Disease relevance of Aortography

• In a patient with weight loss and a systolic epigastric murmur, aortography demonstrated positional celiac axis occlusion [1].
• Both produced a transient tachycardia and hypotension after arch aortography, but significantly less so with iohexol [2].
• CONCLUSION: We advocate the use of flush aortography in women with prior tubo-ovarian pathology or surgery or in cases of large fundal fibroids [3].
• This triad suggested aortoesophageal fistula (AEF) in the patient and could help in the diagnosis of atypical cases of AEF, where thoracic aortography has not been performed initially [4].
• Dual-catheter balloon occlusion aortography in pulmonary atresia with ventricular septal defect and major aorto-pulmonary collaterals [5].

High impact information on Aortography

• Postoperative aortography and peripheral renin measurements offered valuable information in predicting the ultimate response to surgery [6].
• METHODS: Eighty-six consecutive patients with idiopathic moyamoya disease were prospectively examined with both cerebral angiography and abdominal aortography [7].
• CONCLUSION: The combined use of a power injector and a timing examination improved S/Ns and C/Ns at breath-hold single-dose gadolinium-enhanced 3D MR aortography [8].
• PURPOSE: To determine the usefulness of a timing examination performed with 1 mL gadopentetate dimeglumine administered with a magnetic resonance (MR) power injector at single-dose three-dimensional (3D) MR aortography [8].
• Computed tomography, aortography, and ascending cavography demonstrated that the inferior vena cava was perforated by the struts and that the ruptured strut had penetrated the infrarenal aorta [9].

Anatomical context of Aortography

• In 46 preterm infants with RDS the patency of the ductus arteriosus was established by single film aortography or by clinical diagnosis and confirmation at surgery [10].
• All the swine anesthetized with pentobarbital (ie, group 2) died of heart failure either during cross-clamping of the descending aorta or postoperative aortography [11].
• Normal patients usually did not show a myocardial lactic acid production after left ventriculography while the patients with coronary artery disease showed a net lactic acid production in the coronary sinus, which was similar to that obtained after atrial pacing stimulation and after aortography [12].
• CONCLUSION: Selective angiography did not play any significant role in the detection of an anomaly of the hepatic artery and should only be done if the Doppler ultrasound findings of the portal vein are inconclusive or if abdominal aortography cannot provide reliable information about the hepatic artery [13].
• We report the case of a patient who developed anterior spinal cord ischemia during diagnostic aortography He was treated with intravenous recombinant tissue plasminogen activator within 3 hours after the onset of symptoms [14].

Associations of Aortography with chemical compounds

• Gadolinium-enhanced MR aortography [15].
• Double-blind study of the safety, tolerance, and diagnostic efficacy of iopromide as compared with iopamidol and iohexol in patients requiring aortography and visceral angiography [16].
• Spontaneous ventilation with enflurane or isoflurane is a satisfactory anaesthetic technique for translumbar aortography [17].
• Based on the results of this study, iopromide appears to be efficacious, safe, well tolerated, and comparable with iohexol and iopamidol for use in abdominal aortography and visceral angiography [16].
• They were treated with a combination of azathioprine and prednisolone for one year, and aortography was carried out in all patients before and after completion of the treatment [18].

Gene context of Aortography

• Lateral aortography with evaluation of the celiac artery is always appropriate in these patients [19].
• Diagnostic importance of aortography in conal ventricular-septal defect [20].
• None of the primary pulmonary hypertension group studied by aortography had bronchopulmonary collaterals (P < < 0.001) [21].
• Aortic injury was diagnosed on 14 SCT examinations (2.9 %), five of the patients having had an additional digital aortography that confirmed the aortic trauma [22].
• CONCLUSION: Arch aortography appears to have a lower neurological complication rate than selective carotid angiography [23].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Aortography

• Iohexol is a new, nonionic water-soluble contrast agent undergoing early clinical trials in the United States. Using a double-blind, parallel format, iohexol was compared with meglumine iothalamate (60 patients) for selective cerebral angiography, and with sodium meglumine diatrizoate (40 patients) for arch aortography [2].
• RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES: This study compared the safety and efficacy of iodixanol with those of ioxaglate in adult patients undergoing aortography or peripheral arteriography [24].
• A case of gadolinium-enhanced computed tomographic aortography (CTA) for suspected thoracic dissection is reported [25].
• One patient with a suspected blister diagnosed at aortography, during chest physiotherapy for his COPD, presented sudden abdominal pain: at urgent laparotomy, an acute contained rupture of a large blister, without extraluminal blood loss, was found [26].
