Acute Brachial Artery Occlusion

Acute Brachial Artery Occlusion in an Elderly Patient With Acute Myocardial Ischemia

We present a case of left upper extremity paresis secondary to acute brachial artery occlusion in an elderly female with active non-ST segment elevation myocardial ischemia (NSTEMI) in the setting of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. The patient was initially suspected to have a cerebrovascular attack (CVA); however, computed tomography (CT) head was negative for acute stroke. The diagnosis was c...

Acute superior mesenteric artery occlusion complicated by basilar artery occlusion

Acute mesenteric ischemia is a rare cause of abdominal pain with a very high mortality rate. Vague presentation and often misleading clinical findings make the diagnosis elusive. Here, a unique case of complete superior mesenteric artery occlusion further complicated by basilar artery occlusion is illustrated.

A case of acute brachial artery occlusion after transradial coronary intervention

In 2010, a 49-year-old man was admitted to our hospital with chest pain. Angiography via the radial approach was performed. Acute brachial artery occlusion was present after the procedure. By transcatheter thrombolysis, brachial artery occlusion was recanalized. Transcatheter thrombolysis seemed to be effective and safe.

[Central retinal artery occlusion secondary to brachial cineangiocoronography: case report].

The authors report a case of a patient with coronary insufficiency who developed central retinal artery occlusion following cardiac catheterism through the brachial artery and cineangiocoronography. This procedure can lead to embolic phenomena like that which was reported.
