A Rare Case of Radial Arteriovenous Fistula After Coronary Angiography
نویسندگان
چکیده
The percutaneous transfemoral approach has been routinely used for cardiac catheterization and coronary angioplasty. Local vascular complications following angioplasty are seen in 5% to 10% of patients, especially in those who need prolonged anticoagulation. Transradial access for coronary procedures dramatically reduces access site complications. We report a rare case of radial arteriovenous fistula, which developed after coronary angiography perfomed using the transradial approach.

Arteriovenous fistula as a complication of transradial coronary angiography: a case report
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...
متن کاملRadial Arteriovenous Fistula Developed Late after Coronary Angiography: A Case Report
Transradial access is a widely accepted method for percutaneous coronary diagnostic and interventional procedures, and it has dramatically reduced access site vascular complications compared to transfemoral access. Arteriovenous fistula formation at the access site is an especially rare complication in transradial access. We report an extremely rare case of delayed radial arteriovenous fistula ...

We report a case of a 40 year old man with portal hypertension caused by a splenic arteriovenous fistula that was diagnosed at laparotomy. He presented with bleeding esophageal varices and was initially treated by sclerotherapy. At laparotomy, portal pressure was 40 cmH20 but fell to 20 cm H20 after the fistula was treated with splenectomy. All symptoms disappeared shortly after operation ...

Coronary Arteriovenous Fistula (CAF) is a rare defect that occurs in 0.1-0.2% of patients undergoing coronary angiography; Coronary Artery Aneurism (CAA) also occurs in approximately 15-19% of patients with CAF. It is usually congenital, but in rare occasions it occurs after chest trauma, cardiac surgery, or coronary interventions. The case described is that of a 72-year-old woman, without prev...
