Massive Hemorrhage from Arterial Access during Intracranial Aneurysm Stent-Assisted Embolization: Endovascular Diagnosis and Therapy

Seminars in Interventional Radiology
James T BuiSean P Zivin

Abstract

Massive hemorrhage from arterial access in patients receiving anticoagulation and antiplatelet therapy is a rare but potentially devastating complication. The authors present a patient who developed a large retroperitoneal and anterior abdominal wall hemorrhage following an unintentional and unrecognized arterial injury during an endovascular procedure. Reversal of anticoagulation in patients who have undergone stent-assisted coil embolization of intracranial aneurysms is an undesirable approach due to the risk of thromboembolism; rather, transcatheter embolization of the bleeding source should be considered.

Cajal Bodies & Gems

Cajal bodies or coiled bodies are dense foci of coilin protein. Gemini of Cajal bodies, or gems, are microscopically similar to Cajal bodies. It is believed that Cajal bodies play important roles in RNA processing while gems assist the Cajal bodies. Find the latest research on Cajal bodies and gems here.
