Insights
Interventional cardiologists can manage large bore access complications like thrombosis and limb ischemia using specific techniques. These strategies ensure continued hemodynamic support and maintain access without compromising extremity perfusion.
Area of Science:
- Interventional Cardiology
- Vascular Surgery
Background:
- Complex interventional cardiology procedures like TAVR, EVAR, and MCS device deployment necessitate large bore access.
- Large bore access increases the risk of vascular complications, including thrombosis and limb ischemia.
Purpose of the Study:
- To describe management strategies for occlusive sheaths encountered with large bore access in upper and lower extremities.
- To provide interventional cardiologists with methods to handle these complications effectively.
Main Methods:
- Description of techniques for managing occlusive sheaths associated with large bore access.
- Includes strategies such as introducer sheath peeling and creation of internal/external bypass circuits.
Main Results:
- Successful management of occlusive sheaths allows for prolonged hemodynamic support.
- Maintained large bore sheath access is achievable without compromising extremity perfusion.
Conclusions:
- Effective management strategies are crucial for interventional cardiologists performing large bore access procedures.
- The described techniques offer a means to overcome vascular complications, ensuring patient safety and procedural success.
Abstract:
The field of interventional cardiology has evolved in its ability to carry out complex procedures. Procedures such as transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR), and mechanical circulatory support (MCS) devices require large bore access for successful deployment. With the use of large bore-access, comes with it an increased risk for vascular complications, such as thrombosis and limb ischemia. It is paramount for the interventional cardiologist to know how to manage such complications. In this manuscript, we describe our strategies for the management of occlusive sheaths increasingly encountered with large bore accesses in the upper and lower extremities. Strategies such as peeling away of the introducer sheath and the creation of internal and external bypass circuits are described. By using the described techniques, one can provide prolonged hemodynamic support and maintain large bore sheath access, without jeopardizing perfusion to the extremity.
