title: Primary stenting of bilateral radiation-induced external iliac stenoses.
abstract: Radiation-induced arteritis is a described rare complication of radiotherapy, particularly in patients with cancer. We report bilateral radiation-induced arteritis leading to stenoses in the external iliac arteries, which was treated with primary percutaneous arterial stenting, and review the current literature on the topic.
