Type 1 endoleak of common iliac artery (type I(b) endoleak) should be treated during endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR). An 86-year-old female was diagnosed with abdominal aortic aneurysm measuring 6.6 cm in diameter and right internal iliac artery aneurysm measuring 4.0 cm in diameter. She underwent EVAR after right internal iliac artery embolization. There was type I(b) endoleak, which was r...

Endovascular repair of iliac artery aneurysms has emerged as an alternative to traditional open surgical repair. Although there is little consensus on indications to preserve hypogastric blood flow during aneurysm repair, it is well understood that complications from bilateral hypogastric occlusion may be significant. The GORE EXCLUDER Iliac Branch Endoprosthesis (W. L. Gore and Associates, Fla...

This is to report the technique of reversed iliac leg stent-graft in endovascular treatment for isolated internal iliac artery (IIA) aneurysm, which had significant size discrepancy between the common iliac artery (CIA) and external iliac artery (EIA) in 3 patients from different hospitals. Three patients were a 85- and two 82-year-old men. Treated were right IIA aneurysms, sized 6.5×6.2 cm, 5....

PURPOSE Endovascular repair of aortoiliac aneurysms may be limited by extension of the aneurysm to the iliac bifurcation, necessitating endpoint implantation in the external iliac artery. In such cases the circulation to the internal iliac artery is interrupted. Bilateral internal iliac artery occlusion during endovascular repair may be associated with significant morbidity, including gluteal c...

Segmental arterial mediolysis is a noninflammatory nonatherosclerotic vasculopathy of uncertain etiology characterized by dissection and/or aneurysm formation. It affects medium-to-large arteries, primarily the celiac, superior mesenteric, and renal arteries. Iliac involvement rare, its specific treatment has not been described. We detail patient who presented with intrabdominal hemorrhage from...

UNLABELLED Vascular complications after kidney transplantation are uncommon, and in most cases they present in the early post-transplant period. Anastomotic pseudo-aneurysms usually involve the renal transplant artery anastomosis and in most cases are the consequence of a mycotic contamination during organ recovery or handling of the graft. We report the case of a 61 year-old woman, who present...

An 84-year-old man with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) was referred to our institution for further treatment of severe swelling of the left lower extremity. The left iliac vein was compressed by the abdominal aortic aneurysm and a right common iliac arterial aneurysm measuring 62 mm and 45 mm in diameter and was partially thrombosed. Multiple pulmonary artery embolisms were also n...

An 84-year-old woman with a history of surgery for cholangiocarcinoma presented to Akita University Hospital with severe right lower abdominal pain, respiratory distress, and hypotension. Computed tomography scanning revealed a ruptured right common iliac artery aneurysm with a massive right retroperitoneal hematoma and a right internal iliac artery aneurysm. Under the bilateral retroperitoneal...

© 2005 AMC Média Inc. F years after surgical repair of an infrarenal aortic aneurysm, a 64-yearold man presented with pulsatile abdominal masses located in both lower abdominal quadrants. He had a history of myocardial infarction in 1974, coronary artery bypass surgery 8 years later and a second bypass procedure for recurrent angina in 1994. The infrarenal aortic aneurysm was repaired with a st...

Internal iliac artery (IIA) aneurysms, while rare, carry a significant risk of mortality if they rupture. Endovascular intervention is now the preferred method of treatment for IIAs; however, due to technical considerations, this is not always feasible. We report a case of a patient who developed an enlarging IIA aneurysm in association with a type 2 endoleak supplied by multiple feeding arteri...
