It was reported that a hematoma and radial artery occlusion occurred.Procedure summary: a sentinel cerebral protection system (cps) was selected and prepared for use in accordance with the instructions for use (ifu).During insertion of the sentinel cps, the sentinel cps kinked and was unable to be positioned.During the procedure, a large hematoma was noted in the patient's upper arm.The hematoma was treated with the application of 15 minutes of pressure and the placement of a blood pressure cuff.A computed tomography (ct) scan of the patient's arm revealed no dissection or pseudo aneurysm or further active bleeding.At an unspecified time, an occlusion within the right radial artery was observed.The procedure was completed using an unknown device.

It was reported that a hematoma and radial artery occlusion occurred.Procedure summary: a sentinel cerebral protection system (cps) was selected and prepared for use in accordance with the instructions for use (ifu).During insertion of the sentinel cps, the sentinel cps kinked and was unable to be positioned.During the procedure, a large hematoma was noted in the patient's upper arm.The hematoma was treated with the application of 15 minutes of pressure and the placement of a blood pressure cuff.A computed tomography (ct) scan of the patient's arm revealed no dissection or pseudo aneurysm or further active bleeding.At an unspecified time, an occlusion within the right radial artery was observed.The procedure was completed using an unknown device.It was further reported that the access for the sentinel cps was obtained via the right radial artery.The sentinel cps was advanced over a non-boston scientific guide wire positioned from the right radial artery to the ascending aorta.The wire kinked and the sentinel cps was removed.A distal kink was noted on the sentinel cps.A new sentinel cps was advanced over a different non-bsc guidewire.The physician encountered difficulty advancing past the antecubital fossa.The sentinel cps was retracted and readvanced and was able to advance to the ascending aorta.The previously reported hematoma was attributed to gaining access at the access site.The hematoma was noted at the end of the procedure.The following day, computed tomography (ct) imaging revealed no evidence of active arterial bleeding, or pseudoaneurysm formation on the arterial vasculature of right upper limb.There is an occlusion within the right radial artery within the proximal aspect of the forearm.This is more proximal than the usual site of radial access.The radial artery is high rising and tortuous below the elbow so maybe thrombus/dissection related to access or the wire.There is preserved single vessel flow to the right hand via patent ulnar artery.The radial occlusion was resolved with medical therapy.The following day, the patient was discharged from the hospital.
