SIMULTANEOUS KISSING STENT TECHNIQUE (SKS) IN A PATIENT WITH AORTOILIAC OCCLUSIVE DISEASE

Abstract

A 44 year old smoker and hypertensive male presented with complaints of
claudication of the hip and impotence. Investigations revealed stenosis in distal
aorta (infra renal) extending into the origin of common iliac arteries. The patient
was managed with endovascular reconstruction by using the novel simultaneous
kissing stent technique. Six month follow up showed considerable improvement
of symptoms with repeat angiogram exhibiting 100% patency of the stents.
