Abstract:
Iliac branch endoprosthesis is an effective method for preserving the internal iliac artery blood flow during endovascular aortic repair. We describe the case of a right common iliac artery aneurysm complicated by a left internal iliac artery occlusion in a 74-year-old man. To preserve perfusion of the right internal iliac artery in a patient with a short common iliac artery, an iliac branch endoprosthesis device was connected to the AFX and deployed 15 mm above the aortic bifurcation. The absence of an endoleak on postoperative computed tomography indicated technical success and potential effectiveness of the procedure.
