English to Spanish: Thoracic aortic injury due to chest catheter
Source text - English Presentamos el caso de un paciente varón de 45 años ingresado en la UCI con un derrame pleural paraneumónico organizado en pulmón izquierdo. Tras la introducción de un tubo pleural para intentar drenarlo, sale sangre arterial por el tubo siendo clampado y fijado rápidamente, se realiza una TC urgente. En este se observa que el tubo se ha introducido excesivamente medial y la punta se ha alojado en el interior de la aorta torácica descendente (flechas blancas, figs. 1 y 2 figs. 1 y 2). Se avisa al cirujano cardiovascular de guardia. Se decide que la mejor opción terapéutica es el tratamiento endovascular. Se introduce una endoprótesis torácica por femoral izquierda, con una maniobra coordinada se retira drenaje mientras se despliega la endoprótesis que sella la solución de continuidad (fig. 3 fig. 3). El caso es un claro ejemplo de que cualquier técnica invasiva puede tener complicaciones graves. Si se hubiera retirado el tubo en el momento de la punción las consecuencias hubieran sido fatales.
Translation - Spanish We hereby present the case of a 45-year-old male admitted to the ICU due to parapneumonic pleural effusion at the organizing stage in his left lung. The introduction of a pleural catheter to drain the lung is followed by arterial blood coming out of the catheter that is clamped and rapidly fixated. An urgent CT scan is conducted. The CT scan shows the excessively medial insertion of the catheter and the tip resting inside the descending thoracic aorta (white arrows, Figure 1 and Figure 2). The cardiovascular surgeon on call is then notified. He decides that the best therapeutic option is endovascular treatment. One thoracic endoprosthesis is then introduced through the patient’s left femoral and, in a coordinated maneuver, the drainage catheter is removed and the prosthesis deployed to close the solution of continuity (Fig. 3 Fig. 3). The case is a clear example that any invasive technique can have serious complications. If the catheter had been removed during the puncture the consequences would have been fatal.
