Fatality following cardiac catheterization injury.
The widespread use of cardiac catheterization has revealed certain dangers inherent in the procedure when the catheter is advanced beyond the tricuspid valve. Ventricular and other ectopic rhythms are a well recognized risk, but less is known about the effect of damage to the endocardium produced by the catheter in man (Zimdahl, 1951). This paper presents in detail a case that terminated fatall...
متن کاملThoracic Radionecrosis Following Repeated Cardiac Catheterization
Radiodermatitis is a known complication in patients having undergone radiotherapy. It usually appears 2 to 5 years after irradiation. We are reporting on a case of radiodermatitis that occurred within months after coronary dilatation and stenting. It started with painful swelling, followed by a typical appearance on the skin surface. Histological finding confirmed the diagnosis. However, magnet...
متن کاملContrast-Induced Neurotoxicity following Cardiac Catheterization
We report a case of probable contrast-induced neurotoxicity that followed a technically challenging cardiac catheterization in a 69-year-old woman. The procedure had involved the administration of a large cumulative dose of an iodinated, nonionic contrast medium into the innominate artery: twelve hours following the catheterization, the patient developed a seizure followed by a left hemiplegia,...
متن کاملCardiac tamponade in constrictive pericarditis following cardiac catheterization.
Case Report A 62-year-old woman showed the signs of constrictive pericarditis. Increasing size of the abdomen for the past two or three years requiring paracentesis was her main complaint. She was in sinus rhythm, blood pressure 150/80 mm. Hg, and the electrocardiogram (Fig. 1A) showed normal P waves and flat or slightly upright T waves. On the radiograph the tranverse diameter of the heart was...
متن کاملAnalysis of Troponin I to determine myocardial injury following diagnostic cardiac catheterization
An increased level of serum cardiac troponin I is a specific biomarker for myocardial injury. The objective of this study was to evaluate the changes in cardiac troponin I levels to determine myocardial injury following diagnostic cardiac catheterization. A prospective cohort study was carried out between July 1 2006 and March 31 2012 among patients who underwent diagnostic cardiac catheterizat...
