Radial artery avulsion - a rare complication of radial access
نویسندگان
چکیده
The radial access is widely used for cardiac catheterization and angioplasty, with advantages such as decreased risk of bleeding and vascular complications. This case reports on a rare complication during cardiac catheterization by radial access: radial artery endothelial tissue avulsion through the catheter and its embolization to the left anterior descending artery, which was resolved by manual aspiration of the embolized fragment. This complication may be related to the specific anatomical characteristics of the patient’s radial artery. © 2015 Sociedade Brasileira de Hemodinâmica e Cardiologia Intervencionista.

Rare Multiple Variations in the Radial Anrtery of an Iranian Cadaver
Radial artery is a muscular artery that normally aroses from brachial artery in the elbow.The radial artery is increasingly being used as a coronary bypass graft. The aim of this paper is to report details of rare multiple variations in the radial artery of a male Iranian cadaver. In routine dissection, it was observed that the right side radial artery arose from brachial artery in the arm. It ...
متن کاملRetention and fracture of a hydrophilic radial artery sheath due to severe spasm
Worldwide, there is increasing interest in transradial intervention, as it appears safer, more cost-effective and is the preferred access route for patients over transfemoral intervention. The favorable neuroanatomical relationships of the radial artery mean that access-site complications are extremely rare. However, radial access-site complications do occur and we report a case of radial arter...
متن کاملRadial Artery Pseudoaneurysm: A Rare Complication after Transradial Coronary Angiography
The transradial approach has recently been recommended as the first choice to reduce access-site vascular complications during percutaneous coronary diagnostic and interventional procedures [1]. It may be preferred in anticoagulated patients to avoid those vascular complications associated with the femoral approach, which are compounded by systemic anticoagulation [2]. The radial artery pseudoa...
متن کاملPaper: A Case Report of a Rare Variation in Arising Branches of Brachial Artery
Variations in the arterial pattern of the upper limb are abundant and diverse and have been observed frequently either in cadaver dissection or in clinical practice and reports. In the most of these reports, radial or ulnar arteries were commonly involved, which can be damaged during surgical procedures. This report presents a case of a rare variation in arising branches of brachial artery. Dur...
متن کاملIncidence of radial artery occlusion in radial angiography compared with snuffbox angiography
Background: Transradial access is one of the main access techniques in angiography. This method is technically more difficult as it is associated with radial artery occlusion. Radial artery cannulation from the dorsal surface of the hand in the snuffbox area has been introduced as a suitable solution to overcome some of the disadvantages of the standard radial artery method. This study was cond...
