Case Report and Brief Review:
Intramyocardial Hematoma after Coronary Perforation during Percutaneous Coronary Intervention – Anticipated and Treated
Coronary perforation is an uncommon complication of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). The reported incidence is approximately 0.4–1.2%. Coronary perforations are typically graded from 1 to 3, the latter representing a frank perforation with contrast jetting into the pericardial space. Not included in this classification, however, are perforations that result in blood entering and dissecting the subepicardial space without producing hemopericardium. These so-called subepicardial (or intramyocardial) hematomas are distinctly rare and have predominantly been described in patients with prior coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) who undergo PCI.
CASE REPORTS:
Percutaneous Arterial Closure for Inadvertent Cannulation of the Subclavian Artery – A Call for Caution
Arterial puncture and sheath placement in the subclavian artery is an infrequent complication of central venous access. The incidence of arterial puncture during subclavian vein access has been estimated at 2.7–4.9%; it is probably higher in critically ill patients and may result in significant morbidity and mortality.1–5 The subclavian artery is particularly prone to inadvertent puncture or laceration during attempted subclavian venipuncture because it is a blind procedure and cannot be guided by arterial palpation.

Percutaneous Treatment of Ductal Origin of the Distal Pulmonary Artery in Low-Weight Newborns
Ductal origin of the distal pulmonary artery is characterized by a patent ductus arteriosus in continuity with the proximal end of a pulmonary artery (either left or right, or both) with no continuity to the main pulmonary artery (PA). Progressive closure of the ductus arteriosus results in the loss of blood flow to the dependent PA. This malformation has been recognized in a variety of congenital heart diseases including ventricular septal defect (VSD), tetralogy of Fallot, and heterotaxy syndrome tetralogy of Fallot variants.
