Abstract
A case of intraluminal protrusion of completely disrupted intima of the external iliac
artery caused by blunt trauma to the inguinal ligament has been presented. There was
no associated bony fracture. At the time of surgical exploration, no distortion of
the external appearance of the involved artery was found. Because of the distance
of subintimal dissection with thrombosis, a vascular prosthesis was inserted between
the external iliac artery and common femoral artery by end-to-end anastomoses. The
involved segment was resected. The patency of the graft was documented by arteriographic
evidence and the presence of peripheral pulsation. A detailed account of this particular
type of acute arterial injury has been made with a brief review of the literature.
