Treating iliac aneurysm using the Nellix Endovascular Sac Sealing System

Area of Science:

• Vascular Surgery
• Endovascular Interventions
• Aortic Aneurysm Treatment

Background:

• Endovascular treatment for abdominal aortic aneurysms is established.
• Focus is shifting to treating associated or isolated iliac artery aneurysms.
• Iliac aneurysms >30 mm risk rupture and can compromise abdominal aortic aneurysm repair outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

• To present extended use of the Nellix endovascular aortic sealing system.
• To evaluate its efficacy in treating common iliac artery aneurysms.
• To discuss adjuvant techniques, re-interventions, and follow-up for these aneurysms.

Main Methods:

• Retrospective analysis of 84 patients treated for common iliac artery aneurysms.
• Utilized the Nellix system, with or without adjuvant endovascular techniques.
• Focused on endovascular sealing strategies for aneurysmal iliac pathologies.

Main Results:

• The Nellix system demonstrated support for endovascular therapy in iliac aneurysms.
• Results indicate the system's effectiveness in managing these vascular pathologies.
• The study covers various sealing techniques and re-intervention strategies.

Conclusions:

• Endovascular aortic sealing systems, like Nellix, are effective for common iliac artery aneurysms.
• This approach offers a valuable option for endovascular repair of iliac pathologies.
• Further discussion on techniques and long-term outcomes is provided.
