Angiography Arteriography and Aortograms SPRING 2013
Angiography Is the general term that describes the radiologic examination of vascular structures within the body after the introduction of an iodinated contrast medium or gas
Angiography Team • Radiologist • CIT (Radiologic Technologist) • Sometimes more than one • Other specialists (if needed) • Nurse • Anesthesiologist (if needed)
Verify the presence of tumors Blood supply to tumors Internal bleeding Possible anemia Stenosis Can be caused form atherosclerosis Occlusions Clots Thrombus Embolus Aneurysms Heart disease Indications
Contraindications • Previous severe reaction to contrast • Impaired renal function • Impaired blood clotting factors • Inability to undergo surgical procedure
Contrast Media • Iodinated contrast media is used • Can produce nausea & an uncomfortable burning sensation • Allergic reactions • Severe: anaphylactic shock • Shock, rapid shallow breathing, high pulse rate & ALOC • Mild: Hives or slight difficulty breathing
Needles • Vascular access needles • Size based on external diameter of needle • Allows for appropriate Guidewires matching • So internal diameter must also be known
