The Effectiveness and Safety between Monoplane and Biplane Imaging During Coronary Angiographies.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Avoiding unnecessary radiation exposure is the main issue during coronary angiography. Herein, we aimed to investigate whether performing coronary angioplasties with monoplane or biplane imaging most effectively reduces radiation load and shortens the procedure time.

Methods

We retrospectively enrolled 294 patients who required either coronary angiography or coronary angioplasty. They were divided into groups of only diagnostic angiography, one-, two- or three-vessel diseases. The fluoroscopy dose-area product (DAP), skin dose, fluoroscopy and procedure time were recorded.

Results

Among the studied patients, 148 received the procedures with monoplane imaging. Compared with the radiation exposure in the monoplane group, there were significant increases in DA
