Iliac artery rupture is a rare complication of poststenting angioplasty and can lead to massive lifethreatening haemorrhage. Conventional surgery can not repair the damaged vessel easily and may cause substantial blood loss and high operative morbidity and mortality. We report our experience with a selfexpanding covered endoprosthesis for endovascular repair of the rupture of an iliac artery caused by stenting angioplasty.
