Radial artery pseudoaneurysm is rare following transradial catheterization procedures. In this article, we report a 5-month delay in the occurrence of this vascular complication following the completion of transradial coronary intervention in a subject without any underlying vasculitis, representing the longest time lag thus far described. < The occurrence of radial artery pseudoaneurysms after transradial coronary intervention is extremely rare, but typically presents clinically within weeks following arterial cannulation. A 5-month time delay for radial artery pseudoaneurysm occurrence in an individual without underlying vasculitis has not been previously reported. It is compulsory that radial operators have full knowledge of the time courses of all potential radial artery complications, so that their timely correction can be instituted.>.

A case of emergency stent graft placement for subclavian artery injury during ventriculoperitoneal shunt placement.

Radiol Case Rep

March 2025

Department of Diagnostic and Interventional Radiology, St. Marianna University School of Medicine, 2-16-1 Sugao, Miyamae-ku, Kawasaki, Kanagawa 216-8511, Japan.

With advancements in medical devices and imaging techniques, endovascular treatment using stent grafts has emerged as a viable and aggressive therapeutic option for traumatic subclavian artery injuries, including iatrogenic cases. Existing literature suggests that endovascular treatment is less invasive and offers hemostatic success rates comparable to traditional surgical methods. However, there is a paucity of case reports, necessitating further investigation into treatment indications and procedural challenges.

Identifying a Reliable Intra-articular Landmark to Avoid Vascular Injury During Transacetabular Screw Fixation: A 3D Computed Tomography Study.

J Am Acad Orthop Surg

September 2024

From the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Keck Medical Center of the University of Southern California, Los Angeles, CA (Ihn, Chung, Lovro, Patterson, Christ, and Heckmann), the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN (Chen), the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, PA (Tucker), and the Department of Radiology, Keck Medical Center of the University of Southern California, Los Angeles, CA (White, and Hwang).

Introduction: Vascular injury during acetabular screw fixation is a life-threatening complication of total hip arthroplasty. This study uses three-dimensional computed tomography to (1) measure absolute distance from the external iliac artery (EIA) to the acetabulum, (2) determine available bone stock along the EIA path, and (3) create a novel acetabular vascular risk map.

Methods: A retrospective radiographic study was conducted using three-dimensional CT.

Peak Procedural ACT Is Associated With All-Cause Mortality After Femoral Access PCI.

J Soc Cardiovasc Angiogr Interv

December 2024

Division of Cardiovascular Medicine, Sulpizio Cardiovascular Center, University of California San Diego, San Diego, California.

Background: A minimum threshold activated clotting time (ACT) to guide heparin dosing during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is associated with lower ischemic complications. However, data are variable regarding the risk of high ACT levels. The aim of this study was to assess the impact of peak procedural ACT on complications and mortality for transfemoral and transradial access PCI.

Background: Calcification of the radial artery is one of the main causes of anastomotic stenosis in autogenous arteriovenous fistulas in uremic patients. However, the pathogenesis of calcification is still unknown. This study attempted to screen and validate the risk factors for vascular calcification in patients with uremia.
