Emergent stent-graft endovascular aneurysm repair in a 69-year-old male patient with ruptured bilateral iliac artery aneurysms is reported. Endoleak prevention and pelvic circulation preservation are the critical issues in endovascular repair for iliac artery aneurysms, especially when covering bilateral internal iliac arteries. Perioperative hemodynamic stability is crucial for preventing isch...

Patients undergoing endovascular repair (EVAR) of aortoiliac or iliac artery aneurysm may require sacrifice of one or both internal iliac arteries (IIAs). Until Food and Drug Administration-approved commercial grafts became available, endovascular IIA preservation was accomplished using the "sandwich" technique, but limited information is available regarding the results of this method. After ob...

A challenging iliac anatomy remains a major obstacle to successful endovascular aortic aneurysm repair. The authors experienced an abdominal aortic aneurysm with bilateral common iliac artery aneurysms in a patient that had undergone femoro-femoral bypass due to left external iliac artery (EIA) occlusion. To treat this patient in a totally endovascular manner, a bifurcated stent graft was used....

PURPOSE To report about the endovascular treatment of isolated iliac artery aneurysms (IIAA) with stentgraft placement and transluminal or CT-guided embolization of the internal iliac artery or the combination of these methods. METHODS AND MATERIALS Over a period of 5.6 years, 36 interventions were performed in 20 patients with 23 IIAAs. In a retrospective analysis patient records were review...

We report an endovascular aneurysm repair in a patient with isolated bilateral common iliac artery aneurysms, a prominent inferior mesentery artery (IMA), and bilateral proximal internal iliac artery (IIA) aneurysms using covered self-expanding stents to preserve the IMA and bilateral internal iliac arteries. A follow-up computed tomography angiography was obtained at 1 month. Pelvic circulatio...

BACKGROUND Iliac artery aneurysms have traditionally been treated by direct surgical reconstruction. Endovascular stent grafts have been developed to provide an effective but less invasive treatment option for patients with peripheral arterial aneurysms. METHODS AND RESULTS In 48 patients, a total of 53 endoprostheses (mean length 7. 3 cm, mean diameter 8.1 mm) were implanted into the iliac a...

BACKGROUND Endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) has been a revolutionary development in the treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs). Meanwhile, unfavorable anatomy of the aneurysm has always been a challenge to vascular surgeons, and the application of EVAR in emergent and elderly patients are still in dispute. CASE PRESENTATION A 79-year-old woman presented as an emergency of abdominal...

Unlike abdominal and combined aortoiliac artery aneurysms, isolated iliac artery aneurysms (IIAAs) are uncommon. An isolated iliac artery aneurysm is defined as a twofold increase in the diameter of the iliac artery without a coexisting aneurysm at another location. IIAA was encountered infrequently in the past, comprising 0.9% to 4.7% of all intraabdominal aneurysms according to a review of pr...

Extrapulmonary involvement of tuberculosis occurs in 10-40% of reported cases. However, tuberculous mycotic aneurysm is very rare. We report herein tuberculous mycotic aneurysm of left common iliac artery secondary from ureteric tuberculosis in a 63-year-old man who presented with left flank pain for 1 month, and review the literature of all reported cases of tuberculous aneurysm of iliac artery.

Rupture is a rare but disastrous complication of an arterial aneurysm. Intraabdominal abscess in association with iliac artery aneurysm is uncommon but can predispose to aneurysm rupture. We report the Computed Tomography (CT) findings of an internal iliac artery pseudoaneurysm formed by a pelvic abscess attributed to the perforation of the patient’s Hartmann’s pouch. Rupture of the pseudoaneur...
