Thoracic stent graft placement for repair of iatrogenic aortic injury secondary to sheath placement during pacemaker insertion
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe the inadvertent cannulation of the proximal descending thoracic aortic stent with a five French sheath during attempted pacemaker placement in an 88- year-old male. The injury was managed successfully by the percutaneous placement of a thoracic aortic stent graft with good outcome. Our case highlights the feasibility of managing this uncommon injury with this technique.

Percutaneous endovascular repair of aneurysm after previous coarctation surgery.
BACKGROUND Formation of aortic aneurysm late after surgical repair of coarctation carries a significant risk of rupture and lethal outcome, and repeat surgery is associated with a 14% in-hospital mortality rate and morbidity from paraplegia, injury to the central nervous system, or from bleeding. The potential of nonsurgical endovascular repair by the use of stent-grafts in lieu of repeat surge...

Carotid trauma demands early diagnosis and treatment. Open repair may be technically challenging if the trauma is at the base of the neck. We present a case of iatrogenic penetrating carotid trauma caused by insertion of a hemodialysis catheter. Treatment was accomplished by placement of a covered stent-graft in the common carotid artery, covering the puncture site. This case suggests that plac...

BACKGROUND Recently, thoracic aortic stent grafting has emerged as an alternative therapeutic modality for patients with thoracic aortic aneurysms and aortic dissections. However, its application has been limited to descending thoracic aortic aneurysms distal to the aortic arch. We report our initial clinical experience of endovascular branched stent graft repair for aortic arch aneurysms. ME...
متن کاملLong-term results of endovascular aortic repair for thoracic pseudoaneurysms after previous surgical coarctation repair.
OBJECTIVES Late aneurysm formation has been reported after every type of surgical coarctation repair in up to 10%, with rupture of such aneurysms being responsible for approximately 7% of all deaths. Secondary surgical repair carries a significant mortality (up to 15%) and morbidity rate (recurrent laryngeal nerve paralysis ∼20%, phrenic nerve injury ∼5%). According to the positive experience w...

Aortic injuries are devastating complications after spinal surgery. We here would like to share our experience with a successful endovascular treatment of an iatrogenic thoracic aortic injury caused by misplaced pedicle screw after spinal surgery. A patient underwent posterior spinal surgery for L1 burst fracture was transferred to our department for instrumentation removal. An iatrogenic thora...
