Percutaneous removal of an embolized port catheter: description of a new coaxial recovery technique including a case-report.
No full textThe achievement of coaxiality between recovery device and embolized tubular foreign bodies like central venous catheters is a key point to achieve percutaneous removal. To facilitate this target, we designed a coaxial retrieval loop-snare device using a modified coronary guiding catheter and a coronary 0.014'' guidewire. This new technique has been bench tested and then successfully used to remove a long Port-A catheter's fragment embolized into the right sided hear
Transradial carotid artery stenting with proximal embolic protection
No full textProximal embolic protection devices (PPDs) are increasingly used during carotid artery stenting (CAS) due to the theoretical advantage of cerebral protection during the entire procedure.
Transradial approach reduces access site vascular complications and can be useful for CAS in patients at high bleeding risk, with contraindications for prolonged bed rest and when a bovine aortic arch is present.
Due to the large size of the available equipment, PPDs have only been employed by transfemoral approach. Recently, one PPD (MoMa, Invatec, Roncadelle, Italy) has become available in 8Fr configuration. Such improved design may theoretically permit its introduction in the radial artery.
Here we report three cases of severe internal carotid artery (ICA) stenosis successfully treated by CAS with 8Fr MoMa using transradial approach, showing the technical feasibility of such procedure
Retrograde recanalization of left main from saphenous vein graft supported by percutaneous Impella Recover LP 2.5 assist device.
No full textPercutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) in patients with severely depressed left ventricular (LV) function and in those with chronic total occlusions are technically challenging and at high risk of complications. Here we report a case of successful retrograde transradial recanalization and stenting of a chronically occluded left main coronary artery (LMCA) from a saphenous vein graft supported by the Impella Recover LP 2.5 assist device
