Abstract

A 71-year-old man presented left thigh and calf claudication for five months. These symptoms progressed to rest pain after one month. There were also no femoral pulses in both legs. Moreover, a computer angiogram revealed total occlusion from the distal aorta to the bilateral common femoral arteries. The patient had been actively smoking with a history of hypertension, dyslipidemia, and coronary artery disease. As such, a treatment option for an unfit patient with aortoiliac occlusive disease is endovascular treatment. Thus, this case report presented a new technique called covered endovascular reconstruction of aortic bifurcation (CERAB).
