“…In our review, 6 out of 23 studies reported the access approach used for cardiac catheterization. Three case reports with total of four patients with CES had femoral approach of catheterization . Three prospective studies indicated toward a higher rate of CES with femoral catheterization.…”

“…Across 23 included studies, a total of 905 cases of CES have been reported, 648 of them were iatrogenic that is, after a vascular procedure. All the studies are summarized in Table . Among the retrospective studies included in this review, the incidence of CES varied from 2.9% (for endovascular stent graft for AAA repair) to 25.5% for cardiac catheterizations and 30 % for aortograms …”

“…Three case reports with total of four patients with CES had femoral approach of catheterization. 12,18,19 Three prospective studies indicated toward a higher rate of CES with femoral catheterization. Fukumoto et al divided the population into two arms: disease and control, and showed that femoral approach was present in 80% of disease and 70% in control arm.…”

Cholesterol embolization syndrome (CES) is a multi-systemic disease caused by embolization of atherosclerotic plaque contents from proximal large-caliber artery to distal small to medium arteries, occurring spontaneously or more commonly after vascular intervention. This report is a comprehensive review of the reported cases of CES found in our literature search. We discuss the risk factors, clinical manifestations, management, and prognosis of CES. The major predisposing factors for CES include older age, male sex, atherosclerotic cardiovascular risk factors, anticoagulation, and femoral access route. The composite incidence of atheroembolic renal disease was 92% and mortality 63%. Our review highlights the importance to recognize this disease entity for the cardiologist and nephrologist.
