We report a fatal complication by a 10F introducer sheath which was left in place and resulted in perforation of the right atrial wall 8 h later. This case is reported to emphasize the increased risk of cardiac perforation from large caliber rigid sheaths which should be withdrawn immediately after completion of the procedure. | Gov't Doc #: | 8485740 | URI: | https://ahro.austin.org.au/austinjspui/handle/1/13388 | Journal: | Cardiovascular and interventional radiology | URL: | https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/8485740 | Type: | Journal Article | Subjects: | Catheterization.adverse effects Heart Injuries.etiology.radiography Humans Male Middle Aged Portal Vein Stents Vena Cava, Inferior Wounds, Penetrating.etiology |
