Abstract

Endovascular treatment has rapidly progressed due to the improvements of the equipment and endovascular devices. Continual refinement of the technology and techniques associated with endovascular treatment has led interventionists to perform more complicated endovascular treatment. However, the numerous complications of endovascular treatment are now well recognized and described in the literature. This article reviews various complications of three main endovascular treatments: balloon angioplasty, stent or stent-graft placement, and catheter-directed thrombolysis.
