Fracture of a guiding catheter in a tortuous iliac artery and its retrieval by a larger sheath.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Intravascular fracture of catheters, especially guiding catheters, is uncommon. We present an unusual case in which a guide twisted and broke in a tortuous iliac artery during manipulation of the guiding catheter with a 0.014 inch wire firmly trapped inside and was retrieved by a larger sheath.

Brachial access technique for aortoiliac stenting revisited
We report a modified technique to perform iliac artery stenting through the brachial artery access. A 6F Brite tip sheath (Cordis, Jonhson & Jonhson Medical, Miami Lakes, FL, USA) is inserted into either brachial artery and a standard 4F Judkins Right diagnostic catheter was inserted over a 260 cm 0.038” Terumo Stiff wire (Terumo Corp, Tokyo, Japan) through the sheath. The catheter is navigated...
متن کاملBroken Guidewire Fragment in the Radio-brachial Artery During Transradial Sheath Placement: Percutaneous Retrieval via Femoral Approach
A case in which a 0.014" wire was broken during the sheath placement in the radial artery for transradial coronary procedure is described here, and a successful retrieval of it using conventional methods is also described. Through the left femoral artery, the 6 Fr guiding catheter was advanced down to the tip of the broken wire at the brachial artery, and the distal part of the broken guidewire...

BACKGROUND AND SIGNIFICANCE We describe a method by which to efficiently and atraumatically achieve distal positioning of a flexible guiding catheter beyond extreme cervical tortuosity using a hypercompliant temporary occlusion balloon. METHODS A retrospective review of a prospective neuroendovascular database was used to identify cases in which a hypercompliant balloon catheter (Hyperform or...
متن کاملBasal NO locally modulates human iliac artery function in vivo.
We demonstrated previously that endogenous NO influences large-artery distensibility in the ovine hindlimb. However, the role of basal NO in larger human conduit arteries is controversial. The aim of this study was to investigate whether basal production of NO, acting locally, influences iliac artery distensibility in humans. Distensibility was assessed by intra-arterial measurement of the puls...
متن کاملSuccessful retrieval of an unexpanded coronary stent from the left main coronary artery during primary percutaneous coronary intervention.
INTRODUCTION Dislodgement and embolization of the new generation of coronary stents before their deployment are rare but could constitute a very serious complication. CASE OUTLINE We report a case of a stent dislodgement into the left main coronary artery during the primary coronary intervention of infarct related left circumflex artery in a patient with acute myocardial infarction. The dislo...
