Peculiarities of angiographic diagnosis of cerebral and coronary arteries combined atherosclerotic damage
Abstract
The method of appropriate angiographic diagnostic of cerebral and coronary arteries combined atherosclerotic damage in patients with ischemic heart disease was described. These patients needed surgical treatment of neck and brain arteries. They needed cerebral angiography and coronarography at the same time. This method let us find cerebral and coronary arteries different damage level and identify the treatment method for the future, decrease the complications risk level and high price of diagnosis, using just one transfemoral approach. Also it let us use not so much contrast liquid, decrease time for investigation and multiply economic value.
