Arterial Occlusion Caused by Intimal Flap Elevation After Arteriosclerosis Obliterans Stent Implantation: A Case Report. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Stent‐related dissection is a well‐recognized complication of endovascular intervention. However, acute arterial occlusion resulting from stent‐induced intimal flap displacement at a major bifurcation is rare and carries a high risk of limb‐threatening ischemia.
