title: [Endovascular treatment of isolated aneurysms of the hypogastric artery: technical considerations apropos of 2 cases].
abstract: Isolated aneurysm of the internal iliac artery is uncommon, with an incidence approaching 0.4%; its diagnosis is difficult; its natural course is progressive expansion and rupture. Two cases of hypogastric aneurysms, promptly treated with embolization, are reported. In selected patients the endovascular technique can represent a good alternative to the traditional surgical treatment that is associated with higher complication and mortality rate.
