Endofibrosis of the external iliac artery is a rare cause of performance-limiting claudication in elite athletes. We describe a 47-year-old male competitive cyclist and a 52-year-old female former international triathlete, with unilateral and bilateral external artery occlusions, respectively, who presented with disabling claudication and an inability to cycle or run. Due to a long-segment occlusion, both were treated with Dacron bypass grafting. Both were able to return to competitive racing postoperatively.
髂外动脉纤维组织增生是精英运动员中导致功能受限性跛行的罕见原因。我们描述了一名47岁的男性职业自行车运动员和一名52岁的女性前国际铁人三项运动员，他们分别出现单侧和双侧髂外动脉闭塞，表现为致残性跛行，无法骑自行车或跑步。由于存在长段闭塞，两人均接受了涤纶搭桥移植术治疗。两人术后均能够重返竞技比赛。
