However, the aggressive manipulation of these materials may lead to potentially severe and threatening complications. We present a case of Turnpike Spiral (Teleflex) tip fracture, which caused an acute occlusion of the proximal right coronary artery. The coronary artery was tortuous and had two heavily calcified lesions in the proximal segment, uncrossable to both small angioplasty balloons and standard microcatheters. After the incarceration of the tip of the Turnpike Spiral in the calcium, it got fractured during the attempt of removing it from the vessel. This led to ST-segment elevation and patient instability. Due to the impossibility of advancing a second guidewire into the true lumen, we decided to proceed to antegrade dissection and re-entry using the scratch-and-go and subintimal tracking and re-entry technique. We placed a guide-extension and we used a Gaia II (Asahi Intecc) to enter the subintimal space and advance over the fractured tip. The wire was exchanged for a Gladius MG (Asahi Intecc), which re-entered the true lumen at the level of the acute margin of the heart. Intravascular ultrasound was used to confirm the re-entry point, and three drug eluting stents were placed.

Cribier achieved a clinical breakthrough by implanting a transcatheter aortic valve in a critically ill patient in 2002. Since then, TAVR has become a routine therapy for elderly patients with acquired aortic valve stenosis. For this procedure, sufficient periprocedural anticoagulation is mandatory. The implantation of potentially thrombogenic material into the cardiovascular system harbors the risk of thrombotic events, including stroke or bioprosthetic valve thrombosis, to name just a few.<span><sup>1</sup></span> Despite significant technical advances since the introduction of transfemoral TAVR, vascular bleeding complications still occur.<span><sup>2</sup></span> Finding the right balance between thrombosis and bleeding after the procedure is equally important. Thrombin, antithrombin, fibrinogen, and platelets play a vital role in the coagulation cascade. The course of these factors is essential to understand changes in coagulation after TAVR.</p><p>In the current issue of this journal, Katayama and colleagues have addressed this topic in a prospective single-center observational study.<span><sup>3</sup></span> Almost half of the initial 539 patients were excluded to finally analyze a clean patient cohort, and the most frequent valve types (balloon-expandable and self-expandable) were used.

Diabetes mellitus was noted in 36% of patients (<i>n</i> = 280), of which 14% (<i>n</i> = 108) were insulin dependent. Fifteen percent (<i>n</i> = 117) had chronic kidney disease, Fifty-two percent (<i>n</i> = 398) of cases were in the setting acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and of which 51 cases (7%) were ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction. Small vessels (<3.0 mm) accounted for 78% (<i>n</i> = 601) of cases and 76% (<i>n</i> = 584) were long lesions (<span></span><math>\u0000 <semantics>\u0000 <mrow>\u0000 \u0000 <mrow>\u0000 <mo>≥</mo>\u0000 </mrow>\u0000 </mrow>\u0000 <annotation> <math altimg=\"urn:x-wiley:15221946:media:ccd31244:ccd31244-math-0001\" wiley:location=\"equation/ccd31244-math-0001.png\" display=\"inline\" xmlns=\"http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML\"><mrow><mrow><mo>unicode{x02265}</mo></mrow></mrow></math></annotation>\u0000 </semantics></math>20 mm).

It encompasses a heterogenous pathophysiology and is used to describe hemodynamic compromise secondary to a coronary artery perforation, without free-flowing fluid in the pericardium. Tamponade physiology can result from compressive epicardial, intramyocardial, subepicardial hematomas, or dissecting intramyocardial hematomas. The diagnosis of dry tamponade requires hemodynamic derangement in the context of a compressive hematoma as demonstrated by imaging. Although echocardiography can often help identify dry tamponade, additional studies including right heart catheterization, computed tomography, or cardiac magnetic resonance imaging can inform the exact mechanism and help guide management. This article describes a case of dry tamponade, reviews the existing literature on the topic, and offers expert recommendations on diagnosis and management.</p>","PeriodicalId":9650,"journal":{"name":"Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions","volume":"104 6","pages":"1228-1240"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2024-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142361188","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
