Abstract

There was a significant correlation between the severity of pain during angioplasty and linear filling defects at angioplasty site in post PTA angiograms. Most interventional radiologists recognized that the pain during angioplasty have no clinical consequences. Our study comprising of 55 angioplasties indicated that moderate to severe pain was associated with development of linear filling defects at the angioplasty site. As these cracks represents local wall dissections, a post angioplasty injection should never be made within the dilated segment, to avoid risk of propagating dissection.
