“…Since the procedure is invasive, there must be an awareness of its risks and complications. Details of these risks can be seen in Conti et al [18], but some of the most common ones are presented briefly here: (1) death, (2) arrhythmias (irregular heartbeat), (3) profound hypotension (low blood pressure), (4) complications involving the arterial system, (5) accidental perforations of the heart, (6) catheter problems, (7) embolism (plaque dislodging from one place and blocking another artery/vein), (8) bleeding and (9) ventricular fibrillation (rapid irregular beating of the ventricle). …”

“…Patients with only aortic valve disease tended to have a foramen ovale situated more cranially and to require less angulation. If passage down the atrial septum did not show the abrupt posterior movement of the catheter and needle as they crossed the limbic edge or if they were displaced by a distorted or bulging septum, the movement down the septum could be readily repeated by rotating the catheter and needle to the 12 o'clock position and, again with continual Shaw Figure I (1) After the catheter and needle have been placed in the lower halfof the right atrium, the curve is rotated to 12 o'clock (as seen from below) and then rotated between 10 o'clock and 2 o'clock as the catheter and needle are advanced to the top of the right atrium.…”

After a Brockenbrough or Mullins transseptal catheter had been advanced into the lower half of the right atrium through a J shaped guidewire, the guidewire was removed and the curved tip Brockenbrough needle was advanced so that its tip lay just within the catheter. The needle was rotated so that the direction arrow at its hub faced 12 o'clock as viewed from below (fig 1). With the needle and catheter constantly moved from side to side between the 10 and 2 o'clock positions, the catheter and needle were advanced to the top of the right atrium and then rotated posteromedially (fig 1). The continual side to side movement as the catheter and needle advanced to the top of the right atrium immediately detected any tendency to snag on the atrial wall. Snagging rarely occurred because when the inferior vena cava enters at the posterior aspect of right atrium there is an anterior space in which this anterior staircase movement can take place (fig 2)

“…The risk of death from coronary arteriography has been reported to range from 0% to 0.3% and the risk of major complications to range from 1.0% to 2.0% [1][2][3][4][5][6][7]. Most studies have included diverse populations with varying levels of severity and acute illness [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][13][14][15][16]26].…”

“…Most studies have included diverse populations with varying levels of severity and acute illness [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][13][14][15][16]26]. Angiography in patients with previous CABG surgery is usually a more lengthy procedure than routine diagnostic coronary arteriography as multiple conduits, in addition to the native vessels, require selective injection.…”
