Coronary Stent Embolisation to an Iatrogenic Arteriovenous Fistula: An Unexpected Complication
نویسندگان
چکیده
INTRODUCTION Systemic embolisation of stents represents a rare complication of coronary interventions. REPORT The case of a patient with peripheral embolisation of a coronary stent while undergoing a coronary procedure for an ischaemic event is reported. The stent lodged at a previously created iatrogenic fistula joining the profunda femoral artery and the common femoral vein. An endovascular attempt was ineffective in treating this complication. The stent was removed surgically and the fistula repaired. DISCUSSION This unusual clinical setting of stent embolisation concomitant to an iatrogenic arteriovenous femoral fistula is reported.

Iatrogenic arteriovenous fistula (AVF) is usually caused by inappropriate blood vessel cannulation during diagnostic and interventional procedures [1–3]. Arteriovenous fistulas occur in 1.0–1.5% of cases following procedures with femoral access (FA) [1, 4, 5]. Iatrogenic fistulas are unintentional connections between an artery and a vein due to the needle being advanced too deeply and reaching ...

UNLABELLED INTRODUCTION Iatrogenic arteriovenous fistula is a vascular condition that may result from coronary angiography. Many case reports have described arteriovenous fistula occurrence after coronary angiography using the transfemoral access route, but rarely as a complication of using the transradial approach. We report a rare case of a patient with arteriovenous fistula following tran...

Intra-articular joint capsule injection is a common method used to control postoperative pain as a result of primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA). It is generally considered a safe practice and is highly effective in reducing the need for postoperative opioid administration as well as decreasing recovery time through early mobilization. However, any injection into the posterior knee space has ...

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of renal angiography and transarterial embolisation in the management of major iatrogenic renal vascular injuries. Patients and Methods: Records of 9 patients with major renal vascular complications (pseudoaneurysm or arteriovenous fistula) after percutaneous renal procedures were reviewed. They were investigated with digital subtraction angiography followed ...
