ABSTRACT
In the treatment of aortoiliac disease, two methods could be considered. One is percutaneous transluminal angioplasty, and the other is bypass graft. However sometimes two methods could be combined in high risk patients with a lengthy unilateral occlusion of one iliac artery and less extensive obstruction of the contralateral one, since higher risk aortofemoral bypass surgery may be obviated by femoro-femoral bypass graft after percutaneous treatment of the less diseased iliac artery. We report two cases of arortoiliac disease treated with Strecker stent followed by femoro-femoral bypass graft.
