Endovascular treatment is increasingly employed as the treatment for symptomatic aortoiliac occlusive disease. One of the possible complications of aortoiliac stenting is the development of emboli. We present a case of a 60-year-old patient presenting with right scrotal pain immediately following aortoiliac stenting for right common iliac, proximal external iliac and proximal internal iliac arteries thrombosis. He was found to have testicular ischaemia with absent blood flow on duplex ultrasonography. The patient was managed expectantly and reduced blood flow spontaneously returned to the testis over the next few weeks.
