Diagnostic Approach and Management of Iliac Artery Endofibrosis in Athletes: A Scoping Review
Iliac artery endofibrosis (IAE) is a rare vascular condition with an estimated global prevalence of 0.01%. It primarily affects endurance athletes, especially cyclists, and often presents with exercise-induced leg discomfort or reduced performance....

External iliac artery endofibrosis in females: Case reports and review of the literature
In the past four decades, reports of an unusual vascular disease affecting young and otherwise healthy endurance athletes have begun to emerge. This rare entity has been coined as external iliac artery endofibrosis (EIAE). It has been primarily...
-
Iliac artery endofibrosis: diagnostic dilemna and treatment options
Background: External iliac artery endofibrosis (EIAE) is an uncommon pathology, predominantly occurring in cyclists, caused by thickening of the external iliac artery intima. Symptoms are exercise-dependent and typically consist of pain, muscle cramps...

External Iliac Artery Endofibrosis: A Discussion on Two Unique Cases
Iliac artery endofibrosis (IAE), as the name suggests, involves subintimal fibrosis of the iliac artery. IAE is most commonly associated with competitive athletics, particularly cycling, and remains a rather underappreciated diagnosis in the clinical...
-
Endofibrosis is a rare condition affecting blood vessels, occurring mainly among young healthy athletes. This condition arises as progressive stenosis of the iliac arteries, which attenuates the blood circulation of the limb, thus leading to pain...
-
In high level endurance competition, 10-20% of the athletes suffer from claudication symptoms. The underlying causes can be intravascular lesion such as endofibrosis, or functional lesions such as kinking and/or excessive length of vessel. We discuss a...

Intravascular Ultrasound as a Valuable Tool in Iliac Endofibrosis Diagnostics
Iliac endofibrosis (IE) may cause lower limb ischaemia in younger endurance athletes (cyclists, triathletes, and long distance runners) as a result of subintimal fibrosis of predominantly the external iliac artery. Typical symptoms are reversible...

Vascular Disease Patient Information Page: External iliac artery endofibrosis
External iliac artery endofibrosis (EIAE), also known as ‘cyclist’s iliac syndrome’, is an uncommon condition typically affecting young high-endurance athletes. Though EIAE was first described in the 1980s as a cause of lower leg pain in professional...

Claudicatio des jungen Menschen Vaskuläre Kompressionssyndrome der unteren Extremität
Die Claudicatio beim jungen Menschen ist eine seltene Entität. In Abwesenheit bekannter Risikofaktoren der Atherosklerose ist die klassische periphere arterielle Verschlusskrankheit (pAVK) als Ursache eher unwahrscheinlich. An Differenzialdiagnosen...

Overview of arterial pathology related to repetitive trauma in athletes
Background/objective: Sport-related vascular trauma is an important consequence of increased physical activity. Repetitive, high-intensity movements predispose athletes to vascular disease, including arterial pathology, by exerting increased pressure...
