title: [Use of a new tiltable angiography table for diagnostic and interventional CO2 angiography].
abstract: A new tiltable angiographic table was tested for its applicability during carbon dioxide angiography in 11 patients. A change of position could be performed easily without delaying the procedure time and improved image quality in 8 patients while carbon dioxide was applied as contrast agent. The new tiltable angio table--originally designed for surgical procedures performed within the angiosuite--proved to be of use also during percutaneous diagnostic procedures, particularly with carbon dioxide as a contrast agent.
