Coronary perforation to the left ventricular cavity by a guide wire during coronary angioplasty.

چکیده
We describe a case in which the guide wire penetrated through the left anterior descending artery into the left ventricular cavity during percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty. This complication of coronary angioplasty which had not been previously reported was suspected because of the characteristic motion of the guide wire on the X-ray image and was confirmed by echocardiography.

Indications for chronic coronary occlusion angioplasty are based on the projected benefit and technical difficulties. With current indications, primary success is around 60% and complications are rare. In successful cases, the main benefits are improvement of symptoms and obviation of the need for bypass surgery. Late improvement of left ventricular function can also occur. Recurrences are freq...
متن کاملCORONARY ARTERIOSYSTEMIC FISTULA
Coronary arteriosystemic fistula which drains into the left ventricular cavity is a rare congenital anomaly. A case of double fistulae between the left anterior descending and left circumflex coronary arteries and left ventricular cavity is presented. The patient's chief complaint, chest pain, was attributable to the "steal phenomenon."

BACKGROUND A recent study using a Doppler guide wire showed that coronary flow velocity measurements immediately after coronary reperfusion were useful in predicting recovery of regional left ventricular function. The value of coronary flow velocity analyses during follow up after reperfusion has not been established in the clinical setting. OBJECTIVE To evaluate coronary flow velocity measur...

متن کاملA Case of Guide Wire Fracture With Remnant Filaments in the Left Anterior Descending Coronary Artery and Aorta
Guide wire fractures during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) are very rare, but when they do occur they may lead to life-threatening complications, such as embolization, thrombus formation and perforation. In cases when percutaneous retrieval has failed, surgical extraction of the remnant fragments is recommended. We present a case of remnant guide wire filaments that remained in place ...
