Iliac artery aneurysms are rare but can rupture if large, posing a high risk. Early diagnosis and elective repair, especially for aneurysms over 3.5 cm, improve outcomes and reduce operative mortality.

Area of Science:

  • Vascular Surgery
  • Aneurysmal Disease
  • Medical Literature Review

Background:

  • Isolated iliac artery aneurysms are rare, accounting for <2% of all aneurysms.
  • Typically affect older men, with a risk of rupture when large.
  • Emergent repair carries higher mortality than elective procedures.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the literature on the natural history, diagnosis, and treatment of iliac artery aneurysms.
  • To provide a classification and outline surgical options.
  • To summarize outcomes and propose follow-up strategies.

Main Methods:

  • Comprehensive literature review of iliac artery aneurysms.
  • Analysis of natural history, diagnostic imaging, and treatment modalities.

  • Classification based on aneurysm anatomy.

    • Main Results:

    • Repair is recommended for good-risk patients with aneurysms >3.5 cm.
    • Preoperative imaging (CT or MRI) is advised for elective repair.
    • Both open and endovascular repair options are discussed with summarized results.

    Conclusions:

    • Early diagnosis and elective management are crucial for iliac artery aneurysms.
    • Surgical repair decisions should consider aneurysm size, patient risk, and anatomy.
    • Standardized follow-up is proposed post-intervention.
