Successful retrieval of a broken circular mapping catheter after entrapment in the tricuspid valve apparatus
Introduction Invasive electrophysiology study and catheter ablation are relatively safe procedures with only rare complications. A circular mapping catheter is commonly used to localize abnormal foci within the atria and thoracic vein. Entrapment of the circular mapping catheter in the mitral valve (MV) apparatus has been reported previously by Wu et al, who noted serious complications followin...
متن کاملCircular mapping catheter entrapment in the mitral valve apparatus: a previously unrecognized complication of focal atrial fibrillation ablation.
Radiofrequency catheter ablation of focal atrial fibrillation triggers within the pulmonary veins is a rapidly developing therapy that relies on both recent technologies and evolving techniques. We describe the entrapment of a circular mapping catheter within the mitral valve apparatus after transseptal catheterization and mapping of the left atrium and pulmonary veins. The occurrence of this p...
متن کاملCatheter entrapment due to severe radial artery spasm during transradial approach.
BACKGROUND Catheter entrapment due to severe radial artery spasm (RAS) during transradial coronary catheterization has been rarely reported and its management is not precisely defined. The aim of this study was to determine the incidence, predictors and management of catheter entrapment due to severe RAS. METHODS A total of 723 patients undergoing transradial coronary catheterization at a sin...
متن کاملRadiation Dose and Cancer Risk of Cardiac Electrophysiology Procedures
Electrophysiology study (EPS) and radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA) are widely used for the diagnosis and treatment of cardiac arrhythmias. EPS and RFCA are very complicated procedures, requiring extended periods of time and advanced technologies that vary according to the disease of the patients. Fluoroscopy is used during EPS and RFCA to guide the catheter through the vessels while view...
متن کاملEntrapment of a Swan-Ganz catheter.
Failure to withdraw a catheter is related primarily to catheter entrapment or knotting. Placement of a Swan-Ganz catheter is associated with various complications, one of which is entrapment. Entrapment of a Swan-Ganz catheter in the heart, vena cava, or pulmonary artery is a very rare and serious complication that may lead to life-threatening complications if not treated appropriately. Most re...
