Abstract
The advantages of the vascular lab (VL) are a specialized knowledgeable team and a dedicated equipment which is transferrable to the procedure room to facilitate the procedure and gather information about the procedure endpoints. In this article, Registered Vascular Technologists (RVT) from various institutions discuss the basic and the complex ways the VL can be used inside a procedure room. The advantages of the vascular lab (VL) are a specialized knowledgeable team and dedicated equipment which is transferrable to the procedure room to facilitate the procedure and gather information about procedure endpoints. Such expertise may improve imaging guided access, enable complicated lesion crossing, and provide information about the success of the procedure. Below are the reports from practicing registered vascular technologists at the forefront of patient vascular care within institutions that have adopted the mobile intraprocedural VL idea in basic and complex real-world ways.
期刊介绍:
Interventional radiology is an area of clinical diagnosis and management that is highly technique-oriented. Therefore, the format of this quarterly journal, which combines the visual impact of an atlas with the currency of a journal, lends itself perfectly to presenting the topics. Each issue is guest edited by a leader in the field and is focused on a single clinical technique or problem. The presentation is enhanced by superb illustrations and descriptive narrative outlining the steps of a particular procedure. Interventional radiologists, neuroradiologists, vascular surgeons and neurosurgeons will find this a useful addition to the clinical literature.
