Perforation of the right ventricle and cardiac tamponade caused by a venous catheter.

چکیده
A case is reported in which a venous catheter perforated the right ventricle and caused cardiac tamponade. Methods recommended to avoid such complications include limiting the length of the radio-opaque catheter, and modifications to the catheter tip.

Story of a Little Right Ventricular Pseudoaneurysm
Cardiac trauma caused by Swann-Ganz catheter may very rarely cause cardiac perforation, tamponade and right ventricular pseudoaneurysm. In contrast to left ventricular equivalants, pseudoaneurysms of the RV have a weak tendency to rupture. Its impact on patient outcomes should be assesed very carefully depending on its size, filling rate/capacity. It is possible not to operate the patient and f...
متن کاملAn Unusual Cause of Cardiac Tamponade during Cardiac Catheterization Study
Introduction. Catheter-based diagnostic and therapeutic procedures are rapidly advancing. However, catheter related complications sometimes become life threatening. Cardiac tamponade is a rare but serious complication of this procedure. We have summarized one cardiac tamponade pejoration due to secondary coronary vessels laceration by the implanted pericardial drainage. Case report. A 4-year-ol...
متن کاملFatal cardiac tamponade as a result of a peripherally inserted central venous catheter: a case report and review of the literature.
We present a case of fatal cardiac tamponade that occurred in association with a peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) inserted from the right antecubital fossa. Migration of the catheter from the right atrium within 24 h of insertion lead to the administration of a potassium-enriched sodium chloride solution into the pericardial space with the development of ST-segment elevation and pr...
متن کاملAn alternative treatment for iatrogenic right ventricular puncture in primary percutaneous intervention.
Right ventricle perforation is an uncommon, but potentially fatal, possible complication of pericardiocentesis. We presented a case of right ventricular perforation that developed during urgent pericardiocentesis due to tamponade. This case was successfully treated with the incremental removal of the drainage catheter, replacing it with a smaller catheter at 10-minute intervals. This may be an ...
متن کاملGuide Wire Induced Cardiac Tamponade: The Soft J Tip Is Not So Benign
Central venous catheter (CVC) insertion rarely causes cardiac tamponade due to perforation. Although it is a rare complication, it can be lethal if not identified early. We report a case of cardiac tamponade caused by internal jugular (IJ) central venous catheter (CVC) insertion using a soft J-tipped guide wire which is considered safe and rarely implicated with cardiac tamponade. A bedside tra...
