Case We report the case of a woman who had a left common iliac artery laceration during spinal surgery and was treated by endovascular therapy. In the past, open surgery was the only way to repair a vascular injury, but thanks to the advance of new endovascular techniques and devices, endovascular therapy has become a strong alternative. Conclusion This case differs from those published in the literature as we used a single balloon inflation and subtotal occlusion without the need for a covered stent.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/embargoedAccessIliac Artery LacerationLumbar Disk SurgeryBalloon OcclusionEndovascular RepairArticle22Supplement: 3S350S35210.1007/s00586-012-2436-3Q2Q1
