[Complications caused by use of balloon catheters in arterial thrombembolectomy].
Complications related to balloon catheter thrombembolectomy in 717 cases of arterial occlusion occurred in 4.3% (= 31) and are classified in 6 groups: 16 perforations resp. ruptures (2.2%), 2 AV-fistulas (0.3%), 10 dissections (1.4%), 3 aneurysms (0.4%), intimal lesion and catheter failure. Inadequate handling is probably responsible in the majority of cases. Intraoperative angiography usually permits to recognize the complication and displays the details required for additional procedures.
