Exclusion of an isolated iliac artery aneurysm using a bifurcated endograft following failed covered stent exclusion.
Endovascular exclusion with covered stents is an alternative to surgical repair of iliac artery aneurysms (IAAs). We report a case where covered stent implantation failed to exclude an IAA, as demonstrated by persistent endoleak. The aneurysm was successfully excluded with a bifurcated aortoiliac endograft. This option should be considered for endovascular treatment of IAAs.
