Iliac artery aneurysms arising in patients having had resections of abdominal aneurysms.
We report the angiographic, computed tomographic, and ultrasonographic findings in two patients with iliac artery aneurysms detected several years after undergoing vascular graft surgery to the aorta. These lesions are often silent until serious complications occur, and they should be treated even when asymptomatic. Radiologists should be familiar with this complication so that it may be more readily diagnosed.
