Obstacles encountered during transradial angiography from after Radial Artery puncture to the aortic arch
نویسندگان
چکیده
OBJECTIVE To elucidate the key points for safe performance of transradial angiography. CONCLUSIONS Transradial angiography can be performed safely if attention is paid to the following points from after radial artery puncture to reaching the aortic arch: resistance during guide wire operation for sheath insertion after puncture; confirmation of the superficial brachial artery; guide wire resistance while guiding the catheter to the aortic arch; and aortic arch anomalies.

متن کاملA Retroesophageal Right Subclavian Artery as the Last Branch of the Aortic Arch- In Vivo Case Report
Three major arteries normally originate from the aortic arch. Variations of the aortic arch branches are observed in some cases. Rare variation of the aortic arch branches is originated from the retroesophageal right subclavian (RRS) artery as the last branch of the aortic arch. Variation of artery is possibly associated with the variation of the recurrent laryngeal nerve. This research p...

compared to transfemoral access, but detection and management of these complications are not well defined. We presented two unusual cases of pectoral muscle hematoma after transradial coronary angioplasty. The first case was a male patient who had undergone angiography through the left radial artery. Advancing to the aortic arch through the axillary artery was challenging and was performed by c...
