ID: AML70712
This comprehensive animation, features three scenes of information describing circumstances surrounding a case where surgical intervention for a spinal cord angioma was deemed too risky to attempt due to the underlying factors. Scene 1- Anatomy of the heart and cerebral vasculature: Animation opens with male figure detailing a normal heart and ejection fraction of (75%) pumping blood into the vasculature and brain. Scene 2- Pre-existing cardiac complications with risk of cerebral embolism: This portion of the animation shows a damaged heart with lowered ejection fraction (25% and later 15%), with stents, and a Defibrillator. Additionally, it is noted that without Coumadin the potential for clots and brain damage increases.
