title: [Stent prostheses in abdominal aortic aneurysm--pre-interventional exclusion of aneurysms of the internal iliac artery].
abstract: The technical success of endoluminal grafting in AAAs depends on the complete apposition of the fixation points of the stent graft with the proximal and distal aneurysm neck. Approximately 20% of patients presenting with AAAs have concomitant iliac artery aneurysms. To achieve a complete apposition at the distal landing zone without endoleak, intentional occlusion of the internal iliac artery is needed. To evaluate the inherent complications, our results of ELG were compared to those of the bibliography.
