Abstract

We report life-threatening bleeding from an external iliac artery perforation following guidewire manipulation in a patient with atherosclerotic iliac artery disease. This complication was successfully managed by indigenous hand-made stent-graft made from two peripheral stents in the catheterization laboratory.

Keywords: Iliac artery rupture; Retroperitoneal hematoma; Stent-graft.
