Abstract
Catheter-induced vasospasm is well appreciated during diagnostic coronary angiography and angioplasty, but has rarely been described in peripheral arteries. We present an unusual case of concomitant catheter-induced vasospasm of the right external iliac and right coronary arteries. This case illustrates the potential challenges in diagnosing catheter-induced vasospasm from fixed obstructive atherosclerotic lesions in peripheral vessels.Entities:
