👉 The start fluid, also known as the initial fluid or pre-embolistic fluid, is a critical component in the context of cardiovascular physiology and interventional procedures. It refers to the fluid that initially fills the lumen of blood vessels before any significant flow occurs, typically seen in conditions like aortic dissection or during the early stages of embolization. This fluid plays a crucial role in maintaining vessel patency and pressure, and its presence can indicate the severity of vascular abnormalities. In interventional cardiology, understanding the start fluid is essential for procedures like angioplasty or stent placement, as it helps guide the precise delivery of therapeutic agents and devices to ensure optimal outcomes.
