Cholesterol embolism is a rare but potentially serious complication of cardiac catheterization. We report the case of a patient who presented a cholesterol embolism in the lower extremities after percutaneous angioplasty and the elective implantation of a stent. Clinical evolution was favourable. The appearance of cholesterol embolism could have been precipitated, in this case, by anticoagulation treatment with heparin and intense antiaggregation.
胆固醇栓塞是心脏导管插入术一种罕见但可能严重的并发症。我们报告一例患者,该患者在经皮血管成形术和择期植入支架后出现下肢胆固醇栓塞。临床病程良好。在该病例中,胆固醇栓塞的出现可能是由肝素抗凝治疗和强化抗聚集治疗诱发的。
