BACKGROUND We investigated the relationship between the mode and duration of iliac artery anastomosis and acute femoral neuropathy (AFN). METHODS A retrospective analysis was performed for 83 AFN cases from 6 transplantation centers in China. The incidence and nature of dysfunction of AFN were classified based upon the duration of iliac arterial anastomosis. No prisoners were used, and no org...

A 78-year-old male with a history of a ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm, repaired emergently with a tube Dacron graft, presented with bilateral common iliac aneurysms, 3.4 cm left and 2.9 cm right, and a 5-cm aortic bifurcation that extended to the iliac bifurcations. The patient underwent a diagnostic arteriogram (A) and selective embolization of the right internal iliac artery (IIA). He sub...

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 ...

To demonstrate the use of a commercially available branch stent graft system, designed to preserve the internal iliac artery (IIA) in common iliac artery (CIA) aneurysms (CIAA) in two patients, who had undergone previous abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) surgery.

BACKGROUND To study the distribution pattern of lymph node metastases of stage IA to IIA cervical cancer and to clarify the individualized clinical target volume delineation of regional lymph nodes (CTVn). METHODS A total of 665 cases with International Federation Gynecology and Obstetrics stage IA to IIA cervical cancer who underwent radical hysterectomy and pelvic lymphadenectomy were retro...

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....

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...
