    Author: Joseph T, Dion YM.
    Journal: Surg Laparosc Endosc Percutan Tech; 2009 Aug; 19(4):285-9. PubMed ID: 19692874.
    Abstract:
    INTRODUCTION: Aorto-iliac occlusive disease can cause disabling symptoms and Trans-Atlantic Inter-Society Consensus (TASC II) has recommended the treatment options for varying severity of the disease. In the TASC II article, an increasing interest for laparoscopic aorto-ilio-femoral surgery was noted. AIM: To review the literature on the minimally invasive interventions currently used in aorto-iliac occlusive disease with a focus on laparoscopic aortic surgery. METHODS: Medline search and hand search of references from relevant articles to describe the current management options for aorto-iliac occlusive disease. CONCLUSION: Laparoscopic aorto-femoral surgery is a therapeutic option for most TASC C and D lesions.
