Rotational Angiography (RA) and Three-dimensional Imaging (3-DRA): an Available Clinical Tool
Overview

Being able to accurately choose an optimal view for stent positioning, non foreshortened length and to avoid side branches is imperative during therapeutic procedures. Traditional imaging limitations may include the selection of an incorrectly sized stent, inaccurate placement, and/or the need for additional stents. With the use of newer acquisition techniques and three-dimensional (3-D) modeling/reconstructions this can be minimized. We present a case in which with the assistance of 3-D and its computer derived optimal view, and optimal length, a significant amount of vessel foreshortening was eliminated therefore improving the procedural outcome.
