Occlusive Disease of the Aorta and Aortic Bifurcation

Many techniques for revascularization in aortoiliac occlusive disease are available, including

surgical and endovascular procedures. However, few studies have directly compared these two

types of reconstructive procedures. Aortoiliac atherosclerosis limited to the distal aorta and

common iliac arteries occurs in approximately 10% of patients with symptomatic aortoiliac

disease (1).
