Angiography In Children Research Articles

The continued value of angiography in planning surgical resection of benign and malignant hepatic tumors in children.

We assessed the accuracy of angiography or digital subtraction angiography (DSA) in diagnosing malignancy in hepatic tumors in children. In addition, these results were correlated with sonographic and computed tomographic findings of the liver in selected patients. Twenty-seven patients with primary liver tumors were examined with celiac or selective hepatic arteriography. Sonography was performed in 15 and computed tomography in 15 of the 27 patients. Angiographic criteria for malignancy or benignancy were established. These findings were correlated with computed tomographic and sonographic findings of the liver vascularity in selected patients. The final pathologic diagnosis was established surgically or by percutaneous biopsy. Sonography and computed tomography can be used as the initial procedure for evaluating tumor size, location and hepatic vascularity. However, the exact vascular anatomy demonstrated by angiography in children is more accurate and is often needed prior to surgical resection of primary liver tumors.

Radionuclide angiography in children

Comment: Although radionuclide angiography is a highly specialized area, we believe that many of our readers will appreciate this very clear exposition of medical progress. By intent, the intricate technical details are omitted; they are available elsewhere. The graceful deletion of most of the fashionable abbreviated (and therefore confounding) terms greatly enhances understanding, to the end that we can easily appreciate both the procedure and its clinical applications.--R.E.M.

Complications of angiography in children and means of prevention.

In 267 consecutive angiographic examinations in children 14 thromboembolic complications occurred: following surgical exposure 8 complications in 14 cases and 6 complications in 253 percutaneous angiographies. The origin of thrombus during angiography has recently been clarified. Technical advances such as thin walled catheters, systemic heparinization and lately heparinized catheters decreased the complication rate significantly, no complication occurred among the last 153 examinations.

Thromboembolic complications of angiography for peripheral arterial disease: prospective assessment by Doppler ultrasound.

The incidence of thromboembolic arterial complications related to percutaneous angiography done for patients with arterial disease was assessed in 101 cases (105 procedures). There were 2 instances of anterior tibial artery obstruction and 3 of a decline in ankle pressure greater than 20 mmHg in patients with preexisting leg arterial disease. No patient evidenced symptoms of the complications. This incidence of thromboembolic accident, detected by Doppler ultrasound, is significantly less than those incidence rates noted previously, although the reasons for this difference have not yet been established.

Diagnosis of posterior fossa tumors with angiography in children.

The differential diagnosis of posterior fossa tumors with cerebral angiography in children is presented with diagrams and illustrations. The literature is reviewed and the angiographic landmarks are discussed. The advantage of this form of examination over other methods of contrast studies is emphasized. It is concluded that the detailed analysis of the angiographic findings in posterior fossa tumors in children can be of localizing and of diagnostic value in the majority of cases, and surgery can then be, performed without additional contrast studies.

Catheter cerebral angiography in children: Analysis of 67 examinations

The technique of transfemoral catheter cerebral angiography in children has been described on the basis of 67 examinations performed on 62 patients of paediatric age group. Relative ease and safety of this procedure has been emphasized as well as other advantages over alternative methods. This technique is the best and safest method for obtaining constantly reliable cerebral angiograms in children.

Percutaneous catheterization in children.

Despite the widespread employment of the percutaneous method of catheterization and the voluminous amount of material appearing in the literature on the subject, little has been written about this important technic in children. The vast number of percutaneous vascular examinations are performed in adults for diagnosis and evaluation of the sequelae of atherosclerosis, i.e., stenosis and thrombosis. Because these represent degenerative changes, they are seldom found in the pediatric age group. This, no doubt, is one reason there has been little emphasis on the percutaneous method of vascular entry in children. Schobinger and Ruzicka (6) in their excellent book, Vascular Roentgenology, devote an entire chapter to angiography in children. They state that the percutaneous puncture of arteries in children is difficult and the examination must be performed as a rule after a cut-down. However, Lurie et al. (5) in 1963 reported in detail their experience with the Seldinger technic and concluded that examination of the vascular system in children by the percutaneous method was practical and valuable. In children the majority of vascular abnormalities are congenital. With the advancement of modern cardiac surgery, increasing emphasis has been placed on the accurate preoperative diagnosis of abnormalities of the heart and great vessels. Angiocardiography is extremely important in evaluating these diseases. At most centers the cut-down method of vascular entry is employed to introduce an angiographic catheter. End-hole catheters are not satisfactory for high-pressure injections into the heart because of the risk of myocardial perforation and the greater incidence of catheter recoil. With the development of the Mylar sheath technic (1, 2), this disadvantage of the percutaneous method has been eliminated, and any type catheter or instrument can be introduced percutaneously without the necessity of a cut-down. Prior to March 1965, only a sporadic few percutaneous vascular examinations were performed on children at the University of California at Los Angeles. In the ten-month interval since March, 54 arterial catheterizations were carried out with the percutaneous method of entry. The youngest child was two years of age, and the average age was eleven and one-half years. Twenty examinations were performed in children of ten years or less and 7 in children of five years or less. The majority of these studies were undertaken for evaluation of the left ventricle and aorta, using closed-end catheters inserted through the Mylar sheath. During this time interval, 14 additional arterial studies without the sheath were also performed (Table I). In addition, right heart catheterization and venography following puncture of the femoral vein were carried out twenty times.

AN ANALYSIS OF SEVERAL FACTORS INFLUENCING INJECTION RATES IN ANGIOGRAPHY.

The experienced angiographer is presumed to know well his tools. The neophyte, however, may need guidance in the choice of catheter, contrast medium, and injection pressure. The authors have investigated flow rates through small-bore catheters with representative media, since with the increased use of the Seldinger percutaneous technic as well as the wide usage of angiography in children, the smaller caliber angiographic catheters are of great import. Flow through catheters was analyzed in the most rational fashion, namely, in grams of iodine per second. To correct another deficiency of previous studies only contrast media of low toxicity were compared. Last, a much-needed comparison of the capacities of high-pressure injectors was made. Equipment and Methods Contrast Media: The media tested were the low-viscosity Hypaque 50 per cent, medium-viscosity Renovist and Angio-Conray, and the highly viscid Hypaque 90 per cent. Other pertinent physical data for the present-day media are listed in Table I. Fifty p...

NARCOSIS FOR NEURORADIOLOGIC PROCEDURES IN CHILDREN.

Since pneumoencephalography was first performed in infants by Dandy1in 1918 and cerebral angiography in an 11-year-old girl by Moniz2in 1928 many clinical and technical aspects of these procedures in children have been frequently discussed, but the method of narcosis for these studies has received little critical attention. In adults sedation is usually preferred, but for infants and children general anesthesia is advocated to secure proper positioning and lack of motion during filming. In recent years, however, the wide use of heavy sedation for cardiac catheterization has encouraged its trial in the performance of neuroradiologic procedures in children. Based on the experience of a large pediatric neurology service, this report seeks to assess in a retrospective study the comparative value of general anesthesia and heavy sedation as methods of narcosis for pneumoencephalography and cerebral angiography in children. Material The studies on which this report is based were

Observations about retrograde brachial cerebral angiography in children (analysis of 100 aortographies and 28 cerebral angiographies via the brachial artery).

The results of 100 aortographies and 28 cerebral angiographies performed by contercurrent manual injection through the brachial artery in children under 5 years of age are described. The technique, complications and incidence of filling of the carotid and vertebral arteries are discussed. The effect of malformations of the major thoracic vessels upon filling of the cerebral vessels is also analysed. The following conclusions follow from this study:

CLINICAL ASPECTS OF CEREBRAL ANGIOGRAPHY IN CHILDREN

A series of 90 children subjected to cerebral angiography is reviewed. One hundred thirty-one cerebral angiograms were performed of which 117 were by the percutaneous method. All but 2 were done under general anesthesia. Cerebral angiography was of definite diagnostic value in 43.5 per cent of the patients. No fatalities were encountered in this series. Morbidity and complications were present in 35 per cent of the procedures but all were mild and transient. Complications believed to be due specifically to angiography were present in 20 per cent. It is felt that the morbidity and complications are affected in some way by general anesthesia and premedication. Morbidity in cerebral angiography in children is lower than in pneumoencephalography performed under the same conditions in a comparable group of children. Cerebral angiography is a useful and relatively harmless procedure in children when the proper precautions are taken and the indications are definite. The percutaneous technique is suitable for children of all ages.
