Abstract
A patient with isolated dissection of the common iliac artery is prese nted. A 56-year-old man was admitted because of sudden intermittent cl audication of the left lower limb. Angiography showed a left popliteal artery interruption associated with an asymptomatic dissection of the right common iliac artery. The patient was treated with a left femoro popliteal bypass and a right aortofemoral bypass. The etiology of prim ary dissections of peripheral arteries is discussed.
