Dissection of Arteria Lusoria by Transradial Coronary Catheterization: A Rare Complication Evaluated by Multidetector CT

Dissection of arteria lusoria by transradial coronary catheterization: a rare complication evaluated by multidetector CT.

An aberrant right subclavian artery (arteria lusoria) arising from the descending thoracic aorta is an uncommon congenital variant that occurs in about 0.2-1.7% of the population. In such cases, the angular course of the arteria lusoria to the ascending aorta imposes difficulty in passing a guide wire to the ascending aorta during right transradial catheterization. Here, we present the first re...

Dissection of Arteria Lusoria during Transradial PCI: A Rare Complication revealed and followed by Multidetector CT

Though the radial artery is an ideal site of access for coronary percutaneous interventions (PCI), anatomical variations may render this procedure more challenging. An aberrant right subclavian artery (arteria lusoria) arising from the descending aorta is an uncommon congenital variant that occurs in about 0.2–1.7% of the population. In such cases, the angulated retroesophageal course of this a...

Arteria Lusoria: An Anomalous Finding during Right Transradial Coronary Intervention

Arteria Lusoria or aberrant right subclavian artery (ARSA) is present in 0.6-1.4% of individuals. It typically remains clinically silent and is often discovered during angiographic procedures. The presence of ARSA can make a right transradial approach for coronary angiography and angioplasty technically more difficult. With the use of catheter support, we describe two cases in which a right tra...

Subclavian artery dissection: a rare complication of transradial coronary angiography

Pectoral muscle hematoma: A rare complication of transradial cardiac catheterization

compared to transfemoral access, but detection and management of these complications are not well defined. We presented two unusual cases of pectoral muscle hematoma after transradial coronary angioplasty. The first case was a male patient who had undergone angiography through the left radial artery. Advancing to the aortic arch through the axillary artery was challenging and was performed by c...
