Abstract We present a case of an unusual arterial – arterial anastamosis that resulted from an unsuccessful attempt at crossing a total occlusion of the common iliac artery. Subsequently, we were able to successful recanalize the artery using a modified technique with the Outback reentry catheter. © 2009 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
