1. Selective Coronary Angiography

Selective coronary angiography involves injecting contrast dye into the coronary arteries to visualize blood flow. This precise diagnostic procedure helps identify blockages, narrowing, and anomalies in the coronary arteries, guiding treatment decisions and interventions.

2. Ventriculography

Ventriculography is a diagnostic technique used to assess the function of the heart’s ventricles. By injecting contrast dye into the ventricles, this procedure provides detailed images, aiding in the evaluation of wall motion abnormalities and overall cardiac performance.

3. Shuntography (Post-Aorto-Coronary Bypass Surgery)

Shuntography is employed after aorto-coronary bypass surgery to assess the efficacy of the procedure. This diagnostic tool helps identify any shunt malfunction or abnormal blood flow, ensuring the success of the surgical intervention.

4. Catheterization of Heart and Main Blood Vessels

Catheterization involves inserting a thin tube into the heart and major blood vessels, equipped with a manometer and oximetry capabilities. This invasive diagnostic procedure provides real-time monitoring of pressures, oxygen levels, and aids in assessing cardiac and vascular function.

5. Cavography and Phlebography: Visualizing Venous Structures

Cavography and phlebography utilize contrast dye and catheters to visualize venous structures. These diagnostic procedures are essential for assessing conditions such as deep vein thrombosis and venous insufficiency.

6. Diagnostic Puncture of the Pericardium

Diagnostic puncture of the pericardium involves the careful insertion of a needle into the pericardial sac to obtain fluid samples. This diagnostic procedure is crucial for evaluating pericardial effusions and guiding appropriate therapeutic interventions.
