Fatal thrombo-embolic complications at aorto-femoral angiography. 1985

R Takolander, and D Bergqvist, and K Jonsson, and S Karlsson, and K Fält

Fatal complications due to angiographic procedures are rare. An awareness of these complications is, however, mandatory in order to be able to prevent them. This report concerns three fatal cases with a deleterious complication of distal macro- and microembolization in connection with the angiographic procedure. In all cases the local circulation was surgically restored. The microcirculation was 'out of reach' and all three patients succumbed with profound tissue ischemia.
