Evaluation of diagnostic reliability of radionuclide phlebography using 99mTc-MAA to detect deep venous thrombosis; its role in establishing indications for inferior vena cava filter implantation.

Radionuclide phlebography (RNP) of the lower extremities and pelvis was performed using 99mTc-MAA in 40 patients with pulmonary thromboembolism. Deep venous thrombosis (DVT) was found in all patients, more frequently in the right calf and in the left iliac veins in 20 patients (55%). RNP and contrast phlebography (CP) were performed in 18 patients and confirmed the presence of DVT in all cases. The greatest specificity of RNP was obtained in the left (92.4%) and in the right pelvis (80%). In 12 of 18 patients in whom a cava filter was implanted, specificity of RNP was 100% for the left thigh and 91.7% for other localizations. In establishing indications for cava filter implantation, RNP should be performed prior to CP and bilaterally, but in case of non-indicated CP, RNP findings should be sufficient.

Catheter-aided extraction of a steel coil accidentally lodged in the right ventricle.

In one case a steel coil similar to the Gianturco coil accidentally lodged in the outflow tract of the right ventricle during the embolization of a pulmonary arteriovenous fistula. Extraction of the coil with an intravascular foreign body retrieval set (Cook Inc., Bloomington Ind.) was unsuccessful because the extraction wire broke. An improvised device was then employed, using a Cordis 8 French multipurpose catheter and a single stainless steel wire designed for surgical osteosynthesis. The steel coil was successfully caught by the device and pulled out via the femoral vein.

[Ultrasound, computer tomography and angiography in the diagnosis of dissecting aortic aneurysm].

The findings obtained by ultrasound, CT and angiographic examinations of 75 patients with dissecting aortic aneurysms operated on at the M.M.A. are analysed. The aim of each particular method was to detect the presence of dissection, the aortic entrance tear and type of dissection. These findings were compared with the operative findings. On the basis of the analysis it has been concluded that the precision of the diagnosis obtained by angiography was 93%, by CT 74% and by ultrasound 69%.

[Duplex sonography in the diagnosis of ischemic disease of the lower extremity. Comparative study with angiography].

The aim was to study possibilities of duplex sonography in evaluation of ischemic diseases of the lower extremities. The results obtained were compared with angiographic findings and high correlation of the results was obtained. Duplex sonography is a simple, safe, noninvasive method in diagnosing the site and degree of stenotic changes on the arteries of the lower extremities.
