Introduction
Iatrogenic catheter-induced arterial injury may cause ischemic upper
extremity disease, but such cases are rare. There are two reports on
complications during transcatheter aortic valve
replacement(1) and shoulder
arthroplasty(2), both of which were treated
surgically. Transluminal angioplasty is another treatment option and
shows excellent upper limb salvage for traumatic
cases(3), but reports on endovascular treatment (EVT)
for iatrogenic cases are rare.
We present a case of right axillary artery occlusion, after percutaneous
coronary intervention (PCI), treated by endovascular stent-grafting.
