They found two patients developed necrotizing fasciitis (NF) after undergoing percutaneous transluminal coronary revascularization for acute coronary syndrome. These two cases represent the first reported instances of NF as a complication of this procedure.
Canadian Relevance
This study has no direct Canadian connection as it reports on cases from outside Canada.
Study Limitations
A significant limitation of this study is its reliance on only two case reports, which limits the generalizability of the findings to a broader patient population.
