We report on a novel approach to correcting iliac artery occlusions caused by aortic counterpulsation. Two patients who had leg ischemia after retrieval of an intraaortic balloon pump underwent angiograms that showed occlusion of the right external iliac artery because of dissection (one case) or thrombosis (one case). Percutaneous self-expandable stents were implanted in the occluded vessels, and they fully restored normal iliac patency with no complications and satisfactory midterm follow-up results. We conclude that iliac artery occlusion induced by aortic counterpulsation can be safely treated by implanting self-expandable stents in cases of acute iatrogenic dissection.
