Q

What is angle Theta in coronary intervention

A

Angle between the JL and opposite wall of Aorta .The inferior angle.

If angle Theta is 90 degree the Cos Theta is 0 So force of dislodgement is less. So greater the angle better the support.
That’s why in TRI JL3.5 gives better support than JL 4 . As angle Theta will be more

Q

Persistent thrombus in PCI. What to do

A

If wire is in lumen,
A. For large thrombus- Thromectomy using Angiojet device
B. For smaller and distal thrombus-Aspiration
If still thrombus…
C. Can give intracoronary rTPA 5mg ever 5 mts to a max dose of 50 mg ? some say 25 mg max
Then if coronary is clean Heparin infusion for 24 hrs and maintain ACT above 200
If coronary is not clean (thrombus or distal flow suboptimal)Intracoronary bolus of 2b3a followed by infusion for IV 12 hours

Q

Order and site of putting grafts in CABG

Q

How to change a guide with wire across a lesion

A
  1. Extend the wire
  2. While injecting CONTRAST from a syringe; pull Guide out retaining PTCA wire.
    Then insert the new guide through 0.035 wire keeping PTCA wire in position.
    Then finally reinsert the Guide though a balloon catheter

Q

D2B time in PPCI

A

Less than 90 mts

Further reduction may not result in better outcomes
