Pericardial Hematoma Following Coronary Angiography, Davin Evanson, Allegra Delman, Michael Romeo Sep 2023

Pericardial Hematoma Following Coronary Angiography, Davin Evanson, Allegra Delman, Michael Romeo

Transformative Medicine

Introduction: Pericardial hematoma is defined as an accumulation of blood in the pericardial space, located in close proximity to the myocardium and deep to the fibrous pericardial sac, which encloses the heart.

Case Description: We present a rare case of pericardial hematoma following percutaneous coronary intervention in an individual presenting with stenotic vein graft following symptoms of a myocardial infarction. Initial computed tomography (CT) scan demonstrated hematoma in the pericardial space. This finding was managed conservatively and hematoma was deemed stable on serial CT scans.

Discussion: In this urgent situation, CT imaging proves valuable due to its speed, convenience, and …

Reading Hospital Interventional Radiology

BACKGROUND: The post-thrombotic syndrome frequently develops in patients with proximal deep-vein thrombosis despite treatment with anticoagulant therapy. Pharmacomechanical catheter-directed thrombolysis (hereafter "pharmacomechanical thrombolysis") rapidly removes thrombus and is hypothesized to reduce the risk of the post-thrombotic syndrome.

METHODS: We randomly assigned 692 patients with acute proximal deep-vein thrombosis to receive either anticoagulation alone (control group) or anticoagulation plus pharmacomechanical thrombolysis (catheter-mediated or device-mediated intrathrombus delivery of recombinant tissue plasminogen activator and thrombus aspiration or maceration, with or without stenting). The primary outcome was development of the post-thrombotic syndrome between 6 and 24 months of follow-up.

RESULTS: Between 6 and 24 …


Improving The Tracking And Removal Of Retrievable Inferior Vena Cava Filters., Anthony D Goei, Shellie C Josephs, Thomas B Kinney, Charles E Ray, David Sacks Mar 2011

Improving The Tracking And Removal Of Retrievable Inferior Vena Cava Filters., Anthony D Goei, Shellie C Josephs, Thomas B Kinney, Charles E Ray, David Sacks

Reading Hospital Interventional Radiology

Therapeutic and prophylactic inferior vena cava (IVC) filters should be placed based on currently accepted indications to prevent a fatal pulmonary embolism (PE). The protective effect of filters is offset by the potential for lower extremity deep venous thrombosis (DVT), caval thrombosis, and possible otherwise unnecessary life-long anticoagulation (AC). The duration of treatment for most DVTs or PEs is 3 to 6 months of AC/filter. Filters should be retrieved when duration of treatment for a DVT/PE has been met, the risk of a PE is no longer high, and/or there is no longer a contraindication to AC. An effective system …


Tips And Tricks For The Trauma Patient., Anthony D Goei, Brian H Ching, Mark W Meyermann, Timothy Nunez, David Sacks Mar 2010

Tips And Tricks For The Trauma Patient., Anthony D Goei, Brian H Ching, Mark W Meyermann, Timothy Nunez, David Sacks

Reading Hospital Interventional Radiology

Interventions on the trauma patient are an essential component of the complete scope of care that is provided to the multiply injured patient today. The active participation by the interventional radiologist along the entire spectrum of clinical care is very important to optimize patient outcomes. Suggestions on how to establish a clinical presence are presented. A few of the newer concepts and terminology applicable to trauma care are reviewed. Tips useful in the trauma room, in the interventional radiology suite, and during the postprocedural period are discussed.
