title: Internal iliac artery aneurysm embolization with fibrin sealant: a simple and effective solution.
abstract: Endovascular treatment of internal iliac artery (IIA) aneurysms is an attractive alternative to surgical management, because the former is associated with less morbidity and mortality. Embolization with coils or exclusion of the IIA orifice with stent-grafts are the preferred techniques. Although uncommon, technical failures occur with reported aneurysm rupture. Two patients with IIA aneurysms are reported here, where we describe successful occlusion of their IIA aneurysms with the use of fibrin sealant, after initial failure of coil embolization.
