Key result
Open aortic endarterectomy with bovine pericardial patch successfully resolves severe infrarenal stenosis in young patient.
Why the study?
Aortic endarterectomy remains a viable but less frequently performed option for managing focal aortoiliac occlusive disease in select patients.

Aortic endarterectomy with bovine patch angioplasty serves as an effective alternative to endovascular intervention or bypass in young patients with small-caliber vessels and localized aortoiliac occlusive disease.
Background Aortoiliac occlusive disease (AIOD) is most commonly managed with endovascular intervention or aortobifemoral bypass. Although less frequently performed in modern practice, aortic endarterectomy remains a viable option in select patients with focal disease. Case presentation 39-year-old man with severe claudication and rest pain due to near-occlusive infrarenal aortic stenosis who was successfully treated with open infrarenal aortic endarterectomy and bovine pericardial patch angioplasty. Conclusion This case highlights aortic endarterectomy as an effective alternative to endovascular intervention or bypass in young patients with small-caliber vessels and localized disease.
