Article Synopsis
- Severe iliac artery calcification can prevent patients with end-stage renal disease from being eligible for kidney transplants.
- There are limited surgical options available for treating this calcification, highlighting the need for improved methods to help patients access transplant care.

We describe an extension of this procedure to our hemodynamically unstable non-trauma patients.
