Aorto-iliac arterial occlusive disease is common and may cause a spectrum of chronic symptoms from intermittent claudication to critical limb ischemia. Treatment is indicated for symptoms that have failed lifestyle and medical therapies or occasionally to facilitate other interventional procedures such as TAVR and/or placement of hemodynamic assist devices. It is widely accepted that TASC A, B, and C lesions are best managed with endovascular intervention. In experienced hands, most TASC D lesions may be treated by endovascular methods, and with the development of chronic total occlusion devices, many aorto-iliac occlusions may be recanalized safely by endovascular means. Interventional cardiologists should be well versed in the anatomy, as well as the treatment of aorto-iliac disease, given their need to traverse these vessels during transfemoral procedures. Overall, aorto-iliac occlusive disease is more commonly being treated with an endovascular-first approach, using open surgery as a secondary option. This document was developed to guide physicians in the clinical decision-making related to the contemporary application of endovascular intervention among patients with aorto-iliac arterial disease.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007083 Iliac Artery Either of two large arteries originating from the abdominal aorta; they supply blood to the pelvis, abdominal wall and legs. Deep Circumflex Iliac Artery,Arteries, Iliac,Artery, Iliac,Iliac Arteries
D011237 Predictive Value of Tests In screening and diagnostic tests, the probability that a person with a positive test is a true positive (i.e., has the disease), is referred to as the predictive value of a positive test; whereas, the predictive value of a negative test is the probability that the person with a negative test does not have the disease. Predictive value is related to the sensitivity and specificity of the test.

D015641 Radiography, Interventional Diagnostic and therapeutic procedures that are invasive or surgical in nature, and require the expertise of a specially trained radiologist. In general, they are more invasive than diagnostic imaging but less invasive than major surgery. They often involve catheterization, fluoroscopy, or computed tomography. Some examples include percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography, percutaneous transthoracic biopsy, balloon angioplasty, and arterial embolization. Interventional Radiography
