title: Chronic aortoiliac dissection treated by self-expanding stent placement.
abstract: A 47-year old male patient presented with claudication from a right-sided aortoiliac dissection secondary to transfemoral cardiac angiography. Placement of two self-expanding stents led to immediate compression of the false channel. The patient has been free of symptoms for 18 months.
