title: Minimally invasive technique for iliac revascularization after large-bore sheath traumatic avulsion.
abstract: Percutaneous treatments of cardiac valvular and thoracic aortic diseases are rapidly progressing. To maintain an indispensable part of their treatment, cardiothoracic surgeons must evolve to be able to handle all complications related to the use of percutaneous devices. One of the most common complications is vascular access disruption. Presented here is a method for a combined surgical and endovascular treatment for minimally invasive repair of an iliac artery avulsion.
