Abstract:
The transluminally placed endovascular graft (TPEG) is a novel method for the treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA). Aortobiiliacal application requires three anchor sites and can often not be performed in cases of aneurysm, occlusion, or elongation of the iliac arteries. Here the aorto-uniiliacal stent implantation combined with crossover bypass provides an alternative procedure, and thus broadens the therapeutic endovascular spectrum.
