Abstract:
Iliac artery aneurysms (IAA) are a rare entity. The etiology behind IAA is unclear; however, it is typically degenerative or atherosclerotic in origin. In patients presenting with sudden rupture requiring emergent surgery, mortality rates are high, signifying the need for prompt diagnosis and treatment. We report a case of an incidentally found unruptured isolated left common iliac artery aneurysm in an 80-year-old man. Management with aortofemoral angioplasty was successfully performed for this patient.
