Guide Wire Induced Cardiac Tamponade: The Soft J Tip Is Not So Benign

open access: yesCase Reports in Critical Care, 2016
Central venous catheter (CVC) insertion rarely causes cardiac tamponade due to perforation. Although it is a rare complication, it can be lethal if not identified early. We report a case of cardiac tamponade caused by internal jugular (IJ) central venous

Non-perforated cardiac tamponade associated with a central venous catheter in a premature infant with extremely low birth weight

open access: yesTrends in Pediatrics, 2023
Central venous catheterization is almost routinely used in neonatal intensive care, especially in premature and extremely low-birth-weight infants. One of the rare but life-threatening complications is pericardial effusion and cardiac tamponade.

Prevalence and Prognostic Impact of Coronary Chronic Total Occlusions in Patients With Cardiogenic Shock

open access: yesCatheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Mortality in patients with cardiogenic shock (CS) remains high despite advanced treatment strategies in CS patients, underlining the need for the identification of predictors of prognosis in CS patients. Therefore, the present study investigates the prognostic impact of coronary chronic total occlusions (CTO) in patients with CS ...
