“…Allergic reactions to endoprosthesis are uncommon and reported in association with orthopedic, dental, endovascular, and other implanted devices [10]. Nickel hypersensitivity reactions have been reported after percutaneous patent foramen ovale occlusion and endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm repair [11][12][13][14]. Nickel is increasingly used in devices for intracranial endovascular procedures [15].…”

“…Han sido descritas dos variantes del síndrome: el tipo I se presenta en pacientes con arterias coronarias normales y el tipo II en la que existe enfermedad ateromatosa en las que las reacciones de hipersensibilidad pueden no sólo inducir espasmo sino además erosión y rotura de la placa con la consiguiente trombosis coronaria subsecuente 8 .…”

“…Las reacciones de hipersensibilidad al níquel ocurren sobre 17% de la población. La alergia local seguida de manifestaciones sistémicas ha requerido la remoción de dispositivos intracardíacos 8 . En la actualidad está bien establecido que los stent liberadores de fármacos se asocian a reacciones de hipersensibilidad.…”

“…The Amplatzer occluder is made of nitinol (approximately 45% nickel) [10], and on rare occasions, it may cause allergic reactions, as evidenced in sporadic case reports. A recent case report discusses a patient with severe progressive generalized exanthema 3 days after implantation of the Amplatzer device [114], while earlier case reports discussed patients presenting with systemic allergic reactions (such as fever and dyspnea) with no apparent rash, although they their patch test results were positive [115][116][117]. In all these cases, the patients' symptoms resolved either with the removal of the device or with the use of corticosteroids.…”
