OPEN HEART SURGERY & CATH LAB - VIDEO
HYBRID OPERATION ROOM WITH CATH LAB
Vanderbilt University Medical Center hosted a live webcast from their state-of- the-art Hybrid OR/Cath Lab on September 29, 2005 at 4pm (CDT).
When John Byrne, M.D. joined Vanderbilt University Medical Center a year ago, he brought a novel idea that he hoped would impact the cardiovascular world, much like air bag safety equipment revolutionized the auto industry.
Called the Hybrid OR/Cath Lab, the state-of-the-art operating suite houses all the equipment and monitoring devices necessary to perform both open-heart surgeries like coronary bypass as well as percutaneous coronary interventions and procedures, including angioplasty and stenting.

CATH LAB & ANGIOGRAPHY
CATH LAB
A catheterization laboratory or cath lab is an examination room in a hospital or clinic with diagnostic imaging equipment to support the catheterization procedure. A catheter is inserted into a large artery, and various wires and devices can be inserted through the body via the ateries. The artery most used is in the femoral artery.
ANGIOGRAPHY
Angiography or arteriography is a medical imaging technique in which an X-ray picture is taken to visualize the inner opening of blood filled structures, including arteries, veins and the heart chambers. Its name comes from the Greek words angeion, "vessel", and graphien, "to write or record". The X-ray film or image of the blood vessels is called an angiograph, or more commonly, an angiogram.
CEREBRAL ANGIOGRAPHY
Cerebral angiography or arteriography is a form of medical imaging that visualizes the arterial and venous supply of the brain.
CORONARY ANGIOGRAPHY
A coronary catheterization is a minimally invasive procedure to access the coronary circulation and blood filled chambers of the heart using a catheter. It is performed for both diagnostic and interventional (treatment) purposes.
PULMONARY ANGIOGRAPHY
Pulmonary angiography (or pulmonary arteriography) is a cardiological medical procedure. Pulmonary blood vessels are x-rayed to detect blood clots (such as a pulmonary embolism) or arteriovenous malformations. Direct angiography is the injection of radiocontrast into the circulation with subsequent fluoroscopy (direct X-ray visualisation) of the lungs. A more common form of direct angiography, which is regarded as the gold standard for pulmonary embolism, is the catheterisation of the right atrium of the heart and injection of radiocontrast into the right heart.
LYMPHANGIOGRAPHY
Lymphangiography is a radiographic procedure for imaging the lymphatic system. Lymph nodes and lymph vessels are visualised after injection of a radiopaque contrast medium.
MAGNETIC RESONANCE ANGIOGRAPHY
Magnetic Resonance Angiography is the imaging of blood vessels using Magnetic Resonance Imaging. Magnetic Resonance Angiography (MRA) is used to generate pictures of the arteries in order to evaluate them for stenosis (abnormal narrowing) or aneurysms (vessel wall dilatations, at risk of rupture). MRA is often used to evaluate the arteries of the neck and brain, the thoracic and abdominal aorta, the renal arteries, and the legs (called a "run-off"). A variety of techniques can be used to generate the pictures, such as administration of a paramagnetic contrast agent (gadolinium) or using a technique known as "flow-related enhancement" (e.g. 2D and 3D time-of-flight sequences), where most of the signal on an image is due to blood which has recently moved into that plane. Magnetic Resonance Venography (MRV) is a similar procedure that is used to image veins. In this method the tissue is now excited inferiorly while signal is gathered in the plane immediately superior to the excitation plane, and thus imaging the venous blood which has recently moved from the excited plane.
