iatrogenic coronary artery dissection during coronary angiography with or without rupture is a rare but feared complication . we herein report a case of iatrogenic left main coronary artery dissection in a 49-year-old female. admitted to our hospital with a recent history of severe hypotension, she develpled apnea during angiography. she was intubated  and resuscitated with an epinephrine infus...

dissection of the internal carotid artery (ica) is a rare condition that accounts for a significant proportion of ischemic strokes in young adults. iatrogenic dissection as a complication of neurointerventional procedures is a traumatic dissection which has been reported relatively rare in the literature. in this report, a case of dissection of the ica is reported that was caused by repetitive ...

Abstract Background Iatrogenic aortocoronary dissection (ACD) is a rare but potentially devastating complication of cardiac catheterisation. We describe case an iatrogenic ACD following catheter engagement and balloon inflation the proximal right coronary artery (RCA) during elective percutaneous intervention (PCI). Case summary An 81-year-old woman presented with acute inferior wall ST-elevati...

Intraoperative aortic dissection in a Turner syndrome patient Aortic dissection is a rare but catastrophic complication of cardiac surgery with a mortality ranging from 24-43% (1). Turner syndrome (TS) patients are known to be at an increased risk of undergoing an insidious aortic dissec-tion, however, little is known about their risk of undergoing iatrogenic dissection. In addition to airway m...

Iatrogenic femoral artery dissection is a rare complication of cardiac catheterization, which typically occurs at the time of needle puncture. Guidewire passage with the needle in a subintimal position dissects the artery. In most cases, iatrogenic dissections spontaneously heal because of the catheter passage in an opposite direction to the blood flow (1). In this case, dissection of the right...

Renal artery dissection may be caused by iatrogenic injury, trauma, underlying arterial diseases such as fibromuscular disease, atherosclerotic disease, or connective tissue disease. Radiological imaging may be helpful in detecting renal artery pathology, such as renal artery dissection. For patients with acute, isolated renal artery dissection, surgical treatment, endovascular management, or m...

PURPOSE The presence of peripheral vascular disease, in particular iliofemoral disease, is responsible in part for vascular complications from femoral artery cannulation. We investigated whether prescreening for vascular obstructions with magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) in high-risk patients with peripheral vascular disease (PVD) would provide useful information to angiographers seeking to...

: Iatrogenic phrenic nerve injury is an issue that all thoracic surgeons will be called to tackle during their career. Injury of the leads paralysis hemidiaphragm, which can result in a spectrum symptom severity from asymptomatic disabling shortness breath. It any operation requiring dissection close its anatomical pathway neck diaphragm, but also at risk with interventional procedures within v...

Iatrogenic migraine aura following transseptal catheterization has only rarely been reported in the literature. We report the case of a 60-year-old female who presented with new onset of migraine with visual aura 1 day after transseptal cryoballoon catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation. The patient had a 5-year history of typical migraine without aura and had never experienced visual aura b...
