Summary: | The COVID-19 pandemic is disrupting the provision of acute vascular surgery across the globe. Limited evidence of the impact of nosocomial infection on patient outcomes as well as concerns about critical care capacity will likely have an impact on surgical decision-making. Endovascular therapy offers a way by which perioperative risk can be reduced for vascular patients while also reducing the impact of acute surgery on intensive care unit capacity. This case report describes the management of a patient with complex aortoiliac occlusive disease by a hybrid endovascular approach in light of these constraints, with a successful outcome. |
