Bilateral external iliac artery catheter-induced vasospasm during angiography--a case report.
The occurrence of catheter-induced vasospasm of small-caliber arteries during cardiac angiography is well documented. In contrast, little documentation of catheter-induced vasospasm in large-caliber arteries exists. This case presents reproducible catheter-induced vasospasm with bilateral asymptomatic occlusion of the femoral and iliac arteries.
