title: Percutaneous recanalization of the occluded iliac artery: examples, techniques, and complications.
abstract: Recanalization of an occluded iliac artery represents a technically challenging endovascular technique. Prior to attempting recanalization, the operator must have an approach in mind and understand the risks and complications associated with this endeavor. In this article, the authors provide 2 cases and review the techniques and complications associated with iliac artery recanalization.
