title: Iliac arterial intussusception from an aortic endoclamp catheter.
abstract: Minimally invasive cardiac surgical procedures are gaining widespread acceptance with the advent and development of the femoral route for cardiopulmonary bypass. Aortic endoclamps are widely used and are one of the most important parts of these surgical techniques. This report presents iliac arterial intussusception from an aortic endoclamp catheter, which is a very rare complication with this type of device. Preventative strategies are presented.
