In high level endurance competition, 10-20% of the athletes suffer from claudication symptoms. The underlying causes can be intravascular lesion such as endofibrosis, or functional lesions such as kinking and/or excessive length of vessel. We discuss a case of left external iliac artery kinking in an otherwise healthy male who has been a longstanding, avid cyclist. We describe his presenting symptoms, diagnosis, and our management of his problem.
