Abstract:
DSA was done in 133 examinations of 128 patients during 2 years consist of 9 examination of IV DSA and 124examination of selective cardiac DSA after cardiac catheterization. Open heart surgery was performed in 90patients and 12 patients showed discrepancy between pre-and post operative diagnosis, showing a total 86.7% ofdiagnostic accuracy with DSA. We experienced the significant reduction in dose of contrast media, 30-40% of doseof conventional cardiac heart disease. DSA is an accurate simple and safe method in evaluation of cardiac disases.
