Endovascular repair of an aortoiliac aneurysm with bilateral bifurcated branched iliac stent-grafts

Abstract

Extension of abdominal aortic aneurysms to involve one or both common iliac arteries occurs in 20-30% of patients. In treating aneurysmal diseases involving the common iliac arteries, preservation of blood flow to the pelvic circulation is desirable. The development of branched stent-grafts has made this possible with the endovascular approach. We herein describe our technique of endovascular repair of an aortoiliac aneurysm with bilateral bifurcated branched iliac stent-grafts. © 2008 The Authors Journal compilation © 2008 College of Surgeons of Hong Kong.
