title: [Angioplasty with stenting for buttock claudication].
abstract: We report the case of a patient presenting severe buttock claudication with normal neurologic and osteoarticular exams. He underwent a guidewire recanalization of his occluded superior gluteal artery followed by a percutaneous angioplasty with stenting, resulting in total relief of symptoms. This observation represents the first publication describing the use of a stent with recanalization of the gluteal artery. The technique seems promising for buttock pathology.
