Aneurysms of the common iliac artery (CIAA) are most commonly seen in association with an abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). Isolated CIAAs, in the absence of an AAA, are uncommon. Similar to AAAs, CIAA may develop intraluminal thrombus (ILT). As isolated CIAAs have a contralateral common iliac artery for comparison, they provide an opportunity to study the haemodynamic mechanisms behind ILT form...

Hypogastric artery aneurysms are usually associated with aortic and common iliac aneurysm and rarely occur in isolation [1-6]. The majority of hypogastric artery aneurysms are incidentally detected on imaging of the abdomen or pelvis for unrelated complaints. Those that present in extremis are associated with acute rupture and carry a high mortality rate [1,2]. Herein we present a case of an in...

A 43-day-old boy presented with bacteremia after umbilical artery catheterization. Duplex ultrasound examination revealed a 1.1- × 1.6-cm mycotic infrarenal aortic aneurysm and an incidental asymptomatic occluded right common iliac artery. Resection and repair were completed by creating an everted, double-layered internal jugular vein patch. Screening ultrasound examination 10 months postoperat...

Emphysematous psoas muscle abscess has rarely been described and has not been reported to be associated with ruptured mycotic aneurysm. We report two cases of ruptured mycotic iliac arterial aneurysm complicated by emphysematous abscess of the left psoas muscle. Case 1 occurred in a 70-year-old man and Case 2 in a 63-year-old woman. Both patients presented with fever for several weeks. Clinical...

foramen can be misdiagnosed as neurogenic tumor on the plain radiographs and precontrast CT. We recently encountered a patient in whom a chronic-contained rupture of an internal iliac arterial aneurysm was present, and the radiographic findings suggested a presacral mass with widening of the sacral neural foramen. Subsequently, the widening of the sacral neural foramen was demonstrated to have ...

PURPOSE Retroperitoneal iliac procedures can enable successful endovascular repair of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) in patients who otherwise would not be anatomically eligible. The purpose of this study was to determine perioperative outcome with adjunctive retroperitoneal procedures compared with standard bilateral femoral exposure. METHODS Between August 1997 and November 2002, 164 patie...

Introduction operation. Firstly, in the supine position, an oblique lower abdominal incision was made and the left inThe sciatic artery is the axial artery of the lower limb, ternal iliac artery identified via an extraperitoneal approach. The artery was found to be aneurysmal forming the dominant blood supply to the leg during early embryonic development. It normally involutes with a diameter o...
