Abstract:
Quality and frequency of embolisation caused by angioplasty of stenoses of iliac arteries were investigated in 50 patients. In 18% emboli were found. They mostly consisted of atheromatous material and were visible by macroscopic view in 10% of the patients. Complications caused by embolisation during angioplasty of iliac artery stenosis however are very rare.
