Intra-Operative Occlusion of the Contralateral Common Iliac Artery by the Gore Excluder Iliac Branch System.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

During stent grafting, managing the internal iliac artery (IIA) becomes a significant issue when an abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is complicated by bilateral common iliac artery (CIA) aneurysms. The iliac branch system (IBS) has a defined length; therefore, the CIA should be sufficiently long. However, situations arise where the IBS must be used even in patients with a short CIA. A case of contralateral CIA occlusion due to deviation of the proximal iliac branched component of the IBS is reported.

Report

A 73 year old man underwent stent grafting with inferior mesenteric artery coil embolisation and IBS for a 70 mm AAA and >30 mm bilateral CIA aneurysm. As standard procedure, the right iliac branched component and the internal iliac component were used. After
