Iatrogenic cervical artery dissections during endovascular interventions.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Iatrogenic cervical artery dissection (CeAD) results from various procedures including interventional angiographic procedures and diagnostic angiography. Iatrogenic CeAD is rare, resulting in limited literature on management and outcomes. This observational cohort study investigates approaches and outcomes of iatrogenic CeAD after endovascular interventions.

Methods

We conducted a retrospective review for patients who underwent endovascular intervention with resulting iatrogenic CeAD at Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN, from 1998 to 2021. Pertinent patient factors were extracted and descriptive statistics generated.

Results

Between 1998 and 2021, 21,191 patients underwent catheter-based cerebral angiography. Thirty-two had iatrogenic CeADs (23 women; median age 5
