Abstract
Image-guided interventional techniques have markedly altered the manag ement of many cardiothoracic problems in the intensive care unit. Thes e techniques are less invasive, more patient friendly, and cost-effect ive. This article covers venous line placement and management, transpl eural and transpulmonary biopsy and drainage procedures and interventi ons for variceal bleeding, hemoptysis, massive pulmonary embolism, and veno-occlusive disease.
