Why the study?
Does angiocardiography by the Robb-Steinberg method provide satisfactory visualization of the heart and major blood vessels?
Does angiocardiography by the Robb-Steinberg method provide satisfactory visualization of the heart and major blood vessels?
The Robb-Steinberg angiocardiography method requires two injections of 70% diodrast for satisfactory visualization of the heart and major blood vessels.
May require repeated contrast boluses for adequate cardiac opacification; leaves open protocol optimization with modern agents.
This report summarizes the examination of 100 persons by the Robb-Steinberg method.1The patient material comprises the groups included in the accompanying table. Many of the patients suffered from other ailments, such as hemiplegia due to hypertensive cardiovascular disease, diabetes mellitus, nephritis and the like. However, this report is limited to the angiocardiographic study of the heart and major blood vessels. TECHNIC The angiocardiographic technic described by Robb and Steinberg was employed throughout the course of this study. Circulation time tests were determined by injection of solutions of ether, macasol,2dehydrocholic acid, sodium cyanide and saccharin. The results of these studies enabled us to calculate approximately the time at which the radiopaque substance would arrive at various locations. A 70 per cent solution of diodrast (30 to 50 cc.) was injected intravenously and films were taken at predetermined intervals. Two such injections were found necessary for satisfactory visualization.
