Elective surgical repair has traditionally been considered to be the treatment of choice for the exclusion of isolated iliac artery aneurysms (IAAs). Recently, endovascular repair has evolved as an alternative to surgical repair, especially in patients at high surgical risk. However, in the absence of sufficient proximal necks, iliac artery aneurysms are not suitable for direct deployment of a ...

Background A solitary iliac aneurysm (SIA) is more uncommon than an abdominal aortic aneurysm. The aneurysm is located in the deep pelvis and is diagnosed when it reaches a large size with symptoms of compression around adjacent structures and organs or when it ruptures. A definite diagnosis of an arteriovenous fistula (AVF) associated with a SIA is difficult preoperatively because there might ...

Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm foll l lowing previous deployment of an endol l luminal graft is a relatively new vascular emergency. As more patients are treated by endovascular repair, more will present with postlEVAR acute AAA. This new challenging entity is raising the need for new treatment strategies. We describe a case of postlEVAR ruptured AAA that was manag...

OBJECTIVES To review the mechanisms, diagnosis and treatment options for symptomatic iliac artery compression in cyclists. METHODS Pubmed, Medline, Embase and Google were searched using combinations of the terms 'iliac artery disease', 'iliac artery compression', 'iliac artery stenosis', 'cyclists' and 'athletes'. RESULTS Tethering of the iliac artery by the psoas arterial branch and fibrou...

A 28-year-old German-Caucasian man arrived with deep vein thrombosis DVT, pain, oedema and rubor of right lower limb and drug abuse. The US Doppler imaging showed an autogenic AV fistula and false aneurysm of the right superficial femoral artery and femoral vein. The CT imaging showed additional closing of the left external iliac artery and common femoral artery, and of the distal and middle pa...

OBJECTIVE To examine contemporary operative techniques and outcomes for repair of isolated iliac artery aneurysms. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the charts of all patients who underwent repair of an isolated iliac artery aneurysm from February 1995 to June 2007. Mycotic aneurysms and patients with concurrent infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysms greater than 3.5 cm in diameter were excl...
