A 45-year-old woman was presented with a 2-year history of left lower limb claudication symptoms occurring only during long-distance running. Multimodal imaging with exercise duplex ultrasonography and magnetic resonance angiogram confirmed the presence of flow-limiting stenoses in the left external iliac artery consistent with a diagnosis of left external iliac artery endofibrosis. She successfully underwent a left external iliac endarterectomy with vein patch repair and returned to full physical activity soon after. A year following full recovery from her original operation, she presented with similar symptoms on the right side and was managed in a similar manner. This report illustrates an unusual case of bilateral iliac artery endofibrosis occurring in an older endurance runner. We also present a novel diagnostic modality of pre-exercise and postexercise magnetic resonance angiography for iliac endofibrosis.

Die zystische Degeneration der Adventitia (ZAD) in der A.iliaca externa ist mit zehn in der Literatur beschriebenen Fällen ein seltenes Phänomen. Eine rasch auftretende, einseitige Ischämiesymptomatik bei jungen Patienten sollte daran denken lassen und eine erweiterte präoperative Abklärung zur Folge haben. Die klassische Therapie mit Gefässresektion und Veneninterponat wird seit jeher kontrovers diskutiert. Wir berichten über einen Fall mit rezidivfreiem Verlauf über drei Jahre nach Exarterektomie.
