Esophagoaortography

Esophago-ortography is a method of x-ray examination that allows you to visualize the anatomical structures of the esophagus and aorta. It is used to diagnose diseases and assess the condition of these organs, as well as to plan surgical interventions.

To perform esophago-aortography, special equipment is used that allows you to obtain clear images of the esophagus and aorta on an x-ray. The patient lies on his back, and the specialist inserts a thin catheter into the esophagus, which is connected to an X-ray tube. A contrast agent is then injected through a catheter into the aorta, which improves the visibility of the vascular system.

After the contrast is administered, the patient remains motionless for several minutes while the necessary images are taken. The catheter is then removed and the patient returns to the clinic for further examination.

Esophago-aortography is one of the most informative methods for studying the esophagus and aorta, which allows you to diagnose various diseases and pathologies of these organs. In addition, it can be used to plan surgical operations on these organs, such as resection of an aortic aneurysm or removal of malignant tumors of the esophagus.

In general, esophago-aortography is an effective method for diagnosing and treating diseases of the esophagus and aorta and is an important tool in the work of a radiologist.

Esophagophlebography is an intravenous radiocontrast procedure, a method of X-ray examination with contrast, which allows you to visualize the lumen of the esophagus, vessels in the neck and upper half of the chest (aortic arch area). It is performed through the blood vessels located in the neck. The contrast agent is injected into a vein in the arm or leg. Next, by tilting the head forward, the contrast enters the lumen of the esophagus and penetrates through the cervical arteries into the carotid artery.

The use of this procedure in endoscopic urology helps to clarify the severity of congenital pathology of the esophagus in children. Radiologically diagnosed conditions: Esophageal diverticula. They form in areas of the esophagus where contrast was not performed. Sometimes unilateral diverticula are found. Narrowing of the esophagus of various etiologies. The consequences of scars, burns, tumors, achalasia and other pathological changes lead to the appearance of narrowings. Constrictions cause dysphagia, esophagitis, and heartburn. This technique allows
