Endovascular procedures that use a hydrophilic polymer-coated device carry a risk of embolization and ischemic complications when used intravascularly. Because these coatings are increasingly used worldwide, it is important to identify potential adverse effects early. Cutaneous complications of hydrophilic polymer emboli are rare and not commonly described in the literature. Therefore, we report a case of hydrophilic polymer embolization with cutaneous findings in a patient who underwent a recent transcatheter aortic valve replacement.
使用亲水性聚合物涂层装置的血管内手术在血管内使用时存在栓塞和缺血性并发症的风险。由于这些涂层在全球范围内的使用越来越广泛，尽早识别潜在的不良反应很重要。亲水性聚合物栓子的皮肤并发症很少见，文献中也不常描述。因此，我们报告了一例在近期接受经导管主动脉瓣置换术的患者中出现亲水性聚合物栓塞并伴有皮肤表现的病例。
