title: Aortic type B dissection with acute expansion of iliac artery aneurysm in previous endovascular repair with iliac branched graft.
abstract: We report the case of a patient previously treated with an iliac branch endograft for isolated iliac artery aneurysm who developed, more than 2 years later, a type B aortic dissection resulting in the acute expansion of the previously excluded iliac aneurysm. Successful endovascular salvage is described.
