External iliac artery fibrosis in endurance athletes successfully treated with bypass grafting
Endofibrosis of the external iliac artery is a rare cause of performance-limiting claudication in elite athletes. We describe a 47-year-old male competitive cyclist and a 52-year-old female former international triathlete, with unilateral and bilateral...

[External Iliac Artery Endofibrosis in Marathoner] 마라토너에서 발생한 외장골동맥의 혈관섬유증
Endofibrosis of the external iliac arteries (IE) occurs in some high-performance athletes can develop symptomatic arterial flow restriction in one or both (15%) legs due to kinking and/or IE, particularly female cyclists, and causes leg pain on extreme...
-
External iliac artery endofibrosis describes an intimal subendothelial fibrosis leading to wall thickening and stenosis that has been described in high-performance athletes. There are anatomical, mechanical, and probably metabolic factors that may...

Cycling related common femoral artery disease: an unusual case in an otherwise healthy male
A cyclist reported gradual onset, bilateral leg claudication without any atherosclerotic risk factors and with a normal vascular examination. Duplex ultrasound and magnetic resonance angiography revealed bilateral focal stenoses due to coralline...

Acute thrombosis of external iliac artery secondary to endofibrosis
Iliac endofibrosis is a rare condition caused by chronic wall stress and a subsequent progressive fibrosis that usually affects the external iliac artery. It can present with intermittent claudication and is most commonly found in young athletes...

External iliac artery dissection secondary to endofibrosis in a cyclist
Endofibrosis of the external iliac artery is an uncommon disease affecting primarily young, otherwise healthy, endurance athletes. Thigh pain during maximal exercise with quick resolution postexercise is characteristic of the so-called cyclist's iliac...

External iliac vein stenosis owing to prolonged cycling
Prolonged cycling has previously been associated with external iliac artery stenosis, termed "cyclists' iliac syndrome." However, no association between external iliac vein stenoses and cycling has been previously described. We describe a unique case...

Endofibrosis of the External Iliac Artery
A 25-year-old male professional cyclist presented with claudication at his left leg. He consulted his sports physician two months ago with lumbalgia and ischiatiform pain at his left leg. MRI of the lumbar spine was performed and did not reveal any...

SIR 2008 Annual Meeting Film Panel Case: Arterial Endofibrosis
The patient was a 31-year-old Armenian-American woman, single and nulliparous. She was an avid amateur athlete, formerly successful in competitive long-distance running and road bicycling. She had a 2-year history of bilateral thigh claudication during...

Iliac Artery Endofibrosis in Athletes: A Case Series
Introduction Endofibrosis of the external iliac arteries (IE) occurs in some high-performance athletes, particularly female cyclists, and causes leg pain on extreme exertion. Establishing the diagnosis in these cases is challenging, because a vascular...
-
We describe a case of external iliac artery endofibrosis in an amateur competitive runner. The diagnosis was made by a combination of hemodynamic, angiographic and histopathological assessment and percutaneous revascularization was performed using a...
-
Bilateral dissection of external iliac artery
External iliac artery (EIA) dissection and especially bilateral involvement is very rare. We report the case of a 49-year-old male intense bicyclist who had presented a dissection of the left EIA responsible for claudication. He underwent an...

External iliac artery occlusion in a young female cyclist
After 8 years of high performance training in mountain biking, a top female athlete, aged 23, first complained of diffuse, exercise-induced pain in both thighs. Over a period of the next 4 years, a slight but continuous reduction in her performance was...

Arteriopathy in the high-performance athlete
Pain occurs frequently in high-performance athletes and is most often due to musculoskeletal injury or strain. However, athletes who participate in sports that require highly frequent, repetitive limb motion can also experience pain from an underlying...

Claudicatio intermittens bij een 26-jarige wielrenner
Een 26-jarige man, een amateurwielrenner, zonder risicofactoren voor vaatlijden of een voorafgaand trauma presenteerde zich met claudicatieklachten van de linker kuit. Bij aanvullend onderzoek werd een occlusie van de A. iliaca externa opgespoord....

Iliac Artery Syndrome: Successful Outcome After Endarterectomy and Vein Patch Angioplasty
Iliac artery syndrome has been described in competition cyclists or other endurance athletes who present with claudication during intense activity. It may be difficult to diagnose, as the patient's pulses and ankle brachial pressure index (ABPI) are...

External iliac artery endofibrosis: a new possible predisposing factor
External iliac artery endofibrosis (EIAE) is an uncommon disease that affects a large number of athletes. The pathogenesis of EIAE is unclear. We offer an additional possible cause, with a direct relationship between EIAE and psoas muscle hypertrophy....
