This case reports the management of a patient with complex aorto-iliac occlusive disease via a hybrid endovascular approach in light of the above constraints, with a successful outcome. We report a case of a patient with acute-on-chronic TASC-II (Trans-Atlantic Inter-8 Society Consensus II) D aorto-iliac occlusive disease managed by covered endovascular 9 reconstruction of the aortic bifurcation (CERAB) as an alternative to open surgery in the era of 10 COVID-19. Early data has 16 highlighted the impact of SARS-Cov2 infection on post-operative outcomes, with mortality rates 17 as high as 40% in COVID-19-positive patients undergoing vascular surgery reported 10 . Concerns regarding post-operative mortality in the event of SARS-Cov2 infection, 7 critical care bed capacity and inpatient length of stay will undoubtedly lead to a re-imagining of 8 the role of endovascular therapy in the management of complex aorto-iliac occlusive disease.	./cache/cord-275833-c3zamfix.txt	./txt/cord-275833-c3zamfix.txt
