[Management of an iliac artery aneurysm with percutaneous placement of a Dacron-nitinol vascular endoprosthesis].
An iliac aneurysm developed after local lysis and balloon dilatation of the left iliofemoral arteries in a 66-year old male patient. This led to arterial embolism. A self-expanding Dacron-Nitinol vascular endoprosthesis was inserted without surgery. In this way, the aneurysm was isolated from the circulation.
