Abstract

Catheter knotting is a rare complication of coronary angiography. Treatment is controversial and differs from one laboratory to another. Case: A 79 year-old patient was taken to the catheterization laboratory for diagnostic coronary angiography. Right coronary artery couldn’t be cannulated with 5-F JR4 diagnostic catheter due to severe subclavian artery tortuosity. After several clockwise and counterclockwise maneuvers, a catheter knot was formed in the brachial artery region. Due to multiple unsuccessful attempts for retrieval, the patient experienced severe forearm pain which led to discontinuation our maneuvers. Therefore, we decided to perform surgery for removal of the catheter. We pulled the catheter slowly until the knot reached the tip of the sheath. The knot being in the radial artery, a surgical arteriotomy was performed safely under local anesthesia. Conclusion: When all efforts fail, surgery can still be performed safely. In that situation, pulling the knot back into the radial artery should be tried vigorously

Özet

Kateter düğümlenmesi koroner anjiyografinin nadir bir komplikasyonudur. Tedavi tartışmalı olup bir laboratuvardan diğerine farklılık göstermektedir.Olgu: Yetmiş dokuz yaşında bir hasta diagnostik koroner anjiyografi için kateter laboratuvarına alındı. Subklavian arter ileri derecede kıvrımlı olduğu için sağ koroner arter 5-F JR4 diyagnostik kateter ile kanüle edilemedi. Saat yönünde ve tam tersi istikamette yapılan birçok manevradan sonra brakiyal arter hizasında kateterde düğüm oluştu. Kateteri çıkarmak için yapılan çok sayıda başarısız girişime bağlı olarak hastada ciddi ön kol ağrısı gelişti ve manevraları kesmek zorunda kaldık. Bunun üzerine kateteri cerrahi olarak çıkarmaya karar verdik. Düğüm yapan yer kılıfın ucuna gelecek şekilde kateteri yavaşça geri çektik. Düğüm radial arter hizasında iken lokal anestezi altında arteriotomi yapılarak kateter rahatça çıkarıldı. Sonuç: Hiçbir girişim işe yaramadığında, cerrahi müdahale hala güvenli bir şekilde yapılabilir. Bu durumda ise düğümün radial artere geri çekilmesi için yoğun çaba sarf edilmelidir
