A. Artifact
B. Subintimal injection of radiocontrast
C. Result of cardiac perforation
POF 2015
28
Answer
• Images shown to several IR – consensus was that itrepresented an subintimal injection ofradiocontrast
• Cardiac perforation is arecognized complicationof central venouscatheter placement
• Generally fatal• May be acute or delayed
• Acute generally relatedto dilator or use ofacute catheter that istoo long
• Chronic related tocatheter tip erosion
• 7 cases of guidewireperforation have beenreported in the literature
• 5 related to straightguidewire
• 3 related to J-tip guidewire
• Most have been fatal
• 2 occurred during catheterexchange

Angiogram of Access
Question 16
• What is most likely explanation for symptoms?
A. Occlusion of revascularization by-pass
B. Progressive arterial disease
Angiogram of Access
POF 2015
31
No flow to lower arm through by-pass
By-pass anastomosis dilated with 6 X 4 angioplasty balloon
Good flow through by-pass graft after the PTA
POF 2015
32
Diffuse arteriopathy of forearm arteries
Comments
• Occlusion of the by-pass portion of the DRIL is adefinite risk with this procedure
• For this reason many surgeons do only the DRportion of the DRIL , omitting the IL and the needfor the by-pass

History
• 56 y/o male
• Dialysis for 2 years
