Approximately one in five top-level cyclists will develop sports-related flow limitations in the iliac arteries. These flow limitations may be caused by a vascular lumen narrowing due to endofibrotic thickening of the intima and/or by kinking of the...
-
Flow limitations in the iliac arteries of endurance athletes during exercise were previously ascribed solely to intravascular lesions. We postulate that functional kinking of the arteries can also result in flow limitations. However, the diagnostic...

Leg complaints at maximal exercise in endurance athletes may have many causes, including arterial flow limitations in the iliac arteries. Such flow limitations can evolve into serious health problems due to increasing intravascular obstruction or even...
-
Purpose: Kinking of the iliac arteries can cause flow limitations in endurance athletes. Such kinking may be treated by surgical release of the iliac arteries. However, when the length of the iliac artery is excessive, this may not be effective....
-
Background: Endurance athletes often have restrictions in flow in their iliac arteries during exercise. Such restrictions have previously been ascribed solely to intravascular lesions. We postulate that flow could also be restricted by functional...

Pain and powerless feeling in the leg during cycling may indicate a serious problem that limits the performance in cyclists. Apart from the well-known muscular and neurological origin, such complaints can also be attributed to flow limitations in the...
