The transradial (TR) approach for coronary angiography and intervention is increasingly used worldwide because of several advantages such as reduced bleeding and vascular complications. During TR procedures, aggressive catheter manipulation in the setting of complex and tortuous arterial anatomy can lead to catheter kinking and entrapment. Several percutaneous retrieval techniques using either homolateral radial access or femoral access have been described previously. We demonstrate, for the first time, the use of a sheathless guide catheter as a rescue technique to successfully retrieve a severely kinked and entrapped diagnostic catheter during TR access. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Coiling of echogenic perineural catheters with integral stylet: A proof-of-concept randomized control trial in a sciatic nerve block simulator and a pilot study in orthopaedic-trauma patients.

Backround/objectives: We investigated a technique that facilitates the coiling of a regular straight catheter (with integral stylet) behind the sciatic nerve in an ultrasound (US) regional anaesthesia simulator, and then applied our findings to a series of orthopedic-trauma patients.
Methods: We conducted a randomized study of two methods of perineural catheter advancement in a sciatic nerve block Blue Phantom simulator. Two groups of twenty catheters each (method A and method B) were evaluated under real-time ultrasound imaging.
Percutaneous Coronary Intervention for Atherosclerotic Coronary Artery Disease After Arterial Switch Operation: A Case Report.
Interv Cardiol

Department of Adult Cardiology, Aswan Heart Centre Egypt.
Late coronary complications after an arterial switch operation (ASO) may occur due to vessel kinking, compression resulting from growth of the great vessels, ostial fibro-intimal thickening after reimplantation or possibly secondary to accelerated atherosclerosis. Given that many of these patients are asymptomatic, adult ASO survivors require special attention and an individualised approach to the early detection of coronary artery disease. Most previously reported cases of coronary artery disease after an ASO have been managed surgically.

Article Synopsis
- * Researchers analyzed data from 11 studies with 2097 patients, finding that ultrasound guidance significantly reduced the risk of certain complications like inadvertent arterial puncture and catheter misplacement.
- * The findings suggest that using ultrasound for CVC placement enhances safety and recommends real-time guidance during the procedure to minimize adverse outcomes.
A Rare Case of Catheter Obstruction in Peritoneal Dialysis Due to Entrapment of Oviductal Fimbriae.

General Surgery, Centro Médico Nacional de Occidente, Instituto Mexicano del Seguro Social, Guadalajara, MEX.
Article Synopsis
- - Peritoneal dialysis is a treatment for end-stage chronic kidney disease, but it can have complications like infections and mechanical obstructions, which may involve organs such as the omentum and, rarely, the fallopian tube fimbriae.
- - A 65-year-old woman on peritoneal dialysis experienced abdominal pain and decreased catheter flow, leading to a CT scan that indicated a mechanical obstruction.
- - Surgery revealed that her fallopian tube fimbriae were trapped in the dialysis catheter, which was freed and repositioned; she recovered well and resumed dialysis without further complications.
Prevention and treatment of coronary catheter kinking.

Coronary catheter kinking is an uncommon but potentially catastrophic complication of cardiac catheterization. Although simple maneuvers can often result in resolution of a kink, tighter knots may not respond to such measures. We provide a systematic, stepwise approach to the prevention and treatment of catheter kinking.
