Description
Alexandre Araujo Pereira and co-authors borrowed a heart procedure to fix a leg artery fork, and report the first such use in a 2026 case. A 46-year-old man had lifestyle-limiting leg pain on walking from a heavily calcified narrowing where the iliac artery splits toward the pelvis and the leg.
The double-kissing double-crush method, routine for coronary forks, stents both branches of a split in a choreographed sequence that keeps each branch open. Applied here across the common, internal, and external iliac arteries, it restored flow. At twelve months the man remained free of symptoms with the stents open, evidence that heart-born techniques can travel to the pelvis.
