TRANSCATHETER RETRIEVAL OF DEVICE ENTRAPMENT: MANAGEMENT OF A RARE COMPLICATION OF PERCUTANEOUS CORONARY INTERVENTION

Device entrapment: a rare complication of percutaneous coronary intervention.

Device entrapment is a rare complication of percutaneous coronary intervention. It has hazardous potentials for the patient. Emergent cardiac surgery is the only option after failure of retrieval devices. We have described here a case of a 55 years old male. During percutaneous coronary intervention, the balloon inflated only partially at its ends and entrapped in the lesion along with the sten...

Catheter induced left main coronary artery stenosis: A rare complication of percutaneous coronary intervention

Introduction: Iatrogenic left main coronary artery lesion following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is a rare complication. Bashour et al. first reported this complication more than twenty­three years ago. Fortunately, this was one of only a handful of cases reported in literature, in spite of the thousands of procedures performed every year. Case Series: We are reporting two cases of ...

Right atrium tumor – pseudoaneurysm of right coronary artery. A rare complication after percutaneous coronary intervention

Percutaneous transcatheter management of giant coronary aneurysms.

A61-year-old man with a history of coronary artery aneurysms was referred to our institution for evaluation of dyspnea on exertion. Coronary artery bypass of the aneurysms had been performed 2 years earlier. Although it was reported that the aneurysms had been ligated, coronary angiography revealed large residual aneurysms of the right and left circumflex arteries (top left, Figures 1 and 2), w...
