Postcatheterization radial arteriovenous fistula: balloon-assisted direct percutaneous embolization with N-butyl cyanoacrylate and 50 % glucose solution in two sessions.

We report an iatrogenic radial arteriovenous fistula (AVF) in a 74-year-old woman presenting with right radial bruit and pain 8 months after sheath removal for cardiac catheterization. She refused surgical ligation and underwent balloon-assisted direct percutaneous embolization of the draining vein with N-butyl cyanoacrylate (NBCA). Another draining vein that developed immediately after the procedure was conservatively treated with 1 month of continuous band compression.

Percutaneous removal of a fully expanded SMART stent from the pulmonary artery using various adjunctive techniques.

A 36-year-old man with an implanted arteriovenous shunt for hemodialysis was referred for shunt malfunction. Venography of the right upper extremity showed occlusion of the subclavian vein, and a SMART stent was deployed. The fully expanded stent immediately migrated centrally into the left pulmonary artery.
