Herein, we compare conventional biplane angiography to multimodality image fusion with live fluoroscopy using two-dimensional (2D)–three-dimensional (3D) registration (MMIF 2D−3D ) and assess MMIF 2D−3D impact on radiation exposure and contrast volume during cardiac catheterization of patients with congenital heart disease (CHD).

Introduction:Dextrocardia is a rare congenital condition where the heart's apex points to the right, with an incidence of about 0.01%. Patients usually have a normal life expectancy unless other structural heart diseases are present. An intravascular ultrasound was also performed, which was negative for vessel dissection.

Background Axillary arterial access (AAA) in pediatric heart catheterizations is undervalued. Methods We retrospectively reviewed children with congenital heart diseases (CHDs) who received trans-axillary arterial catheterizations between January 2019 and February 2023. Results We identified 30 patients (66.7% months (IQR, 0.3–5.4),

Once the patient reaches the hospital, the doctors will attempt to remove the clot using either a potent clot buster medicine [thrombolytic medicines] or a surgery known as primary angioplasty. Although both techniques have advantages and limitations, primary angioplasty is the chosen therapy in most cases. Maintain a healthy weight.
