Esophageal perforation following anterior cervical discectomy and fusion.
Proc (Bayl Univ Med Cent)
August 2024
Department of Thoracic Surgery, Baylor University Medical Center, Dallas, Texas, USA.
Anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) is one of the most common spinal surgeries performed in the US but is associated with various morbidities. Esophageal perforation is one of the rarest complications of ACDF, but it is potentially fatal, therefore requiring timely detection and treatment. We present three cases of esophageal perforation after ACDF.

Article Synopsis
- This report discusses a rare but serious complication of iatrogenic right ventricular perforation that occurred during a procedure called pericardial paracentesis.
- Following an unsuccessful attempt to drain the pericardial fluid, a successful closure of the perforation was accomplished using an Angio-Seal vascular closure device, stopping the bleeding and stabilizing the patient’s condition.
- The case emphasizes the effectiveness of the Angio-Seal device in managing complications related to pericardial interventions, showcasing its importance in complex medical situations.

Coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery is one of the main treatment procedures for revascularization. Diagnosing postoperative complications can be difficult. One rare complication is the iatrogenic connection of the graft to the venous system, causing distal ischemia due to an arteriovenous shunt.

Curr Opin Gastroenterol
January 2025
Division of Gastroenterology, Mount Sinai-South Nassau, Oceanside, New York, USA.
Purpose Of Review: We will review the current management of colonic perforations, with particular emphasis on iatrogenic perforations caused by colonoscopy, the leading etiology. We will focus on recently developed endoscopic techniques and technologies that obviate morbid emergency surgery (the standard management approach in years past).
Recent Findings: Colonic perforations are rare but potentially fatal complications of both diagnostic and therapeutic colonoscopy resulting in death in approximately 5% of cases with the mortality increasing with delay in diagnosis and treatment.
Asymptomatic iatrogenic bilateral occlusion of vertebral artery after atlantoaxial fusion: a case report.
Acta Orthop Traumatol Turc
November 2024
Department of Neurosurgery, Chonnam National University Hospital, Gwangju, Republic of Korea.
Article Synopsis
- Vertebral arterial injury (VAI) can be a serious complication after C1-C2 posterior screw fixation, as observed in a case of a 34-year-old woman with quadriplegia who suffered bilateral VAI caused by her surgical screws.
- Postoperative imaging revealed that the screws had violated the vertebral arteries but did not result in any neurological deterioration or infarction.
- The case highlights the importance of careful screw placement to prevent VAI during surgery, as well as the potential for variations in blood circulation to impact patient outcomes.
