Gustavo S. Oderich discusses techniques for treating iliac artery chronic total occlusions (CTOs). He outlines the endovascular approach as widely accepted for TASC D lesions. Key points include choosing the femoral or brachial approach, using adjuncts like atherectomy for difficult lesions, and considering covered stents or stent grafting of the aortic bifurcation to improve patency rates over bare metal stents. The goal is to recanalize the occlusion and restore blood flow percutaneously when possible.

9. TECHNICAL CONSIDERATIONS
• Choice of approach
Femoral (ipsi/contra)
Brachial/ radial
• Hybrid endarterectomy?
• Adjuncts
Atherectomy (debulking)
Reentrance catheters/IVUS
• Choice of balloons & stent
Covered vs bare metal?
Balloon vs self-expandable?
• Aortic stenting (CERAB)?
10. CHOICE OF APPROCH
• Retrograde approach
- More convenient, but can be difficult to reentry
• Antegrade approach
- Easier reentry, easier to stay central-luminal
- Avoids dissections at the aortic bifurcation
• Contralateral femoral (up & over)
- Less support but possible
• Brachial or radial
- More support but cumbersome
19. IVUS ASSISTED RECANALIZATION
• Percutaneous Right CFA
• Left Femoral Endarterectomy
• Retrograde left iliac SIA
• Reentrance into distal aortic
bifurcation
• Bilateral Kissing CIA stenting
•Left EIA stenting to the CFA
21. BALLOONS & STENTS
• Long Balloons:
Start with smaller,
than the desired
outcome
• Balloon Expandable Stents
for Common iliac arteries
and calcified external iliac
arteries
• Self-Expanding Stents for
tortuous external iliac
arteriesUndersize
22. Do not rebuild the aortic bifurcation unnecessarily high
Separate aortic stenting then small overlap of iliac stents
KISSING STENTS
Too High Just right
23. • Inability to agressively dilate
narrow aortic bifurcations
• Difference in stent configuration
• Dead space around stents
• Turbulence, stasis, re-circulation
around cells of stent and dead
space

Thrombus formation

29. CONCLUSIONS
• Endovascular approach has been widely accepted
as first option in many patients with TASC D iliac
lesions
• Brachial approach may be needed in a minority of
patients with difficult lesions
• Use of adjuncts (reentrance, atherectomy) may
increase technical success
• Covered stents and CERAB needs to be
considered to improve patency rates
