Effect of an optimized X-ray blanket design on operator radiation dose in cardiac catheterization based on real-world angiography
Davidsen, Cedric; Bolstad, Kirsten Hansine Helene Nygaard; Ytre-Hauge, Kristian Smeland; Samnøy, Andreas Tefre; Vikenes, Kjell; Tuseth, Vegard (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Background There is increasing concern and focus in the interventional cardiology community on potential long term health issues related to radiation exposure and heavy wearable protection. Optimized shielding measures ... -
Efficacy and User Experience of a Novel X-Ray Shield on Operator Radiation Exposure during Cardiac Catheterization: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Davidsen, Cedric; Ytre-Hauge, Kristian Smeland; Samnøy, Andreas Tefre; Vikenes, Kjell; Lancellotti, Patrizio; Tuseth, Vegard (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)BACKGROUND: Radiation shielding is mandatory during cardiac catheterization, but there is a need to improve efficacy and ease of use. METHODS: The aim of the study was to assess the shielding effect and user feedback ... -
Giant right ventricular outflow tract thrombus in hereditary spherocytosis: a case report
Davidsen, Cedric; Larsen, Terje H.; Gerdts, Eva; Lønnebakken, Mai Tone (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016-04-26)Background: In hereditary spherocytosis with severe anemia, splenectomy is a recommended treatment. However, the spleen carries an important role both in immune function and coagulation. The increased risk of bacterial ... -
Operator radiation exposure in cardiac catheterization
Davidsen, Cedric (Doctoral thesis, 2024-03-22)Introduksjon Røntgenveiledete hjerteprosedyrer utsetter både pasient og operatør for ioniserende stråling. Selv om operatørdosen er en brøkdel av pasientdosen, kan en operatør utføre tusenvis av prosedyrer i løpet av en ... -
Temporal trends in X-ray exposure during coronary angiography and percutaneous coronary intervention
Davidsen, Cedric; Bolstad, Kirsten Hansine Helene Nygaard; Nygaard, Ellisif; Vikenes, Kjell; Rotevatn, Svein; Tuseth, Vegard (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Background. Percutaneous coronary intervention exposes patient and staff to ionizing radiation. Although staff only receive a small fraction of patient dose through scatter radiation, there are concerns about the potential ...
