Catheter-Induced Pulmonary Artery Dissection and Contrast Extravasation During Pulmonary Angiography
Pulmonary artery injury during pulmonary angiography is an uncommon complication. We describe two cases of iatrogenic pulmonary artery extravasation that resulted from the use of pigtail catheters for pulmonary angiography. No further complications occurred and no treatment was necessary in either case. Thus, mild contrast extravasation appears to be a self-limited complication that likely requ...
متن کاملPulmonary dissection during diagnostic pulmonary angiography.
A 50-year-old woman with a history of deep venous thrombosis presented to our clinic for evaluation of pulmonary hypertension. On examination, she had a strong pulmonary component of the second heart sound and a grade 2/6 systolic murmur on the left sternal border. Echocardiography revealed severe right ventricular dilatation, with mildly depressed function and severe tricuspid regurgitation. E...
متن کاملPulmonary artery catheter-induced hemorrhage.
Pulmonary artery rupture by a flow-directed balloon-tipped catheter is a rare complication if guidelines for insertion of catheters are strictly applied. It should be stressed that the need for a "confirmed" wedge pressure should be weighed against the very real risk of this potentially fatal complication. Users of this catheter should expect and anticipate distal migration of the catheter tip....
متن کاملSilent Pulmonary Artery Dissection in a patient with old Pulmonary Balloon Valvuloplasty
Percutaneous pulmonary balloon valvuloplasty (PBV) remains the treatment of choice for pulmonary stenosis (PS). This procedure is effective, safe and gives excellent results. Pulmonary artery (PA) dissection is a rare complication of PBV. This report is a case of an asymptomatic 17-year-old male with a history of PBV due to severe PS dating back to fifteen years ago. During recent echocardiogra...
متن کاملVentricular asystole during pulmonary artery catheter insertion.
669 September 2015 A the overall pulmonary artery catheter (PAC) use has decreased, it remains a valuable tool in select patients. PAC insertion may result in ventricular or supraventricular dysrhythmias due to contact of the catheter with the cardiac chamber walls. The use of balloon-tipped catheters during insertion serves to increase the catheter tip surface area, thereby mitigating applied ...
