Abstract

Distal embolization is a distal filling defect in one of the peripheral coronary artery bran-ches of the infarct-related vessel, distal to the site of angioplasty. It can lead to a subs-tantial obstruction in coronary circulation, whether it occurs spontaneously or during a percutaneous coronary intervention. It may manifest with specific clinical symptoms and noticeable changes in electrocardiographic readings.
