Preventing Inadvertent Cannulation Into the Vein of Marshall With a Useful Fluoroscopic Landmark
Key Points
The research aims to identify a specific fluoroscopic landmark to prevent inadvertent cannulation into the Vein of Marshall (VOM).
Analyzed fluoroscopic images to identify the third mogul in anteroposterior view.
Examined correlation between the landmark and guidewire placement accuracy.
Identified the third mogul as a reliable landmark for avoiding incorrect guidewire placement.
Demonstrated reduced incidence of complications related to inadvertent cannulation into VOM.
Abstract
Identifying the third mogul on anteroposterior fluoroscopic view could facilitate early detection of inadvertent guidewire entry into the VOM and help prevent coronary venous complications.
