Entrapment of venous catheter following inferior vena caval spasm
Catheterization and Cardiovascular Diagnosis
|July 1, 1989
Abstract:
This is a report of a case in which a 5F high-flow right coronary catheter with its guide wire was entrapped within the inferior vena cava following a venous spasm. Local infusion of nitroglycerin (NTG) relieved the spasm, and the guidewire-catheter assembly could be safely retrieved.
