We describe a 54-year-old man with type 2 diabetes mellitus, ischemic myopathy, pulmonary hypertension, and end-stage renal disease who was admitted for heart failure and listed for a dual cardiac-renal transplantation. Extensive calcification in the iliac arteries prevented clamping. Proximal endovascular balloon control of the left iliac artery was achieved using contralateral access; distal control was established by passing a Fogarty catheter distally through an iliac arteriotomy, later used for anastomosis of the cadaveric conduit. Postoperative Doppler imaging confirmed adequate renal perfusion. The patient was discharged in stable condition. This report presents a novel one-stage intravascular occlusion method for calcified arteries.

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.

May-Thurner syndrome is an anatomical anomaly characterized by venous compression of the iliac vein by the arterial system. It is more common in women. It may be asymptomatic or lead to symptoms related to hypertension/venous occlusion, namely, edema of the lower limb.

Background: Aortoiliac screening before kidney transplantation is suggested by some guidelines to select patients for transplantation and to assist surgical planning. We investigated the clinical outcomes of systematic screening for aortoiliac disease in potential kidney transplant candidates.
Methods: In this observational study, 470 potential kidney transplant candidates underwent aortoiliac computed tomography angiography.

Background: The aim of the study was to explore a feasible method for alleviating limb ischemia-reperfusion injury (LI/RI) through the use of a high-concentration citrate solution (HC-A solution) for limb perfusion (LP).
Methods: Eighteen pigs were divided into three groups: the Sham group, LI/RI group, and HCA group. The Sham group underwent exposure of the iliac artery and vein.
