Endovascular treatment of aortoiliac aneurysm: first report of a case using a Brazilian device with an iliac branch

Abstract

Aortoiliac aneurysms are particularly challenging to treat using a totally endovascular approach, because embolization of the internal iliac arteries can cause major complications. Several conventional and endovascular surgical techniques have been described that offer preservation of at least one internal iliac branch and options for completely endovascular treatment include branched stentgrafts and the parallel grafts technique. Here, the authors report the first case of endovascular treatment with preservation of an internal iliac branch using a Brazilian iliac branch device.
