Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty is a very common procedure and it is considered quite a
safe and effective technique. We present a case of a patient who developed acute occlusion of the
aorta and iliac vessels following bilateral aortoiliac angioplasty. There have been cases reported of
acute iliac and femoral occlusion following bilateral aortoiliac angioplasty but so far there has not
been a reported case of acute occlusion of the aorta following aortic and bilateral iliac procedures.
Key words
Vascular occlusion; aorta; balloon angioplasty;
bilateral; aortoiliac; iliac; femoral.
