Endovascular salvage of the hypogastric artery using iliac branch device (IBD) during endovascular aortic aneurysm repair (EVAR), offers less invasive alternative solution to surgery to prevent pelvic ischemia. We have performed the first Korean surgeon custom-made IBD for this purpose to overcome the limitation of unavailability of the devices in Korea. Four patients with abdominal aortic aneu...

UNLABELLED Internal iliac artery ligation has been a valued method of treating postpartum haemorrhage saving women's fertility. It is considered as an irreversible procedure with no possibility of recanalisation. The manuscript concerns a case of unilateral recanalisation of the hypogastric artery after ligation as a method of postpartum haemorrhage treatment. MATERIAL 24 year old woman with ...

During endovascular aneurysm repair, interruption of the inferior mesenteric artery (IMA) or internal iliac arteries (IIAs) is thought to be associated with postoperative pelvic ischemic complications, including ischemic colitis. However, preserving the IIA does not guarantee protection against ischemic colitis. We herein report two cases of bilateral common iliac artery aneurysms, which were t...

Pulsatile scrotal masses are extremely rare. We report the first case of pulsatile and painful scrotal mass that had an arterial collateral circulation, equivalent to an arterioarterial shunt, feeding an excluded internal iliac artery aneurysm after aortobifemoral bypass surgery.

Only 5 cases of ruptured aneurysm of the persistent sciatic artery have been previously reported to date. We experienced a case of ruptured aneurysm of the persistent sciatic artery presenting acute lower limb ischemia. Physical examination showed a pulsatile mass with a subcutaneous hemorrhage in the left buttock, drop foot and paresthesia of the foot due to limb ischemia. An enhanced computed...

INTRODUCTION The objective of this study was to describe the implementation and to evaluate the short-term outcome of the first Danish experience with endovascular repair of ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm (RAAA). METHODS This was a historical prospective cohort study including all patients at Odense University Hospital, Denmark, treated for RAAA and/or iliac artery aneurysm rupture from 1...
