Fatality following cardiac catheterization injury.
نویسنده
چکیده
The widespread use of cardiac catheterization has revealed certain dangers inherent in the procedure when the catheter is advanced beyond the tricuspid valve. Ventricular and other ectopic rhythms are a well recognized risk, but less is known about the effect of damage to the endocardium produced by the catheter in man (Zimdahl, 1951). This paper presents in detail a case that terminated fatally, and the possible mechanism of such trauma is discussed in the light of this and other similar cases that have been reported.
