Iliac endofibrosis (IE) may cause lower limb ischaemia in younger endurance athletes (cyclists, triathletes, and long distance runners) as a result of subintimal fibrosis of predominantly the external iliac artery. Typical symptoms are reversible fatigue and ischaemic pain of the thigh (and calf) during strenuous exercise.
