A 37-year-old pregnant woman who had undergone three previous cesarean sections was diagnosed as having placenta percreta. We decided to perform cesarean hysterectomy with bilateral common iliac artery balloon occlusion (CIABO). The duration of surgery was 2 h and 2 min and total estimated blood loss was 2600 mL. Surgery was completed without any surgical complications, but the pulse oximeter waveform of the left leg became undetectable during surgery. We immediately performed angiography after closure of laparotomy and found abnormal pooling of contrast media at the left common iliac artery in the region in which the balloon was positioned. We made a diagnosis of left common iliac artery dissection caused by CIABO. We performed emergent revascularization by intravascular stenting. We conclude that CIABO can cause common iliac artery dissection by mechanical stimulation of the inflated balloon. Careful intraoperative evaluation of limb ischemia and preparation of intravascular treatment is needed for a safe procedure.

Inflammatory bowel disease, or IBD, encompasses a group of disorders characterized by chronic inflammation or ulceration of the gastrointestinal tract.
Risk Factors
The exact cause of IBD remains unclear, although it is believed to be due to a mix of genetic, environmental, microbial, and immune factors. Genetic factors are significant in determining susceptibility to IBD, with family history being a critical risk factor. Individuals with a first-degree relative who has IBD are at...
