ABSTRACT
Endovascular therapy has several advantages over conventional surgery, primarily due to itsminimally invasive nature. However, major complications may still occur. As endovascular therapy becomes more widely applied, it has become increasingly important to recognize and treat systemic complications of endovascular therapy when they occur and prevent them altogether when possible. Major systemic complications include contrast nephropathy, atheroemboli, heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT), allergic reactions, and myocardial infarction.
