Abstract

Distal peripheral microembolism is caused by embolization of atherosclerotic debris into small arteries and arterioles. The recent advances in endovascular technique have been met with a gradual increase in the incidence of iatrogenic atheroembolism. This review seeks to explore the nature of distal peripheral microembolism, pathophysiology, and the management options, with a focus on iatrogenic distal peripheral microembolism.
