Left ventricular perforation during ventriculogram using an optitorque tiger catheter.

چکیده
A 76-year-old woman underwent left heart catheterization and coronary angiography for a non–ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction. A transradial approach with an Optitorque Tiger (Terumo, Somerset, New Jersey) catheter was used. Angiography was significant for only moderate nonobstructive disease in the right coronary artery. The Tiger catheter crossed the aortic valve and was used to obtain left heart pressures. After the pressure waveform and a small test injection appeared to show adequate positioning, a planned injection of 30 ml of contrast delivered over 10 s was begun. The patient

We are reporting a case of a 80-year-old lady with effort angina who underwent coronary angiography through the right radial artery, using a dedicated radial multipurpose 5 French Optitorque Tiger catheter. The catheter was advanced into the left ventricle and a left ventriculogram was obtained, while the catheter appeared optimally placed at the centre of the ventricle and the pressure wavefor...
متن کاملAccidental left ventricular perforation during coronary angiogram.
Myocardial perforation (MP) is an uncommon entity which occurs most commonly in the setting of acute myocardial infarction. We report a case of accidental left ventricular perforation during a routine coronary angiogram. A 55-year-old male, known diabetic with moderate renal impairment, non-hypertensive, suffered an acute inferior wall myocardial infarction for which he was thrombolyzed with st...

A 62-year-old female patient with highly symptomatic, idiopathic, monomorphic, premature ventricular contraction presented at our institution for further treatment (Figure 1A). Previous medical antiarrhythmic treatment has failed. She had a history of mitral valve repair attributable to rheumatic heart disease 2 years before and paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. Aside from that, transthoracic ech...

A68-year-old woman with exertional chest discomfort was referred for cardiac catheterization. Her medications did not include atrioventricular (AV) nodal blocking agents, and she had no prior history of dizziness or syncope. Her admission ECG was normal, including a normal axis, PR interval, and QRS morphology and duration (Figure 1). Right heart catheterization and coronary angiography demonst...
متن کاملOutcomes of cardiac perforation complicating catheter ablation of ventricular arrhythmias.
BACKGROUND Cardiac perforation is a recognized complication of catheter ablation procedures, most commonly encountered during ablation of atrial fibrillation. The study aims to investigate the incidence, management, and hospital outcomes of cardiac perforation complicating catheter ablation for ventricular arrhythmias. METHODS AND RESULTS Consecutive patients undergoing catheter ablation for ...
