Delayed Fracture of a PFM Nit-Occlud Flex Coil after Transcatheter Occlusion of Patent Ductus Arteriosus
We report the fracture of a 4×4 Nit-Occlud pfm coil in a child with patent ductus arteriosus (PDA), bicuspid aortic valve, and coarctation, detected three years after deployment without any adverse consequent. This report emphasizes the importance of adherence to the user guidelines of the company for the implementation of the device and also shows the significance of lateral chest X-ray in the...
متن کاملAortic obstruction caused by device occlusion of patent arterial duct.
A 2 year old girl is reported in whom deployment of the Amplatzer ductal occluder caused significant aortic obstruction, requiring surgical removal of the device. This case emphasises the need for careful echocardiographic and angiographic assessment of the position of the Amplatzer ductal occluder before and after detaching the device from its delivery system, with particular emphasis on the p...
متن کاملEmbolectomy in a rabbit acute arterial occlusion model using a novel electromechanical extraction device.
A prototype endovascular electromechanical clot-extraction device was fabricated using a combination of shape memory polymer and shape memory nickel-titanium alloy (nitinol). Five embolic vascular occlusions were created in 4 rabbits by injecting thermally coagulated blood through a 4F catheter in the common carotid artery. Angiography immediately after clot injection showed complete or partial...
متن کاملComprehensive cardiovascular MRI in hypertension: a UK single centre experience
Background MRI is a useful investigation in hypertensive patients, providing a non-invasive method for the assessment of the heart and potential secondary causes (including adrenal, aortic, renal and renovascular abnormalities). This is now more relevant with the introduction of therapies such as renal denervation in those with suitable anatomy. The ability to perform a single comprehensive ass...
متن کاملAcute arterial occlusion after total knee arthroplasty: a case report
Popliteal artery occlusion after total knee arthroplasty is rare (0.03-0.17%) but can lead to amputation if overlooked. We should carefully assess vascular patency by Doppler ultrasound and ankle brachial pressure index (ABPI) measurement before and after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) operation.
