Journal of Vascular Diseases, Volume 4, Issue 1

March 2025 - 11 articles

Cover Story: We present an 81-year-old male with an extensive past medical history and an enlarging abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). Axial imaging showed dense aortoiliac calcification with a complete occlusion of the right common iliac and high-grade stenosis of the left common iliac artery (CIA). Shockwave Intravascular Lithotripsy and the pave-and-crack technique utilizing an endoconduit were used to dilate the left external iliac artery and the CIA to facilitate placement of an aortic stent graft and exclude the patient’s AAA. This method gives surgeons the ability to treat patients with AAAs endovascularly, despite a heavily diseased and/or diminutive iliac anatomy. We also present a contemporary literature review of the utilization of the pave-and-crack technique as well as tips and tricks of how we do it. View this paper
