Open surgery retrieval of a missing guidewire causing cerebral infarctions after cerebral angiography: a case report.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Intra-aortic foreign body (IAFB) is uncommon, which is usually caused by a rupture of the catheter or guidewire. IAFB can cause catastrophic complications, including arrhythmia, embolization of guidewire fragments, intravascular clipping of the guidewire and vascular perforation. However, there are still no guidelines on removal and management of IAFB. Here, we present a rare case of fractured cerebral angiographic guidewires in the aorta that resulted in multiple cerebral infarctions.

Case presentation

A 50-year-old man experienced new cerebral infarction after cerebral angiography. Computed tomography and echocardiography demonstrated foreign bodies in his ascending aorta and aortic arch. Open surgery was successfully performed to retrieve the guidewires. The postoperation and follow-up was uneventful.

Conclusion

It is very important for interventional radiologists to check the catheter and guidewire after operation and perform ultrasound or radiograph to prevent IAFB. Additionally, the effective management of IAFB requires the early detection and the selection of appropriate treatment options, as well as long-time follow up.

A missing coronary guidewire mimicking aortic dissection-a case report.

Project description:BackgroundA retained coronary guidewire following coronary angiography is an extremely rare complication. We present a case of a retained coronary guidewire from a percutaneous coronary intervention done 2 years ago.Case summaryAn 80-year-old asymptomatic man with a history of ischemic heart disease and moderate aortic stenosis presented to the echocardiography lab for routine follow-up. Transthoracic echocardiography showed Moderate aortic stenosis and a suspected linear echogenic structure in the ascending aorta. trans-esophageal echocardiography was performed to reveal a mobile and linear echogenic structure originating from the sinuses of Valsalva/Sinotubular junction and extending to the ascending aorta. An electrocardiogram gated cardiac computed tomography was performed and showed A linear well-defined structure originating from the ostium of the left main coronary artery and extending to the ascending aorta-a coronary guidewire from an earlier procedure. A second look at the last invasive coronary angiography record demonstrated the same finding. A multidisciplinary heart team discussion was obtained and concluded that the risk of surgical or endovascular intervention outweighed the potential benefit. The patient was discharged home for a close clinical and echocardiographic follow-up.DiscussionA retained coronary guidewire is a rare complication that operators should be aware of. Management should be case-specific depending on clinical presentation.

Misdiagnosed murine typhus in a patient with multiple cerebral infarctions and hemorrhage: a case report.

Project description:Rickettsias cause a wide spectrum of tick-, flea-, or mite-borne infections. Rickettsial infections have no classical manifestations and can often lead to encephalitis, which can be fatal if improperly diagnosed.A 74-year-old male farmer was admitted to the hospital with fevers and a headache that had lasted for 10 days, followed by 4 days of unconsciousness, and his condition continued to deteriorate. Images showed multiple acute lesions in the brain stem, and bilateral cerebral and cerebellar hemispheres. He was finally diagnosed with endemic typhus and treated with antibiotics that resulted in improvement.The present report describes a patient with a rickettsial infection and subsequent deterioration to coma because of an initial misdiagnosis. Because of the similarity to other infectious diseases, physicians should be more vigilant towards the history and radiologic results to ensure early detection and avoid complications which may prove to be fatal.

Forgotten guidewire: A case report.

Project description:IntroductionThe Seldinger technique for implanting central venous catheters is the most used in the world. A metallic guidewire is employed in it, introduced through the lumen of a venipuncture needle, which serves as a path for the introduction of the central venous catheter. Complications directly related to this technique are of several types, such an insertion of a long-winded segment of the guidewire, which can lead to venous perforation, cardiac perforation, arrhythmias or even guidewire retention/embolization.Presentation of the caseWe report the case of a patient with a late diagnosis of a guidewire retained in her venous system. The distal end of the guidewire pierced the pulmonary artery, crossed the chest wall and remained in the left breast tissue. It was removed by laparotomy, through an extra-peritoneal access to the right common iliac vein.DiscussionDifferent factors have been identified as responsible for the increase in the number of guidewires retained after central venous catheterizations. Lack of supervision, in procedures performed by training physicians, has been identified as one of the most important risk factor in the cases reported in the literature.ConclusionThe present report demonstrates that central venous catheterization, despite being a relatively straight forward procedure, should not be underestimated and should be performed by properly trained physicians or by training physicians under supervision.

Endovascular clot retrieval in extensive cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST): a videographic report.

Project description:Urgent anticoagulation, despite the presence of acute cerebral hematoma, improves survival as well as the prognosis. Surgical decompression is a life-saving procedure and is required in a selected group of patients with considerable mass effect and elevated intracranial pressure (ICP). Endovascular thrombectomy is a novel approach to reduce the clot burden, achieve venous patency, and reduce ICP.

Retrieval of missing spliced leader in dinoflagellates.

Project description:Spliced leader (SL) trans-splicing has recently been shown to be a common mRNA processing mechanism in dinoflagellates, in which a short (22-nt) sequence, DCCGUAGCCAUUUUGGCUCAAG (D = U, A, or G), is transplanted from the 5'-end of a small non-coding RNA (SL RNA) to the 5' end of mRNA molecules. The widespread existence of the mechanism in dinoflagellates has been demonstrated by detection of this SL (DinoSL) in a wide phylogenetic range of dinoflagellates. Furthermore, the presence of DinoSL in the transcripts of highly diverse groups of nuclear-encoded genes has led us to postulate that SL trans-splicing is universal in dinoflagellate nuclear genome. However, some observations inconsistent to this postulation have been reported, exemplified by a recent article reporting apparent absence of DinoSL in the transcripts of some nuclear-encoded genes in Amphidinium carterae. Absence of SL in these gene transcripts would have important implication on gene regulation in dinoflagellates and utility of DinoSL as a universal dinoflagellate-specific primer to study dinoflagellate transcriptomics. In this study, we re-examined transcripts of these genes and found that all of them actually contained DinoSL. Therefore, results to date are consistent to our initial postulation that DinoSL occurs in all dinoflagellate nuclear-encoded mRNAs.

Coexistent cerebral small vessel disease and multiple infarctions predict recurrent stroke.

Project description:Background and purposeTo investigate the association of different status of cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) and infarction number with recurrence after acute minor stroke and transient ischaemic attack (TIA).MethodsThis study was a post hoc analysis of the Clopidogrel in High-risk Patients with Acute Nondisabling Cerebrovascular Events (CHANCE) trial, and includes 886 patients with acute minor stroke and TIA. The status of CSVD and infarction number was recorded for each individual. Infarction number were classified as multiple acute infarctions (MAIs≥2), single acute infarction (SAI =1), and non-acute infarction (NAI =0). The CSVD burden were grouped into non-CSVD (0 score) and CSVD (1-4 score). The primary outcome was a recurrent stroke at the 1-year follow-up. The secondary outcomes were recurrent ischaemic stroke, composite vascular event (CVE), and TIA. We analyzed the relationships between different status of CSVD burden and infarction pattern with the risk of outcomes using multivariable Cox regression models.ResultsAmong all 886 patients included in present analysis, recurrent stroke was occurred in 93 (10.5%) patients during 1-year follow-up. After adjusted for all potential covariates, compared with patients with non-CSVD and NAI, patients with CSVD and MAIs were associated with approximately 9.5-fold increased risk of recurrent stroke at 1 year (HR 9.560, 95% CI 1.273-71.787, p=0.028). Similar results observed in ischaemic stroke and CVE.ConclusionThe status of CSVD and infarction number predicted recurrent stroke in patients with acute minor stroke and TIA, especially for those with coexistent CSVD and MAIs.

Trousseau's syndrome manifesting as multiple cerebral infarctions caused by bladder cancer.

Project description:Cerebral infarction in patients with cancer is often called Trousseau's syndrome, which is a cancer-associated hypercoagulative state that causes thrombosis; however, the syndrome is rarely caused by bladder cancer. We report a case of Trousseau's syndrome manifesting as multiple cerebral infarctions caused by advanced bladder cancer in a 46-year-old male patient. The patient died due to the infarctions in the hospital. The prognosis of patients with Trousseau's syndrome caused by advanced cancer is poor. According to changing urological clinical settings, considering the risk of Trousseau's syndrome has become crucial for urologists treating patients with advanced cancer.

Importance of cerebral angiography in the evaluation of delayed carotid stent thrombosis: a case report.

Project description:BackgroundWhile noninvasive imaging is typically used during the initial assessment of carotid artery disease, digital subtraction angiography remains the gold standard for evaluating carotid stent thrombosis and stenosis (Krawisz in Cardiol Clin 39:539-549, 2021). This case highlights the importance of digital subtraction angiography for assessing carotid artery stent patency in place of non-invasive imaging.Case presentationWe present a 61-year-old African American male patient with a history of right cervical internal carotid artery dissection that was treated with carotid artery stenting and endovascular thrombectomy, who developed recurrent right hemispheric infarcts related to delayed carotid stent thrombosis. Digital subtraction angiography found multiple filling defects consistent with extensive in-stent thrombosis not clearly observed with magnetic resonance angiography. Etiology was likely secondary to chronic antiplatelet noncompliance. Therefore, the patient was treated medically with a heparin drip, and dual antiplatelet therapy (dAPT) was restarted. At 1-month follow-up the patient did not report new motor or sensory deficits.ConclusionIn the setting of delayed carotid stent thrombosis secondary to antiplatelet noncompliance, digital subtraction angiography may play an essential diagnostic role for early identification and determination of the most appropriate treatment.
