title: Successful interventional treatment of a spontaneous right common iliac artery dissection extending retrogradely into the left external iliac artery.
abstract: Spontaneous dissection of the iliac artery is very rare. In the present report, a patient presented with progressive right lower extremity pain and claudication and received a diagnosis of the even rarer condition of a spontaneous right common iliac artery dissection extending retrogradely into the contralateral left external iliac artery through the lower abdominal aorta. Treatment with primary stent-graft and stent placement followed by balloon angioplasty was successful.
