A case of acute brachial artery occlusion after transradial coronary intervention
نویسندگان
چکیده
In 2010, a 49-year-old man was admitted to our hospital with chest pain. Angiography via the radial approach was performed. Acute brachial artery occlusion was present after the procedure. By transcatheter thrombolysis, brachial artery occlusion was recanalized. Transcatheter thrombolysis seemed to be effective and safe.

Predictors of Brachial Artery Spasm during Transradial Cardiac Catheterization
Background: Brachial artery spasms may occur during transradial cardiac catheterization. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between brachial artery spasms after transradial cardiac catheterization and coronary artery disease. Methods: Two hundred and forty-one patients who received transradial cardiac catheterization for diagnosis of coronary artery disease were enrolled ...

We present the case of a 68-year-old woman, referred to our department for critical upper limb ischemia, which had occurred a few days after homolateral surgical ligamentotomy for carpal tunnel syndrome, diagnosed and confirmed by electromyography, and performed with a brachial tourniquet. The patient was later admitted for subsequent progressive necrosis of the first three fingers of the left ...
متن کاملSudden Cardiac Arrest with Acute Myocardial Infarction Induced by Left Subclavian Artery Occlusion in a Patient with Prior Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery
Multivascular preventive and therapeutic approaches are necessary in patients with coronary artery disease because atherosclerosis has a common systemic pathogenesis. We present a rare case of sudden cardiac arrest with acute myocardial infarction induced by the total occlusion of left subclavian artery (LSCA) in a patient with a history of previous coronary artery bypass surgery using the left...
متن کاملRapid Spontaneous Coronary Artery Reperfusion Following Severe Bradycardia During Exercise Tolerance Test: A Rare Case Report
The acute occlusion of a coronary artery without the evidence of myocardial infarction might immediately affect both the diagnosis and treatment of coronary artery disease. We present the case with a sudden occlusion of the left main coronary artery without typical chest pain following an exercise tolerance test and rapid spontaneous reperfusion of the left main coronary artery.
متن کاملSafety and feasibility of the new 5 Fr Glidesheath Slender.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the safety and feasibility of the new 5 Fr Glidesheath Slender (GSS). The transradial (TR) approach has become popular because of several advantages, such as a reduced rate of vascular access site complications. However, because the radial artery is narrow, a limitation of TR access is the potential for artery spasm or occlusion. Studies of radial artery si...
