Abstract/OtherAbstract:
If a large amount of debris or thrombus dislodges from a lesion because of dilation of the stenotic or occluded lesion in the hemodialysis access fistula when angioplasty is performed, it may move into the pulmonary artery via the central vein, resulting in pulmonary embolism. A novel sheath has been developed to prevent the outflow of debris or thrombus to the central vein. The catheter consists of a 5 F sheath introducer and a silicone balloon attached at the tip of the sheath. The silicon balloon is inflated via small inflation lumen on the shaft wall of the sheath. In the case of percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA), the silicone balloon is inflated to block the blood flow by a mixture of contrast medium and physiological saline, and then dilate a stenotic or occluded lesion by PTA balloon. Next, the debris and thrombus are aspirated using the flush-lumen of this device. Finally, the silicone balloon is deflated and the dilation of the lesion is confirmed. A case of hemodialysis access fistula graft with massive thrombotic occlusion was presented. This device enabled Fogarty procedure using PTA balloon and the blood flow of the graft was completely improved and a large amount of thrombus was removed. This novel device is useful to prevent the embolic complication of the intervention for hemodialysis access fistula.
