Coronary angiographic views- Elias Hanna
Elias Hanna・2 minutes read
Caudal views are ideal for the left main, proximal LED, and proximal circumflex, while cranial views are better for mid to distal LED and diagonal branching points. Differentiating between branches like LED and diagonal can be challenging, but adjusting views can improve clarity for imaging.
Insights
- Adjusting views is crucial for optimal clarity in imaging; shifting to more cranial angles can enhance visualization of the LED, while inspiration can aid in improving vertical heart positioning for clearer images.
- Distinguishing between true septal branches and diagonal branches is essential; the former remains straight during systole, whereas the latter exhibit torquing and shrinking behavior, impacting accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.
