Objective To analyze the imaging manifestation and feature of congenial pulmonary arteriovenous fistulas (CPAVF) and observe the effect of endovascular treatment. Methods The plain films, CT and DSA of CPAVF retrospective- ly were analyzed. The effect of transcatheter embolization with coil was observed by follow-up. Results Feeding artery was pulmonary artery branches in five cases and was branchial artery in one case. The images of all cases were divided into three types: simple type-3 cases, complex type-2 cases and diffuse type-1 case. Both CT and DSA could give the correct diagnosis, however 3 cases were diagnosed wrongly by X-ray. Three cases were underwent transcatheter endovascular em- bolism with coils, and one case were done three times. Systemic arterial oxygen saturation improved strikingly in two pa- tients after treatment, and the symptoms of hemoptsis disappeared immediately after branchial arterial embolism in other case. Conclusion DSA was the best means in the diagnosis of PAVF. CT and three-dimensional reconstruction can be giv- en correct and direct diagnosis for big PAVF, but can not replace DSA in the diagnosis of small PAVF. Percutaneous tran- scatheter endovascular embolism with coils is an effective and safe treatment for PAVF, but it is only a palliative therapy for diffuse PAVF.

Objective To establish an evaluation index system for the quality and safety of the specialized nursing care in cardiovascular medicine. Methods To screen and evaluate the safety quality evaluation index via a group discussion with Delphi method and analytic hierarchy process referenced to the literatures from the evaluation index of domestic nursing safety quality (NSQ)and on the base ofthe factor quality- quality of links-final quality3-dimensional quality structure theory by Donabedian. Results The first and second round of expert consultation and the recovery rate were 97.05% (33/34) and 94.12% (32/34) respectibely, the effective rate was 100%;The authoritative coefficient of expert of the safety quality evaluation index of the specialized nursing care is 0.867 and 0.879 respectively. In the first round, the average of the importance rating is 3.50-5.00, the standard deviation is 0-0.042 and full mark rate is 34.10%-100%. In the second round, the average of the importance rating is 3.80-4.70, the standard deviation is 0~0.047 and full mark rate is 31.60%-100%. The fluctuation degree of the first round is more than 0.10 with a low coordination degree. However, the fluctuation degree of the second round result is less than 0.10. The coordination coefficients from all qustionnair scores by experts in the two roudns are 0.169 and 0.286. The difference was statistically significant according to the chi-square analysis (X2=6.842, P=0.002). The NSQ evaluatin index included 3 first degree indexes (weight coefficient including 0.2684,link qualing 0.6144,and quality 0.1172),16 second degree indicators (weight coefficient 0.034~0.0859) and 61 third degree indexes ( weight coefficient 0.034~0.0859) and 61 third degree indexes (weight coefficient 0.0052~0.0412). Conclusions This paper preliminary established a specialied NSQ evaluation index with factor quality- quality of links-final quality 3-dimensional quality structure in the field of cardiovascular medicine, which is based on Delphi method and analytic hierarchy process. NSQ provides a measurement tool for nurses in CME.
