Kissing Iliac Artery Stent Technique for Salvage of Hypogastric Artery Occlusion Secondary to Iliac Artery Dissection During Endovascular Aneurysm Repair.

While undergoing endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR), dissection occurred in bilateral common and external iliac arteries resulting in acute bilateral hypogastric artery occlusion. Attempts were made to reestablish flow to the left internal iliac artery via retrograde ipsilateral approach without success. A left brachial approach was used to gain access to the left internal iliac artery and kissing angioplasty and subsequent stent placement with 2 self-expanding stents was performed raising the iliac bifurcation to the level of the stent graft to salvage the internal iliac artery.
