Endovascular repair of residual iliac artery aneurysms following surgery for ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm

Eur J Vasc Endovasc Surg. 1996 Nov;12(4):482-6. doi: 10.1016/s1078-5884(96)80018-9.

Abstract

Emergency repair of ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm continues to have a high mortality. Such patients require expeditious operations to repair the ruptured segment rather than attempts to deal with all coexisting disease. The use of endovascular techniques obviates the need for open surgery to repair iliac aneurysms. We report two patients who, after successful repair of ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms, had three iliac artery aneurysms treated successfully by embolisation in one case and percutaneous insertion of a self expandable stent graft in two cases. The issues that arise from such an approach are discussed with a review of the literature.
