Abstract:
Percutaneous transluminal peripheral angioplasty (PTA), with and without stenting, has become an effective, accepted, and safe approach for treating intermittent claudication and critical leg ischemia in selected patients. Percutaneous peripheral interventions are subject to complications that require unique solutions when compared to coronary interventions. We report a case of common iliac artery stenting complicated by stent migration and describe an approach to the management of this problem.
