title: The treatment of aortoiliac occlusions by endovascular stenting with or without adjuvant femorofemoral crossover grafting.
abstract: We present four consecutive patients in whom we have used a combination of vascular and endovascular techniques in order to revascularise ischaemic legs caused by extensive aortoiliac occlusions. We believe that the techniques presented offer a viable alternative to more conventional surgical approaches in such cases.
