Images and Case Reports in Interventional Cardiology Atherotome Dislodgement and Successful Retrieval During Cutting Balloon Pulmonary Angioplasty

چکیده
Cutting balloons (CBs) are beneficial for dilation of resistant branch pulmonary artery (PA) stenosis in children.1 There are rare reports of atherotome fracture2 and a Food and Drug Administration adverse event report of a fractured atherotome dislodging and remaining in the patient.3 We report CB atherotome dislodgement and embolization with successful retrieval in a patient with Alagille syndrome and branch PA stenosis.

Atherotome dislodgement and successful retrieval during cutting balloon pulmonary angioplasty.

متن کاملSerial Myocardial Imaging after a Single Dose of Thallium-201
Although thallium-201 exercise scintigraphy has been established for the detection of myocardial ischemia and viability, little is known regarding the myocardial thallium-201 kinetics during angioplasty. Herein, we report a 77-year old man with angina pectoris, in whom serial myocardial imaging after a single dose of thallium-201 was helpful in identifying not only the culprit lesion and myocar...
متن کاملStent dislodgement in left anterior descending coronary artery and successful deployment with two parallel wires and a small balloon.
Coronary artery stent dislodgement during angioplasty is a rare complication. Stent dislodgement was more frequent in the past when stents were manually crimped onto the balloon. Newer and improved balloon-mounted stents with better radio-opacity have reduced the incidence of stent dislodgement but do not completely eliminate it. We report a case of balloon-mounted stent dislodgement in the pro...
متن کاملStent loss in the radial artery – surgical vs. interventional approach – report of two cases
Stent loss during coronary angioplasty is a complication that can be managed in various manners; however, transradial access limits the options available. We describe two coronary interventions complicated by stent dislodgement, initially managed by pulling the stent back to the radial artery. Both stents were unwillingly lost on different levels in radial arteries. The first case was managed w...
متن کاملImmediate stent recoil in an anastomotic vein graft lesion treated by cutting balloon angioplasty.
Saphenous vein graft (SVG) anastomotic lesions can have significant fibromuscular hyperplasia and may be resistant to balloon angioplasty alone. Stents have been used successfully to treat these lesions. There are no reports of immediate stent recoil following such treatment in the literature. We describe immediate and persistent stent recoil in an anastomotic SVG lesion even after initial and ...
