Angiografía coronaria - Medical Animation
MEDICAL ANIMATION TRANSCRIPT: La angiografía coronaria es un examen radiogrfico del corazn. Este examen permite ver los vasos sanguneos del corazn llamados arterias coronarias. Puede determinar si una sustancia cerosa, llamada placa, ha estrechado estos vasos. Adems, muestra qu tan bien funcionan las vlvulas y las cavidades del corazn. La angiografía coronaria a menudo se realiza a travs de un procedimiento mdico llamado cateterismo cardaco. Antes del procedimiento, lo colocan sobre una mesa con un dispositivo de rayos X, llamado fluoroscopio. Por lo general, el cateterismo cardaco se realiza a travs de la arteria radial de la mueca. Esta va normalmente tiene menos sangrado y complicaciones. A veces en su lugar se utiliza la arteria femoral de la ingle. Para comenzar, el doctor insensibiliza la piel de la mueca. Se inserta una aguja en la arteria radial. A travs de esta aguja, se pasa un alambre. El alambre se gua suavemente a travs de las arterias hasta el corazn. La aguja se saca y se reemplaza con un tubo flexible pequeo, llamado vaina. Esto permite el acceso a la arteria radial. Luego, sobre el alambre se desliza un tubo blando y flexible, llamado catter a travs de la vaina. El catter se desplaza hasta el corazn. Luego, el fluoroscopio se mueve por encima del pecho para tomar radiografas del corazn. El mdico usa las radiografas para controlar el catter. Es posible que sienta presin cuando se le coloque el alambre y la vaina, pero no lo sentir dentro de las arterias. Una vez que el catter llega hasta las arterias coronarias, el alambre se retira. La punta del catter se posiciona justo dentro de cada arteria para inyectar un tinte especial. Este tinte le permite al fluoroscopio tomar radiografas de las arterias llamadas angiogramas. Cuando las arterias se llenan de tinte, se puede identificar claramente cualquier obstruccin. Puede que se sienta acalorado o con leves nuseas cuando se inyecta el tinte. Al final del procedimiento, se quita el catter a travs de la mueca. Se coloca una banda de presin sobre la arteria radial para prevenir el sangrado. Luego, se quita la vaina. La banda de presin permanece en la mueca hasta que el sangrado se detenga. Para obtener ms informacin sobre la angiografa coronaria, hable con su proveedor de atencin mdica.

What attorneys say about MLA and The Doe Report:
"Medical illustrations are essential during trial for any medical malpractice case. The people at MLA have the uncanny ability of creating medical illustrations that simplify the most complex of medical concepts and human anatomy to a lay audience. The exhibits of MLA allow experts to easily describe complex concepts and human anatomy in a manner that could not be done otherwise.

In addition, their custom illustrations show in great detail the extent of injuries suffered and the devastating effects they have had on the client's anatomy. These custom illustration can show, side by side, the body before and after a catastrophic injury. The effect of this juxtaposition is unmatched by any testimony that can be adduced at the time of trial.

Even jurors after trial have commented on the ease with which they grasp medical concepts and anatomy once the MLA exhibits were introduced and used by my experts. Even judges who have "seen it all" are thoroughly impressed by the detail and sophistication of the illustrations.

I would not want to try a case without them."

"It is my experience that it's much more effective to show a jury what happened than simply to tell a jury what happened. In this day and age where people are used to getting information visually, through television and other visual media, I would be at a disadvantage using only words.

I teach a Litigation Process class at the University of Baltimore Law Schooland use [Medical Legal Art's] animation in my class. Students always saythat they never really understood what happened to [to my client] until theysaw the animation.

Animations are powerful communication tools that should be used wheneverpossible to persuade juries."
