Excessive length of iliac arteries in athletes with flow limitations measured by magnetic resonance angiography

01 maart 2002 Purpose: Kinking of the iliac arteries can cause flow limitations in endurance athletes. Such kinking may be treated by surgical release of the iliac arteries. However, when the length of the iliac artery is excessive, this may not be effective....

Detection and treatment of claudication due to functional iliac obstruction in top endurance athletes: a prospective study

09 februari 2002 Background: Endurance athletes often have restrictions in flow in their iliac arteries during exercise. Such restrictions have previously been ascribed solely to intravascular lesions. We postulate that flow could also be restricted by functional...

Arteriële insufficiëntie bij sporters op basis van endofibrose

04 augustus 2000 Arteriële insufficiëntie van de onderste extremiteiten bij sporters wordt niet altijd herkend en kan berusten op endofibrose van meestal de a. iliaca externa. Bij klachten van een zwaar, moe of verlammend gevoel en/of pijn bij intensieve...

Echography of external iliac artery endofibrosis in cyclists

01 november 1993 Forty-eight cyclists were studied for suspected external iliac artery endofibrosis with ultrasound B-mode imaging. In highly trained competition cyclists, symptoms of external iliac artery endofibrosis were characterized by lower limb claudication...

Stenotic intimal thickening of the external iliac artery in competition cyclists

01 mei 1990 Twenty-three cases of an arterial disease that affects competition cyclists are reported. Patients complained of intermittent acute claudication appearing on one lower limb only at the time of a maximal strain while cycling. Doppler hemodynamic...
