Abstract :
Surgical management of advance aortoiliac occlusive disease is time-tested and a widely practiced strategy, particularly when
there is significant coronary artery disease associated with aortoiliac occlusive disease. The technological advances in the field of
percutaneous techniques have facilitated the use of nonsurgical endovascular alternatives for peripheral arterial disease in patients
with significant comorbidities at high surgical risk, as illustrated in our case report. We report a case of chronic total occlusion of
the aorta that was treated percutaneously with endovascular stenting. We also discuss the specific technique used in this procedure.
