Zusammenfassung
Ein Aneurysma der Pulmonalarterie ist eine seltene (1 : 3000), aber lebensbedrohliche Komplikation des Einsatzes eines Swan-Ganz-Katheters. Typisches klinisches Symptom ist die Hämoptyse, aber auch ein klinisch stummes Aneurysma zeigt pathognomonische Veränderungen im Röntgenbild des Thorax. Die hohe Letalität der Komplikation erzwingt eine sorgfältige Überwachung der Patienten und eine Therapie, welche als interventionell-angiographischer Eingriff risikoarm und erfolgversprechend durchzuführen ist.
Abstract
Dissecting aneurysm of the pulmonary artery is a rare (1 : 3000) but life threatening complication of the use of Swan-Ganz catheters. The most typical clinical manifestation is hemoptysis, even a asymptomatic aneurysm causes pathognomonic X-ray findings. The eventually long free intervall between catheterisation and formation of the dissecting aneurysm requires thorough follow up of the concerning patients, e. g. chest roentgenograms and thorax CT-scans. The endovascular therapy of this lesion has replaced surgery due to a much better risk profile. The aime of the endovascular treatment is a coil-occlusion of the parent artery immediately proximal to the aneurysm. The success of this procedure will be instantaneously evident.
