Aims: Iliac artery stenting is commonly performed via the ipsilateral or contralateral femoral artery. However, transradial intervention is less invasive than the transfemoral approach. We evaluated initial results of transradial iliac artery stenting.
Methods And Results: We implanted stents in 32 iliac arteries of 30 patients via the radial artery. Transradial intervention was attempted at the discretion of the operator. Clinical data were analyzed retrospectively. Patients were excluded using a scheduled bidirectional approach. Twenty-one patients were male. In all, 8, 20, 16, and 9 patients had diabetes mellitus, hypertension, dyslipidemia, and smoking habit, respectively. In all, 30 lesions were stenosed and only 2 were occluded. A total of 39 stents were inserted, of which 36 were E-Luminexx stents and the other 3 were SMART control stents. All lesions were successfully treated with a good final angiographic result via a 6F radial access system. Ankle brachial index significantly improved from 0.68 ± 0.13 to 0.92 ± 0.15 (P < .01). Hospital stay was 2.09 ± 1.12 days. None of the patients had any procedural or access site-related complications (hematoma, major bleeding, blood transfusion, stroke, cholesterol embolism, aortic dissection, or arterial perforation).
Conclusions: Transradial iliac artery stenting is a feasible and safe alternative in carefully selected patients.

Background: Due to the heterogeneity of literature findings, stent type selection for the endovascular treatment of complex aorto-iliac occlusive disease remains challenging. The BELSTREAM study, a physician-initiated, prospective, multicenter, single-arm study, aims to report the safety and efficacy of the balloon expandable LifeStream Peripheral Stent Graft System (BD, Tempe, Arizona, USA) for the treatment of complex TASC C and D aorto-iliac artery lesions.
Methods: Seventy patients and 133 lesions were included at six Belgian institutions.

Objective: Antithrombotic therapy improves endovascular intervention outcomes for peripheral artery disease. However, there are limited data guiding the choice and duration of these adjuvant therapies. Thus, we explored current antithrombotic prescribing preferences among vascular interventionalists, hypothesizing that there are varied and inconsistent treatment practices among providers.

Although the deep circumflex iliac artery (DCIA) flap is a mainstay in mandibular reconstruction, its multi-segmental utilization is infrequently reported, primarily due to concerns regarding the variable cutaneous component and potentially inadequate vascular supply to multi-block segments. This retrospective study analyzed the outcomes of 86 patients undergoing mandibular reconstruction with multi-segmental DCIA flaps, compared to 167 patients who received conventional single-segmental flaps. The survival rate for multi-segmental flaps was comparable to that of single-segmental flaps (100% vs.

Introduction: The anterior division of the internal iliac artery (ADIIA) is a crucial vascular structure that supplies blood to the pelvic organs, perineum, and gluteal region. The present study demonstrates practical data concerning the anatomy of the ADIIA and its branches. It is hoped that the results of the current study may aid in localizing the pelvic arteries effectively.

May-Thurner syndrome (MTS), iliac vein compression syndrome, also called Cockett syndrome, is a vascular disease caused by the compression of the left common iliac vein (LCIV) by the right common iliac artery (RCIA) against the lumbar vertebrae. This anatomical defect can lead to venous stasis especially in the left lower limb, and this increases the risk of deep venous thrombosis (DVT). Because routine screening is not standard practice, MTS frequently remains asymptomatic, and its prevalence is probably underestimated.
