Recanalization of iliac artery occlusion by subintimal dissection using the ipsilateral and the contralateral approach.
In peripheral vascular disease, iliac occlusions are one of the most difficult lesions to treat, because of the frequency with which dissection occurs from an ipsilateral approach. We describe a technique of subintimal recanalization of iliac occlusions by a combined ipsilateral and contralateral approach.
