Abstract
We report a case of bacterial arteritis of the external iliac artery complicated by mycotic aneurysm following coronary angioplasty. To our knowledge, this is the first reported instance of arterial wall infection caused by coronary angioplasty at a distance from the insertion site equal to the length of the sheath.Keywords
