How does radio frequency closure treat varicose veins?
the surgeon inserts a catheter into the varicose vein through a small puncture. The catheter is used to deliver radio frequency energy to the wall of the vein, which causes the vein to contract and seal itself shut.
What is the best angle for needle insertion during venipuncture and why?
Because the goal of the procedure is to place a plastic catheter into the vein. If you insert the needle/catheter vertically you will go through the vein. If you angle on insertion once placement in the vein is confirmed you can slide the hollow catheter off of the needle into the vein. The veins used for most IV's normally lie just under the skin. For this reason a shallow angle of insertion is used.
The diagnostic procedure in which catheter is passed into a vein or artery and then guided into the heart as what?
Cardiac Catheterization
What is the procedure in which a catheter is passed into a vein or an artery and is guided into the heart?
The passing of a catheter into the heart is known as cardiac catheterization. This procedure is performed by a cardiologist in a catheterization lab, commonly called a cath lab. A long, thin tube is placed through a blood vessel to the heart.
How far should you insert the umbilical vein catheter?

How do you start an IV in a dog?
Most veterinarians first try to place an IV catheter in the front leg, in the superficial vein that runs over the metacarpal bones of the lower forelimb. With a dog in sternal recumbency (lying on his chest bone), you would take your non-dominant hand and use the thumb to apply pressure both down and laterally to stabilize the vein and occlude it so it fills with blood and becomes easier to see. In long-haired dogs, you may need to use some isopropyl alcohol on the area to wet the hair down and allow you to see the vein. In most practices, a technician or assistant will restrain the dog and 'roll the vein' for the veterinarian or technician placing the catheter - this allows the veterinarian to control the paw and increase the venous blood pressure through squeezing the paw. Once you can visualize the vein, place the point of the IV catheter against the skin so that you can see the opening in the needle tip. Firmly and smoothly drive the catheter forward, breaking the skin and the wall of the vein and feeding the IV cathether down the vein. Once the catheter tip is in, release the downward pressure on the vein to allow blood flow to resume; otherwise you end up with a bloody mess and can blow the vein out. Use narrow strips of medical tape to secure the catheter in place and attach fluids or whatever need injecting to the catheter.
How is myocardial biopsy done?
A long, flexible tube, called a catheter, is inserted into a vein and threaded up into the heart. The doctor can guide the catheter by watching its movement on a TV monitor showing an x-ray image of the area. The tip of the catheter is fitted with.
How do you describe a portal vein bypass?
The purpose of portal vein bypass surgery is to lower portal hypertension.internal bleeding caused by portal hypertension occurs in about 40% of patients with cirrhosis.Portal vein bypass.is performed on these surviving patients to control bleeding.
What is central venous catheter ,and why is it used?
What is central venous catheter ,and why is it used? A central venous catheter, also known as a central line, is a tube that doctors place in a large vein in the neck, chest, groin, or arm to give fluids, blood, or medications or to do medical tests quickly. These long, flexible catheters empty out in or near the heart, allowing the catheter to give the needed treatment within seconds. You may be familiar with standard intravenous lines (IVs). Central lines are much different from standard IVs that are used to give medicine into a vein near the skin’s surface, usually for short periods of time. A central venous catheter can remain for weeks or months, and some patients receive treatment through the line several times a day. Central venous catheters are important in treating many conditions, particularly in intensive care units (ICUs).

How is cirrhosis linked to portal vein bypass?
Massive internal bleeding caused by portal hypertension occurs in about 40% of patients with cirrhosis. It is initially fatal in at least half of these patients. Portal vein bypass.is performed on these surviving patients to control bleeding.
