External iliac artery endofibrosis is a recognized cause of exertional leg claudication in young, high-endurance athletes. However, significant diagnostic delays often occur owing to the inability of standard testing to replicate exercise-induced...
-
Athlete’s iliac artery endofibrosis—the inguinal ligament plays a major role
Background Athlete's iliac artery syndrome, first described in 1984, is a condition in which the iliac arteries, typically the external iliac, develop endofibrosis, leading to arterial stenosis and blood flow disruption during exercise. The syndrome...

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....

Claudicatio intermittens beim jungen Patienten
Die Ursachen einer Claudicatio intermittens bei jungen Patienten können vielfältig sein. Neben entzündlichen oder embolisch bedingten Erkrankungen oder auch zentralen Stenosen in der Aorta, welche Einfluss auf die Gefäßdurchgängigkeit haben, geht es...

L’endofibrose artérielle (EA) iliaque externe est une maladie vasculaire non-athéromateuse spécifique du sportif. 90% des patients sont des cyclistes jeunes sans facteur de risque de maladie cardiovasculaire traditionnelle. L’EA est une lésion...
-
Background: Flow limitations in the iliac arteries (FLIA) is a sport-related vascular condition increasingly recognised as an occupational risk for professional cyclists and other endurance athletes. Surgical reconstruction is the definitive treatment...
-
External Iliac Artery Endofibrosis: A Systematic Literature Review and a Report of Two Cases
Background: External iliac artery endofibrosis is a non-atherosclerotic disease. It affects young individuals, particularly cyclists. Materials and Methods: A systematic literature review was conducted to highlight the intriguing aspects of this...
-
Pedaling Through Pain: A Case Report of Iliac Artery Endofibrosis in a Competitive Cyclist
Iliac artery endofibrosis (IAE) is a rare cause of leg pain in young, healthy endurance athletes, particularly in male competitive cyclists. The prevailing hypothesis suggests that it is due to mechanical trauma of the iliac artery from long-standing...

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...

Sensitivity to entrance conditions of wall shear stress in a curved vessel
This study aims to numerically investigate the impact of entrance velocity distributions on wall shear stress in a simplified curved vessel model. The flow in a single‑curved vessel is simulated with Reynolds numbers adjusted to a Newtonian...
-
Long-term outcome of percutaneous endovascular stenting in external iliac artery endofibrosis
Background: External iliac artery endofibrosis (EIAE) is a rare vascular disease which has been traditionally seen in avid cyclists. The conventional approach has been surgery, although no high-quality evidence suggests superiority of surgery over...
-
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...
-
Case: This report describes a 25-year-old female professional triathlete with right external iliac artery endofibrosis (EIAE) that was definitively diagnosed on contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance images obtained immediately after treadmill running....
-
Hintergrund: Die iliakale Endofibrose (IE) ist eine seltene arterielle Erkrankung bei Ausdauerathleten, insbesondere Radrennfahrern und Triathleten. Die Diagnostik gilt als Herausforderung, die Latenz vom Beginn erster Symptome bis zur Diagnosestellung...
-
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...
-
We determined the diagnostic, surgical, and long-term quality of life outcomes for patients with iliac artery endofibrosis, an underrecognized disease that affects the performance and well-being of elite endurance athletes. {dearflip id=79}

A Tale of 2 Wheels: When Too Much "Spinning" Can Get You in Trouble
Cycling is a worldwide sport passionately practiced and followed by millions of people across the globe. While many of us see it as an enjoyable leisure activity or a healthy way to commute to and from work, for some recreational cyclists it can become...

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...
