Abstract

The case of an 80-year-old male with claudication of his left foot who was referred to our hospital for evaluation and treatment. Computed tomography (CT) angiography revealed occlusion of left common and external iliac (EIA) arteries. Recanalization of the EIA lesion under intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) guidance and placement of 2 stent grafts was completed successfully. Nine months later, 27 × 29 mm pseudoaneurysm of the left EIA was identified that appeared to have developed secondary to migration of the original stent graft. A new stent graft was placed.

Keywords: external iliac artery; pseudoaneurysm; stent migration.
