Aneurysm III: Interprofessional Care

227
Aneurysm management involves either conservative medical therapy or surgical intervention, depending on the size and symptoms of the aneurysm. Conservative management is generally reserved for smaller, asymptomatic aneurysms, while larger or symptomatic aneurysms often necessitate surgical repair.Conservative Medical TherapyFor small, asymptomatic aneurysms, particularly abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) less than 5.5 centimeters in diameter, conservative medical therapy is recommended. This...

Aneurysm IV: Nursing Management

334
Vigilant monitoring for aneurysm rupture is essential for patients undergoing aortic surgery.Preoperative Nursing ManagementContinuously monitor the patient for manifestations of aneurysm rupture, such as pallor, weakness, tachycardia, hypotension, abdominal, back, groin, or periumbilical pain, changes in consciousness, and a pulsating abdominal mass. Regularly assess the patient's peripheral pulses.Instruct the patient to consume a clear liquid diet the day before surgery and administer...

Cardiac Catheterization III: Left Heart Catheterization

509
Left heart catheterization is an invasive diagnostic procedure used to evaluate the function and structure of the left side of the heart. It is generally performed to diagnose and treat cardiovascular conditions such as valve abnormalities, coronary artery disease, and congenital heart defects.Diagnostic and therapeutic purposesLeft heart catheterization serves various diagnostic and therapeutic purposes, including:Assessing coronary artery bypass grafts.Evaluating coronary artery disease in...

Aneurysm II: Clinical Manifestations and Diagnostic Studies

163
Thoracic, aortic arch and abdominal aneurysms are significant vascular conditions that can present with various clinical manifestations and lead to serious complications. Understanding these manifestations and the appropriate diagnostic studies is essential for effective management and treatment.Thoracic Aortic AneurysmsThoracic aortic aneurysms often remain asymptomatic until they reach a size that impinges on adjacent structures. They typically cause deep, diffuse chest pain that radiates to...

Area of Science:

  • Vascular Surgery
  • Interventional Radiology
  • Medical Complications

Background:

  • Endovascular procedures are increasing, leading to a rise in retained foreign bodies.
  • Retained stents and catheters in vasculature pose serious complications.
  • Management strategies depend on the foreign body's condition and location.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To report a rare case of a retained umbilical artery catheter.
  • To discuss the implications of incidental findings of retained devices.

Main Methods:

  • Case report review.
  • Literature search for similar cases.

Main Results:

  • An incidental retained umbilical artery catheter was identified in the aorta of an adult patient.
  • This finding was unexpected and asymptomatic.

Conclusions:

  • Retained umbilical artery catheters, though rare in adults, can be found incidentally.
  • Awareness of such complications is crucial for vascular and interventional specialists.
