[Peripheral neurologic complications following percutaneous transaxillary aortography]
Summary
Percutaneous transaxillary aortography can cause neurological injury due to catheter manipulation or hematomas. Early decompression of the neurovascular septum may significantly improve sensory and motor deficits.
Area of Science:
- Vascular Surgery
- Neurology
- Interventional Radiology
Background:
- Percutaneous transaxillary aortography is associated with severe neurological permanent injury.
- Nervous lesions result from catheter manipulation or postangiographic hematomas (aneurysma spurium).
- A symptomless interval before hematoma manifestation can delay diagnosis.
