Summary

Arterial injuries occurred in 23 of 8,208 arterial catheterizations. Prompt recognition and specialized vascular care are crucial for avoiding complications like limb ischemia and false aneurysms.

Area of Science:

  • Vascular Surgery
  • Interventional Cardiology
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Arterial catheterization is a common diagnostic and therapeutic procedure.
  • Complications can arise from arterial access, necessitating careful management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review cases of arterial injury following arterial catheterization.
  • To identify risk factors and management strategies for these injuries.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of 8,208 arterial catheterizations at Glasgow Royal Infirmary.
  • Analysis of clinical presentations, management, and outcomes of arterial injuries.

Main Results:

  • Twenty-three cases of arterial injury were identified.
  • Common presentations included hematoma, limb ischemia, and false aneurysms.
  • Patients with valvular heart disease were a high-risk group.
  • Management varied from simple suture to thrombectomy with vein patch closure.
  • Late complications requiring vascular reconstruction occurred in 9% of cases.

Conclusions:

  • Arterial injury is a recognized complication of arterial catheterization.
  • Early identification and prompt referral to a vascular unit are essential for minimizing morbidity.
  • Valvular heart disease patients require particular attention due to increased risk.
