Severe iliac artery calcification in patients with end-stage renal disease is a common barrier to listing for kidney transplant. While few surgical solutions to iliac calcification have been reported, improving treatment may thus improve access to transplant care. Here we present two cases of a novel application of remote endarterectomy of the external iliac artery to facilitate listing for renal transplant. Both patients were listed following remote endarterectomy, followed by successful renal transplants using the treated vessels.
