1/141. Therapeutic embolization for unusual latrogenic complications related to coronary revascularization.Percutaneous therapeutic embolization may be an effective strategy to manage distal coronary perforations or inadvertent iatrogenic coronary arteriovenous fistula complicating revascularization procedures. We present two cases in which embolization techniques were used to manage these patients and avoid the need for surgical intervention.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = fistula (Clic here for more details about this article) |
2/141. Stasis dermatitis of the hand associated with an iatrogenic arteriovenous fistula.Stasis dermatitis is a cutaneous finding associated with chronic venous failure resulting in venous stasis. arteriovenous fistula in the hand may cause a chronic venous stasis. We report a case of stasis dermatitis of the hand associated with an iatrogenic arteriovenous fistula. Stasis dermatitis should be considered as a potential complication of iatrogenic arteriovenous fistula.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 7keywords = fistula (Clic here for more details about this article) |
3/141. Iatrogenic reno-jejunal fistula.The development of a reno-jejunal fistula following a Roux-en-Y cystojejunostomy for an incorrectly diagnosed pancreatic pseudocyst is described. Up to now, this is the second case of iatrogenic reno-jejunal fistula reported in literature. Reno-jejunal fistulas are exceedingly rare and are usually consequences of urologic pathologies of infectious origin. Reno-jejunal fistulas of iatrogenic origin are even rarer, only one case being referred in literature [1]. Herein the second case is reported.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 8keywords = fistula (Clic here for more details about this article) |
4/141. Iatrogenic injury in videolaparoscopic cholecystectomy: difficult surgical correction biliary tract.Two cases of biliary tract serious lesions during videolaparoscopic cholecystectomy are reported. In the first case of lithiasic cholecystitis there had been a complete damage of the common biliary duct; in the second case there had been a double main biliary duct binding with removal of a biliary tract segment. In both cases a biliary confluence-jejunal anastomosis with Roux-en-Y loop was made up. In the first one the operation was difficult because of the main bile duct's fragility and modest expansion. In the second one the presence of a secondary biliary duct in gallbladder fossa not recognized, but drained outside with a common drainage placed during the operation prevented appearance of jaundice with dilatation of biliary ducts. It was heavily conditioned performing confluence-jejunal anastomosis with Roux-en-Y loop. The post-operative course was characterized by appearance of an external biliary fistula which has spontaneously disappeared. One year later, neither of the two patients had any stenosis or cholangitis problems.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = fistula (Clic here for more details about this article) |
5/141. Simultaneous subarachnoid hemorrhage and carotid cavernous fistula after rupture of a paraclinoid aneurysm during balloon-assisted coil embolization.We describe an iatrogenic perforation of a paraclinoid aneurysm during balloon-assisted coil embolization that resulted in simultaneous subarachnoid contrast extravasation and a carotid cavernous fistula. The causative factors specifically related to the balloon-assisted method that led to aneurysm rupture are discussed as well as strategies for dealing with this complication.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 5keywords = fistula (Clic here for more details about this article) |
6/141. Treatment of a retroperitoneal lymphocele after lumbar fusion surgery with intralesional povidone iodine: technical case report.OBJECTIVE AND IMPORTANCE: This case report illustrates an uncommon complication from the retroperitoneal exposure of the lumbar spine. The diagnosis and management of a retroperitoneal lymphocele is presented. The lymphocele was treated with intralesional povidone iodine (Betadine; Purdue-Frederick, Norwalk, CT), which eradicated the lesion and provided symptomatic relief to the patient. CLINICAL PRESENTATION: A young woman developed an iatrogenic, rapidly progressive spondylolisthesis after having undergone three previous lumbar surgeries for radiculopathy at the L5-S1 level. INTERVENTION: A back-front-back approach was used for operative reduction and fusion of the spondylolisthesis. The patient's postoperative course was complicated by a retroperitoneal lymphocele. She presented with symptoms of urinary urgency and incontinence. The lymphocele was successfully treated with repeated drainage and sclerosis with povidone iodine. The patient ultimately developed a solid fusion, and her pain resolved. CONCLUSION: A retroperitoneal lymphocele is an uncommon complication caused by the surgical exposure of the lumbar spine when a ventral approach is used. In this case, it was diagnosed and treated without further surgical intervention.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.0088461894618808keywords = urinary (Clic here for more details about this article) |
7/141. diagnosis and management of trauma and iatrogenic induced arteriovenous fistulas in the neck.Trauma-induced arteriovenous (av) communications in the cervical region involving the external carotid artery and the jugular vein are exceptionally rare. Moreover, an iatrogenic av fistula between the vertebral artery and the vein after insertion of a venous catheter into the internal jugular vein is described. The discussion includes the clinical presentation, diagnosis and management of such rare av fistulas.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 6keywords = fistula (Clic here for more details about this article) |
8/141. Aortocoronary saphenous vein autograft accidentally attached to a coronary vein: follow-up angiography and surgical correction of the resultant arteriovenous fistula.The fate of aortocoronary saphenous vein bypass graft to the left anterior descending (LAD) coronary vein is reported. The vein graft communicated with the coronary sinus through the proximal LAD vein, producing a functional coronary arteriovenous fistula. The LAD vein was totally occluded distally at follow-up four months after operation. The natural history of congenital fistulas between coronary arteries and the coronary sinus suggested that bacterial endocarditis, pulmonary hypertension, and cardiac failure were all possible future complications in this patient. Operation was performed to revascularize the LAD artery to relieve persistent angina, and to close the fistula. Postoperative angiography showed a patent graft to the LAD artery with complete obliteration of the fistula. The patient is asymptomatic ten months after operation.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 8keywords = fistula (Clic here for more details about this article) |

Iatrogenic main pulmonary artery-left atrial fistula in a child.A 14-month-old boy who underwent operation for ventricular septal defect patch closure and debanding of the pulmonary artery presented with arterial desaturation in the early postoperative period. angiography confirmed the echocardiographic findings of hemodynamically significant main pulmonary artery-left atrial fistula. This communication was successfully closed surgically.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 5keywords = fistula (Clic here for more details about this article) |
10/141. Iatrogenic arteriovenous fistula in a renal allograft: the result of a TAD guidewire injury.A case is presented of an iatrogenic arteriovenous fistula developing in a renal allograft following guidewire manipulation during transplant renal artery angioplasty. Hyperdynamic flow through the fistula was causing a shunt of blood away from the renal cortex as demonstrated on sonography and scintigraphy. Selective embolization was performed, correcting the maldistribution of flow to the peripheral renal cortex. The diagnosis and difficulty in management of asymptomatic renal arteriovenous fistulae is also discussed.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 7keywords = fistula (Clic here for more details about this article) |
