PCI Complications
3
"Little attention has been given..."
    • Little attention has been given to coronary air embolism complicating PCI. It’s devastating, sometimes...


4
Case Review
  • Patient, Male,71 years old。Peroxymal Chest pain for 1 year, symptom worsen 10 days
  • Risk factors:Smoking for 40 years,20/day. Blood glucose and lipid normal.
  • ECG before procedure


5
Left coronary angiogram
6
Right coronary angiogram
7
After air thrombus, patient suffered from chest pain, and ECG show inferior ST elevation
8
Catheter deep insertion, suck back air and inject 10 ml blood
9
Patient’s symptom resolved in 3 minutes, RCA angiogram again
10
"The occurrence rate of air..."
  • The occurrence rate of air thrombus during coronary intervention:
  •     Total:0.27%
  •        Angiogram:0.1-0.3%;
  •        PCI:0.84%


11
Mechanism of air embolism during PCI
  • 1. Incomplete aspiration of guiding catheter upon introduction into the vasculature
  • 2. Balloon leakage or rupture
  • 3. Prolonged negative suction of self-venting balloon catheters left outside the patient
  • 4. Introduction of balloon catheters into the guiding catheters
  • 5. Removal of balloon catheters from deeply seated guiding catheter
  • 6. Structural failure of catheter
12
The recognition of air thrombus during PCI
  • 1. The patient abruptly complains chest pain or discomfort
  • 2. The typical appearance of air in coronary circulation during contrast injection is a leading edge of contrast media abruptly stopping, with a hazy appearance pulsating back and forth on a meniscus of air
13
Clinical manifestation


14
Management of symptomatic coronary air embolism
  •  (1) 100% oxygen by face mask
  •  (2) Analgesics
  •  (3) Monitor and treat arrhythmias
  •  (4) Circulature support with pressors and intra-aortic balloon pump counterpulsation as necessary
  •  (5) Aspiration, forceful injection of saline or contrast
  •  (6) Emergency CABG
