Abstract
The majority of vascular injuries in young children are iatrogenic. This is a report
of two complete external iliac artery disruptions occurring during percutaneous transfemoral
balloon aortic valvuloplasty in a 2-year-old and a 5-year-old child. The damaged external
iliac artery was bypassed by extensively mobilizing the hypogastric surgery and rotating
it upward to anastomose it to the proximal common femoral artery. Normal limb pulses,
function, and growth were noted in follow-up.
