Abstract:
Angiography relies on the use of contrast medium for visualization of the vessel. Iodinated contrast can be contraindicated in patients with renal impairment or iodinated contrast allergy, so carbon dioxide (CO2) gas can be a useful alternative. A number of technical and postural parameters can optimize CO2 angiography, and vasodilators can be used to improve imaging of peripheral vessels. Although CO2 has distinct advantages, the limitations of CO2 angiography must be well understood. Operators should be aware that CO2 angiography can lead to overestimation of vessel size and can lead to comp

Vasculitis is an inflammatory destructive process affecting blood vessels resulting in fibrinoid necrosis of the vessel wall that eventually can lead to occlusion of the vascular lumen and organ failure.

The vasculitides are a heterogeneous group of disorders that can range from mild inflammation of blood vessels in the skin, to organ- and life-threatening diseases. The term ‘vasculitis’ is a pathological description of blood vessel wall inflammation which leads to ischaemia and infarction of the target organs. Definitions and classifications of the primary vasculitides are mainly based on the predominant calibre of the blood vessels involved but incorporate clinical, pathological, and laboratory features.

A variety of diseases are related to or dependent on the vascular system. Several lines of evidence show that adequate manipulation of the vascular function in disease requires targeting and interfering with the same molecular pathways and cellular processes that act to form vessels during embryo or organ development. Therefore an understanding of the mechanisms that regulate vascular development in this non-pathological context is of major importance, since it may lead to better ways of treating vascular-related pathologies.

Arterial thrombosis also plays a crucial role in accelerating progression of atherosclerotic lesions. Chronic activation of endothelium, platelets, and leucocytes leads to plaque formation, while acute events, related to a flare-up of inflammation, precipitate plaque fissure a

The vascular resistance depends on the length of the vessel, blood viscosity, and, in particular, on the diameter of the vessel, as formulated in the Poiseuille-Hagen equation.

This chapter begins with a discussion of recent vascular research that has unveiled the complex interaction between exposure to risk factors and pathological changes at the vessel wall. Risk factors such as smoking or hyperlipidaemia first cause a pre-morbid phenotype with reversible dysfunction of flow-mediated vasodilation, known as endothelial dysfunction (ED). If exposure to risk factor(s) does not cease, ED develops into the first morphological vascular changes that finally lead to atherosclerosis. Cholesterol crystals have been shown to lead to pro-inflammatory activation of macrophages.
