Abstract:
The patient previously underwent surgery for cervical cancer. She reported intermittent claudication, and computed tomography (CT) revealed total occlusion of the left iliac artery. We conducted endovascular treatment (EVT) using balloon-expandable covered stents (BECS). The patient underwent colostomy closure after EVT. The patient reported intermittent claudication beginning the day after the procedure. The CT showed a collapse of the distal side of the stent implanted in the right common iliac artery, accompanied by localized thrombo-occlusion. During open surgery, metal hooks typically affect the iliac artery; force transmission through the tissue may indirectly compress the iliac artery, leading to BECS failure.
