Endofibrosis of the iliac arteries: an underestimated problem
Arterial endofibrosis is a recently discovered artery disease that is specific to endurance athletes. Cycling is the sport that has shown the greatest number of cases. The endofibrosis is located most frequently in the external iliac artery, but other...

Past, present and future of arterial endofibrosis in athletes: a point of view
Exercise-induced arterial endofibrosis (EIAE) is now a 20-year-old concept. Initially observed in highly trained cyclists, it has been found in many other male and female endurance athletes. Most stenoses are located on the first centimetres of the...

Approximately one in five top-level cyclists will develop sports-related flow limitations in the iliac arteries. These flow limitations may be caused by a vascular lumen narrowing due to endofibrotic thickening of the intima and/or by kinking of the...
-
Background: There is increasing recognition that high-performance athletes can develop symptomatic arterial flow restriction in one or both (15%) legs due to kinking and/or endofibrosis of their iliac arteries. Methods: Case report and review based on...

Claudicación intermitente en el adulto joven: arteriopatía no arteriosclerótica
Aim Intermittent claudication in young adults (ICYA) of a non-arteriosclerotic etiology is an infrequent disorder and this means that on many occasions diagnosis is delayed in generally active patients, leading to incapacity and loss of productivity....

External Iliac Artery Endofibrosis in Athletes
Atherosclerosis and inflammatory arterial diseases are rare in young people. Since the early 1980s, an increasing incidence of iliac arterial stenosis in competition cyclists has been reported. Histological findings in these individuals are specific,...

Lower Extremity Arterial Disease in Sports
The recent description of exercise-induced intimal fibrosis affecting mainly the iliac artery (and therefore usually described as external iliac artery endofibrosis) has dramatically changed the diagnostic approach of unexplained recurrent lower limb...
