title: Outcomes of Endovascular Therapy for Infrarenal Aortic Occlusion of TASC II D Classification.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  This study aimed to investigate the treatment outcomes of endovascular therapy (EVT) in patients with infrarenal aortic occlusive disease.
  
  
  METHODS
  Between January 2012 and December 2015, 11 patients with infrarenal aortic occlusion of Trans-Atlantic Inter-Society Consensus II D classification were treated. Procedural results, complications, and midterm results were analyzed retrospectively.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The technical success was 81.8%. The procedural time was 118.3 ± 60.9 min, and the median length of hospitalization was 2 days (range, 1-40 days). Contrast-induced nephropathy occurred in 1 patient with EVT, but hemodialysis was not necessary. Primary patency of EVT at 2 years was 100%, and there were no reinterventions.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The endovascular approach for infrarenal aortic occlusion is feasible and midterm patency is favorable.
