral valves are visible. Hence a basic knowledge is needed for all physicians and paramedics.
