  • Title: Recanalization of flush iliac occlusions with the assistance of a contralateral iliac occlusive balloon.
    Author: Bechara CF, Barshes NR, Lin PH, Kougias P.
    Journal: J Vasc Surg; 2012 Mar; 55(3):872-4. PubMed ID: 22169670.
    Abstract:
    Treating flush iliac artery occlusion by endovascular means can be very challenging and is a cause of technical failure requiring open surgical intervention. We describe a simple endovascular technique that can be valuable in increasing technical success and avoiding the use of a re-entry device. The technique involves placing an occlusive contralateral iliac artery balloon to assist in recanalizing a flush iliac artery occlusion.
