Bladder distension: An unusual cause of reflux of blood and hemodynamic changes (autonomic dysreflexia) during endovascular coiling.

Sharma, DP Singh, Daljit Ganjoo, P Tandon, M

Abstract


Autonomic dysreflexia due to distended bladder is well known. Reflux of blood during endovascular procedure is also a common observation. It happens due to difference in pressure gradient between arterial pressure and that of infusing solution. Generally it happens when the infusion bottle is empty or the pressure in infusion bottles fall. We present an uncommon situation where distended bladder mechanically resulted in reflux of blood into endovascular catheters as well as alteration in hemodynamic parameters. Both settled once the bladder was empty.
