Reversal of Severe Vasospasm Causing Transradial Angiogram Catheter Entrapment By Low Dose Sedation

Year 2015, Issue: 2, 110 - 112, 01.06.2015

Abstract

One of the major disadvantages of the transradial approach during cardiac interventions is radial artery spasm. Severe vasospasm of the radial artery causing catheter entrapment is less frequently encountered and its management has rarely been reported. Herein, a 72-year-old female patient who was scheduled for an elective left heart catheterization due to exertional angina pectoris is reported. During transradial diagnostic coronary angiography, catheter entrapment occurred due to severe vasospasm of the radial artery. Reversal of severe vasospasm and release of entrapped catheter was not possible until low dose sedation with intravenous midazolam was given. This case report demonstrates that low dose sedation with intravenous midazolam could be used effectively to reverse resistant vasopasm of the radial artery during transradial interventions

Transradyal Anjiogram Kateter Tuzaklanmasına Neden Olan Şİddetlİ Vasospazmİn Düşük Doz Sedasyon İle Çözülmesi

Abstract

Kardiyak girişimlerde transradyal yaklaşımın önemli dezavantajlarından biri radyal arter spazmıdır. Kateter tuzaklanmasına neden olan şiddetli radyal arter vazospazmı daha az sıklıkla görülür ve tedavisi nadiren bildirilmiştir. Yazımızda efor anginası nedeniyle elektif sol kalp kateterizasyonu planlanan 72-yaşında bir kadın hasta bildirildi. Transradyal tanısal koroner anjiyografi esnasında radyal arterin şiddetli vazospazmına bağlı kateter tuzaklanması gelişti. Intravenöz midazolam ile düşük doz sedasyon uygulanana kadar şiddetli vasospazmın gerilemesi ve kateter tuzaklanmasının çözülmesi mümkün olmadı. Bu vaka intravenöz midazolam ile düşük doz sedasyonun transradyal girişimler esnasında oluşan dirençli radyal arter vasospazmının tedavisinde etkili olabileceğini göstermiştir.
