| Popis: |
Cholesterol embolization sometimes occurs after invasive procedures involving manipulation of the aorta or its major branches, and less commonly occurs after thrombolytic therapy for acute myocardial infarction. Rarer still is spontaneous cholesterol embolization, a case of which we now report. Our patient experienced peripheral embolization, the origin of which was traced to the infrarenal aortic segment and the common iliac vessels. Aortoiliac reconstruction was successful; we believe that surgical management of this condition should be performed in selected cases. |
