Iatrogenic vascular injury during peripheral revascularization.
Iatrogenic vascular injury may occur during peripheral revascularization procedures secondary to the application of vascular occlusive devices. This review summarizes the known mechanical causes of such injury, relates this to clamp design, and suggests methods to minimize such injury by appropriate selection and handling of vascular occlusive clamps.
