Diagnostic and interventional cardiovascular catheterization

根据临床需要，在NIH临床中心为NHLBI和其他机构的患者提供心血管插管服务。 这包括下班时间的紧急心血管护理。 这还包括合作研究者进行侵入性和非侵入性方案所需的侵入性心血管服务。 我们提供咨询门诊住院心血管护理，与NHLBI咨询心脏病学服务协调。 我们还提供血管医学咨询服务和非侵入性成像服务。 我们提供咨询性影像指导，例如影像指导报告，以帮助中心安全执行经腔静脉入路。 我们的部分动机是提供临床心血管护理。 我们的部分动机是保持和提高工作人员的技能，医生，护士，技术人员都需要提供良好的研究护理。 我们还通过密切合作前往外部医疗中心，将导管介入的外部进展，特别是在结构性心脏介入领域，带回NHLBI内部研究部门。 此外，我们前往外部医疗中心教授NIH开发的技术，例如经腔静脉进入主动脉以实现经导管主动脉瓣置换术，以及LAMPOON。 两个例子包括华盛顿儿童国家医疗中心的NHLBI合作研究计划，底特律密歇根州亨利福特医院的NHLBI合作研究计划。

Cardiac and vascular catheterization services are provided to patients of NHLBI and other institutes at NIH Clinical Center based on clinical need. This includes off-hours emergency cardiovascular care. This also includes invasive cardiovascular services required for the conduct of invasive and non-invasive protocols from collaborating investigators. We provide consultative outpatient inpatient cardiovascular care, in coordination with the NHLBI consultative cardiology service. We also contribute vascular medicine consultative services and non-invasive imaging services. We provide consultative image guidance, for example image guidance reports to help centers safely perform transcaval access. Part of our motivation is to provide clinical cardiovascular care. Part of our motivation is to maintain and enhance the skills of staff physician, nurse, technologist alike required to provide excellent investigational care. We also travel to outside medical centers through close collaboration to bring outside advances in catheter intervention, specifically in the field of structural heart intervention, back into the NHLBI Division of Intramural Research. In addition, we travel to outside medical centers to teach techniques developed at NIH, such as transcaval access to the aorta to enable transcatheter aortic valve replacement, and LAMPOON. Two examples include the NHLBI collaborative research program at Childrens National Medical Center in Washington DC, the NHLBI collaborative research program at Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit MI.
