IMAGES
An elderly lady had an ischaemic ulcer and rest pain in the toes. Past medical
history was significant for livedoid vasculopathy and vasculitic neuropathy, for
which she was on sildenafil (a selective inhibitor of phosphodiesterase-5, an
enzyme that inactivates cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP)), statin, and
clopidogrel .
KISSING STENTS is a widely used technique for the manage-
ment of aortoiliac occlusive disease involving the aortic bifurcation or
proximal common iliac arteries. Stents were placed bilaterally and in con-
tact with each other for additional support.
