    IntroductionAlthough vascular injury during lumbar disc surgery is quite rare, it may be life threatening if not recognized and treated immediately.CaseWe report the case of a woman who had a left common iliac artery laceration during spinal surgery and was treated by endovascular therapy. In the past, open surgery was the only way to repair a vascular injury, but thanks to the advance of new endovascular techniques and devices, endovascular therapy has become a strong alternative.ConclusionThis case differs from those published in the literature as we used a single balloon inflation and subtotal occlusion without the need for a covered stent.
