A novel skin dose monitor was used to measure radiation incident on maximal X-ray exposed skin during 135 diagnostic and 65 interventional coronary procedures. For the diagnostic studies (n β«Ψβ¬ 135), mean skin dose was 180 Ψ 64 mGy; for PTCA (n β«Ψβ¬ 35), it was 1021 Ψ 674 mGy, single stents (n β«Ψβ¬ 25
Automatic exposure control (AEC) is one of the most important characteristics for optimizing cardiac catheterization imaging; this allows the X-ray system to provide sufficient radiation output under a variety of clinical conditions so that a satisfactory image is obtained. AEC was assessed in 97 ca
and the participants in the VA Cooperative Study on Valvular Heart Disease' Complications were surveyed prospectively in 2,029 catheterizations performed on 1,483 patients from the 13 centers participating in the VA Cooperative Study on Valvular Heart Disease. Complications were reported in 6.9% of
