Abstract
Percutaneous balloon angioplasty and endovascular stent placement are becoming common techniques intended to reduce the need for surgical bypass procedures that may be more expensive or have higher morbidity rates. Prophylactic antibiotics are not currently used before stent placement in most centers even when implanted via the femoral route. Infectious complications have been rare. In the case presented here an infected common iliac pseudoaneurysm occurred after percutaneous balloon angioplasty and stent placement. The literature is reviewed.
