Guidewire Breakage during Neurointerventional Procedures: a Report of Two Cases
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report on two cases of microguidewire breakage that occurred during endovascular treatment of intracranial aneurysms. The microguidewire can be broken when a part of the wire is stuck due to vascular tortuosity, and, subsequently, application of excessive rotational movement. The mechanical and physical properties of a microguidewire are also important factors in microguidewire breakage. We also suggest technical tips for avoidance of this problem.

Guidewire Breakage: An Unusual Complication of Anterior Odontoid Cannulated Screw Fixation
The preferred treatment of a type II odontoid fracture is anterior odontoid screw fixation to preserve the cervical spine range of movement. This case report describes an unusual complication of guidewire breakage during anterior odontoid cannulated screw fixation for a 52-year-old patient who presented with a type II odontoid fracture after a motor vehicle accident. The distal segment of the g...
متن کاملEndoscopic Retrieval of a Broken Guidewire During Spinal Surgery.
Since the percutaneous posterolateral approach in treating lumbar disc herniation was introduced in 1973, percutaneous endoscopic lumbar discectomy (PELD) has become a routine minimally invasive spinal procedure. However, as clinical evidence accumulated, several complications of PELD have raised our concerns, including the intraoperative injury to neural, vascular structures and failure of sur...
متن کاملSuccessful removal of kinked J-guide wire under fluoroscopic guidance during central venous catheterization -A case report-
Guidewire-associated complications that occur during the process of central venous catheterization include its kinking, looping, knotting and breakage. The removal of a looped or knotted guidewire is problematic because it can cause vessel damage, major hemorrhage, or embolization of a fractured guidewire. We report a case of guidewire kinking and its successful removal under fluoroscopic guida...

Cerebral angiography through transfemoral approach is preferred in most of the situation though in cardiovascular surgery transradial angiography is accounted as the superior standard. The present study aimed at presenting our early experience of transradial approach to cerebral angiography and intervention of a patient with basilar tip aneurysm that had inappropriate vasculature to perform rou...
متن کاملEfficacy of endovascular surgery for ruptured aneurysms with vasospasm of the parent artery.
INTRODUCTION In the presence of vasospasm it is recommended that surgical clipping for a ruptured aneurysm should be delayed until it disappears, but this may be associated with re-rupture of the aneurysm resulting in a poor outcome. The indications for endovascular coil embolization in such cases are discussed. METHODS Since November 2002, endovascular coil embolization has been used in 18 c...
