- 3. FIRST CARDIAC CATHETERISATION ■ In1929 ■ Werner Forssmann ■ Rubber catheter ■ Through his own antecubital Vein ■ Upto the pulmonary artery 3
- 4. HISTORY OF CORONARY CATHETERIZATION Selectivecannulation of coronory or injection of dye into coronary arteries were considered unsafe ■ Random "Brute Force" Approach – Upto 50 cc contrast in 1-2 sec ■ Phasic injections – electronic pressure injectors timed with cardiac cycle for intentional diastolic injection ■ Methods of reducing cardiac output – Acetylcholine arrest – Elevation of intrabronchial pressure ■ Occlusion aortography ■ Differential opacification of aortic stream 4
- 5. FIRST SELECTIVE CORONARY ANGIOGRAM ■Was an accident ■ Dr Mason Sones in 1958 ■ After withdrawing a catheter after ventriculogram cannulated the RCA unknowingly ■ When contrast was injected for an aortogram selective opacification of RCA noted ■ Designed Sones catheter and popularized the technique ■ Several preformed catheters were later designed. 5
- 6. DIAGNOSTIC CATHETERS Angiography Pressure monitoring Oxygensaturation monitoring 6
- 7. ANGIOGRAPHIC CATHETERS Flush • Noselective canulation of vessel • Contrast injection through multiple side holes • Uniform injection without recoil • Tip usually rounded to avoid entering a vessel and to keep shaft in centre • Ex Pigtal catheter Selective • Selectively canulation of vessel • Rotational stiffness enough to selectively seek a vessel orifice • Enough flexibility to advance into the vessel • Flow rate not important as contrast volume used is less. • Ex – preformed coronary catheters 7
- 8. CORONARY CATHETERS Diagnostic • Thickershaft • Internal dm Smaller • Tapering tip • Less Reinforced construction ( 2 layers) Guide • Thinner shaft • Internal dm larger • Non tapering tip • More Reinforced construction ( 3 layers) 8
- 9. IDEAL CHARACTERISTICS OF ACATHETER ■ Better Torque Control – Increase Outer diameter – Reinforced construction ■ Pushability – Increase Outer diameter – Stiffer Material – Decreasing overall part length ■ Flexibility – Decrease Outer diameter – Material with less modulus of elasticity – Increasing overall part length ■ Trackability ■ Radio-opacity ■ Atraumatic Tip ■ Low Surface frictional resistance ■ Kink resistance 9
- 10. PARTS 10 A) TIP LENGTH– Increased length offers more stability in target vessel at the cost of maneuverability in the parent vessel. B) PRIMARY CURVE – angle of the target vessel from its parent artery. C) SECONDARY CURVE -- width of the parent vessel. D) TERTIARY CURVE –normal curvature of the parent vessel. E) CATHETER LENGTH – Usually 100 or 110 cm
- 11. Over bent &Under bent catheters Underbent- Angle of catheter tip is larger outside the body than inside ■ Difficult to manipulate, shape difficult to predict ■ Difficult to do deep engagement Over bent- Angle of catheter tip is smaller outside the body, than inside ■ Shape of overbent inside body-easy to predict ■ Easier to manipulate 11
- 12. SIZE MEASUREMENT: FRENCH CATHETERSCALE: The French catheter scale is commonly used to measure the outer diameter of cylindrical medical instruments D(mm) = Fr/3 Most commonly in adults -- Diagnostic Catheters of 5 – 7 Fr size 12
- 13. ■ Thick walled- –Better pushability and torque transmission – Accentuates pressure waveform-systolic overshoot & diastolic dips. ■ Thin walled _ – Improves monitoring, blood sampling & flushing abilities, decrease thrombogenicity. – Disadvantage – less torque control, not suitable for high pressure injection. WALL THICKNESS 13

- 15. CHARACTERISTICS Flexibility & Stiffness(Elastic coefficient) Friction coefficient – Vascular Trauma Thrombogenicity Tensile Strength (Memory) Moisture & Drug absorption Mouldabilty 15
- 16. ■ Very maneuverable& flexible. ■ Covered by polyurethane coating – reduce vascular trauma. ■ Some have Nylon core-increase bursting pressure ■ Nylon – great mechanical & physical strength, reduced friction coefficient – achieve high flow rate of fluids ■ Eg- NIH Catheter , Original Sones Catheter. DACRON 16
- 17. ■ Excellent memory ■Softer than polyethylene or Teflon – Less vascular trauma ■ Increased thrombogenicity ■ Reshaped if immersed in boling water. ■ Eg – pigtail angiographic (cordis) catheters & original judkins catheters. POLYURETHANE 17
- 18. ■ Stiffness inbetweenPolyurethane & Teflon. ■ More Thrombogenic than PVC, polyurethane ■ Heat Mouldablity good ■ Eg – pigtail angiographic catheters, judkins catheters POLYETHYLENE 18
- 19. ■ Softest &flexible among all ■ High friction coefficient- spasm. ■ Increased thrombogenicity. ■ Very poor tensile strength (memory) ■ Cant be reformed. ■ Most hydrophilic. ■ Drugs absorbed- NTG, insulin, diazepam,thiopentone. ■ Eg- Balloon-tip flow directed catheters. POLYVINYL CHLORIDE 19
- 20. ■ Stiffest –no suitable for selective catheters ■ Poor memory. ■ Low friction coefficient. ■ Eg – Brockenbrough catheters, transducer-tip catheters & introducer sheaths. TEFLON 20
- 21. CATHETER LAYERS 21 Outer Layer Reinforcement–usually stainless steel braid Determines torque and Kink resistance Outer coating to reduce friction and thrombogenisity
- 22. ■ TIP: Taperingtip for Diagnostic catheters ■ HUB: Metal or plastic, larger than catheter, tapered hubs – easier insertion of guidewire. TIP & HUB 22
- 23. SIDE HOLES Advantages Preventcatheter damping (occlusion of the coronary ostium) Allow additional blood flow out of tip, to perfuse the artery. Avoid catastrophic dissections in the ostium of the artery Avoids Disengagement during Injections Disadvantages False sense of security because now, aortic pressure, and not the coronary pressure is being monitored. Suboptimal opacification Makes catheter tip weak - kinking at side holes 23
