Balloon-Assisted Tracking to Overcome Radial Spasm during Transradial Coronary Angiography: A Case Report
نویسندگان
چکیده
Spasm of the radial artery is the most important cause of failure to perform coronary angiography via the transradial approach. Spasmolytic cocktail may prevent radial artery spasm but is relatively contraindicated in patients with aortic stenosis or diminished left ventricular function. In this case report we describe a recently published technique to overcome severe radial spasm during transradial coronary angiography in a patient with moderate aortic valve stenosis.

Balloon-assisted tracking for challenging transradial percutaneous coronary intervention
A-74-year-old woman with a history of diabetes mellitus and hypertension was admitted to our hospital due to non-ST elevation myocardial infarction. Coronary angiography was performed uneventfully using JL 3.5 and AR1 5 Fr angiographic catheters (Boston Scientific, USA) through radial access. The coronary angiogram showed one vessel disease with an 80% stenosis at the proximal part of the left ...
متن کاملPrimary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention Using BaLloon-Assisted Sliding and Tracking (BLAST) of Diagnostic Catheter to Negotiate Double Hairpin Loop of Radial Artery
During transradial intervention, sharp edge of the guide catheter tip may act like a "razor-blade" and can prevent the catheter navigation especially in situation like double hair pin loop. Here, we report primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) through diagnostic catheter using an innovative technique, balloon-assisted sliding and tracking (BLAST), to overcome this double hairpin loop...
متن کاملA Rare Case of Radial Arteriovenous Fistula After Coronary Angiography
The percutaneous transfemoral approach has been routinely used for cardiac catheterization and coronary angioplasty. Local vascular complications following angioplasty are seen in 5% to 10% of patients, especially in those who need prolonged anticoagulation. Transradial access for coronary procedures dramatically reduces access site complications. We report a rare case of radial arteriovenous f...
متن کاملSafety and feasibility of the new 5 Fr Glidesheath Slender.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the safety and feasibility of the new 5 Fr Glidesheath Slender (GSS). The transradial (TR) approach has become popular because of several advantages, such as a reduced rate of vascular access site complications. However, because the radial artery is narrow, a limitation of TR access is the potential for artery spasm or occlusion. Studies of radial artery si...
متن کاملRadial Artery Pseudoaneurysm: A Rare Complication after Transradial Coronary Angiography
The transradial approach has recently been recommended as the first choice to reduce access-site vascular complications during percutaneous coronary diagnostic and interventional procedures [1]. It may be preferred in anticoagulated patients to avoid those vascular complications associated with the femoral approach, which are compounded by systemic anticoagulation [2]. The radial artery pseudoa...
