Q

Angiography in which two radiographic images are obtained, the first one w/o contrast, the second one w/ contrast. The two images are compared by a computer that digitally subtract the images of soft tissues, bones, and muscles leaving only the images of the vessels with contrast

Q

Nuclear procedure that uses radioactive tracers to produce movie-like images of the structures of the heart, including the myocardium and the mitral and tricuspid valves.

A

Multiple-gated acquisitions (MUGA)

17
Q

Imaging technique that provides a graphic display of heart sounds and murmurs during the cardiac cycle.

A

Phonocardiography

18
Q

Diagnostic test that uses radiation emitted by the body after injection of radioactive substances to create images of various organs or identify body functions and diseases

A

Scintigraphy

19
Q

Scintigraphy procedure that uses injected radioactive thallium and records the uptake of the isotope with a gamma camera to produce an image.

A

Thallium study (resting)

20
Q

Radiography of a vein after injection of a contrast medium to detect incomplete filling of a vein, which indicates obstruction.

A

Venography

21
Q

Procedures to restore normal rhythm of the heart by applying a controlled electrical shock to the exterior of the heart

A

Cardioversion

22
Q

Technique used to block blood flow to a site by passing a catheter to the area and injecting synthetic material or medication specifically designed to occlude the blood vessel

A

Embolization

23
Q

Injection of a chemical irritant (sclerosing agent) into a vein to produce inflammation and fibrosis that destroys the lumen of the vein
Commonly performed to treat varicose veins

A

Sclerotherapy

24
Q

Procedure that alteres a vessel through surgery of dilation of the vessel using a balloon catheter

A

angioplasty

25
Q

surgical procedure that uses a vessel graft from another part of the body to bypass the blocked part of a coronary artery and restore blood supply to the heart muscle.

A

Coronary artery bypass graft (CABG)

26
Q

Dilation of an occluded vessel using a balloon catheter under fluoroscopic guidance

A

Percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA)

27
Q

Removal of material from an occluded vessel using a specifically designed catheter fitted with a cutting or grinding device

A

Atherectomy

28
Q

Removal and examination of a small piece of tissue for diagnostic purposes

A

biopsy

29
Q

Removal and examination of a segment of an arterial vessels wall to confirm inflammation of the wall or arteritis, a type of vasculitis

A

Arterial biopsy

30
Q

Destruction of conduction tissue of the heart to interrupt the abnormal conduction pathway causing the arrhythmia, thus allowing normal heart rhythm to resume

A

Catheter ablation

31
Q

Surgical separation of the leaflets of the mitral valve, which have fused together at their “commissures” (point of touching)

A

Commissurotomy

32
Q

Procedure used to remove or treat varicose veins. Laser’s heat coagulates blood inside the vessel, causing it to collapse and seal and the vessel dissolve within the body

A

laser ablation

33
Q

Tying a varicose vein followed by removal of the affected segment. Performed for heavily damaged veins

A

ligation and stripping

34
Q

Surgical procedure performed on or within the exposed heart, usually with the assistance of a heart-lung machine.

A

Open heart surgery

35
Q

Puncture of teh pericardium to remove excess fluid from the pericardial sac or to test for protein, sugar, and enzymes or determine the causative organism of pericarditis.

A

Pericardiocentesis

36
Q

Destruction of a blood clot using anticlotting agents called clot-buster, such as tissue plasminogen activator

A

Thrombolysis

37
Q

Infusion of a thrombolytic agent into a vessel to dissolve a blood clot

A

Intravascular thrombolysis

38
Q

Incision of a valve to increase the size of the opening; used in treating mitral stenosis

A

Valvotomy

39
Q

Puncture of a vein by a needle attached to a syringe or catheter to withdraw a specimen of blood; also called phlebotomy

A

Venipuncture
