MOSQUERA, Walter et al. Unusual vascular access for cardiac catheterization in patients with complex congenital heart disease: a case report. Rev. Colomb. Cardiol. [online]. 2012, vol.19, n.1, pp.54-56. ISSN 0120-5633.

Obtaining vascular access is essential in the realization of different cardiac catheterization procedures. The recurrent catheterizations and multiple cardiac surgeries may result in marked incidence of loss of these access sites, which is why sometimes it is necessary to use unconventional techniques. We report the case of a one year old patient that necessitated the retroperitoneal approach of the common iliac artery.

Palabras clave : congenital heart disease; cardiac catheterization; vascular access.
