چکیده
We are presenting rare, but life-threatening complication of diagnostic coronary catheterization. To overcome the problem requires operator's experience and appropriate actions. We want to share our experience to interventionalists to be aware and ready to recognize and overcome such complication.

Iatrogenic left main coronary artery dissection and intramural hematoma caused by diagnostic transradial cardiac catheterization.
The growing use of the transradial approach for percutaneous coronary interventions has been shown to decrease the risk of major vascular complications. However, in this case report we describe a iatrogenic left main dissection during diagnostic coronary catheterization, which remains a rare, but still life-threatening condition. The adjunctive use of intravascular ultrasound may assist in the ...
متن کاملSurgical Treatment of a Catheter-Induced Iatrogenic Dissection of the Right Coronary Artery following Cardiac Catheterization
Iatrogenic dissections of the ascending aorta are an uncommon and severe complication during cardiac catheterization. A 68-year-old female patient underwent diagnostic cardiac catheterization due to non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction. During the procedure, a catheter-induced 360(°) Class I dissection of the right coronary artery occurred. The patient developed severe bradycardia, which was ...
متن کاملDissection of Arteria Lusoria during Transradial PCI: A Rare Complication revealed and followed by Multidetector CT
Though the radial artery is an ideal site of access for coronary percutaneous interventions (PCI), anatomical variations may render this procedure more challenging. An aberrant right subclavian artery (arteria lusoria) arising from the descending aorta is an uncommon congenital variant that occurs in about 0.2–1.7% of the population. In such cases, the angulated retroesophageal course of this a...
متن کاملDissection of arteria lusoria by transradial coronary catheterization: a rare complication evaluated by multidetector CT.
An aberrant right subclavian artery (arteria lusoria) arising from the descending thoracic aorta is an uncommon congenital variant that occurs in about 0.2-1.7% of the population. In such cases, the angular course of the arteria lusoria to the ascending aorta imposes difficulty in passing a guide wire to the ascending aorta during right transradial catheterization. Here, we present the first re...
متن کاملCentral Vascular Complications Following Elective Catheterization Using Transradial Percutaneous Coronary Intervention
Percutaneous coronary intervention is commonly used to treat coronary artery disease. Both transradial and transfemoral approaches are applied. In general, fewer complications are seen with the transradial approach compared to the transfemoral access, for which reason the transradial catheterization is frequently preferred. In this case presentation, we describe 2 cases of elective transradial ...
