Percutaneous access with closure devices and iliac extension limbs allows safe repair of common iliac artery aneurysm repair as an outpatient procedure.
The true benefits of endovascular therapy will be realized when treatment for common vascular conditions can be performed effectively and safely, with minimal morbidity and in a cost-effective manner. We describe three cases of common iliac artery aneurysm repair performed as an outpatient procedure without problems. This was done in a cost-effective manner and with a high degree of patient satisfaction.
