Percutaneous treatment of aortoiliac atherosclerosis: a case report
1Dept of Radiology, LSU School of Medicine in New Orleans, USA.
Abstract:
This case report describes the current usage of percutaneous techniques in the treatment of aortoiliac atherosclerotic disease. The kissing balloon technique was utilized to perform percutaneous transluminal angioplasty of the distal aorta and its bifurcation. Subsequently, bilateral vascular stents were placed extending from the common iliac arteries into the aorta. Following stenting and percutaneous transluminal angioplasty, angiography demonstrated excellent blood flow in the aorta and iliac vessels. Palpable distal pulses were restored, and the patient's symptoms were alleviated. Percutaneous revascularization techniques offer an alternative to surgery in the treatment of selected patients with stenotic aortoiliac disease.
