Behçet's disease is an autoimmune systemic disorder based on vasculitis which may affect the blood vessels of all sizes and sites, both arteries and veins. Although arterial involvement is rare, it is the major cause of death. Aneurysms are common in patients with Behçet's disease with a low incidence of artery stenosis or occlusion. An isolated common iliac artery or bilateral aortoiliac bifurcation stenosis were treated with balloon angioplasty and stent implantation in patients with Behçet's disease. Herein, we report a 40-year-old female case of Behçet's disease with aortoiliac occlusion treated with endovascular stent implantation.
