Abstract

Symptomatic extrinsic compression of the external iliac artery (EIA) is a rare complication of surgical intervention. Previous cases of EIA compression have presented in the postoperative period after orthopedic surgery or vascular stenting. We report a case of right EIA compression postvenous stenting causing acute limb ischemia.
