title: [Post EVAR rupture of an iliac artery aneurysm complicated with an iliac arteriovenous fistula. Clinical report].
abstract: Since the original description by Parodi in 1991, the aim of endovascular treatment of aortic and iliac aneurysms has been the prevention of rupture, with fewer risks than the conventional management. Much has been discussed about its technical feasibility, durability, and follow-up, however little emphasis has been given to the treatment of its emergent complications, namely the aneurysm rupture after endovascular treatment. The authors report the clinical case of a patient that underwent endovascular treatment of a left common iliac artery aneurysm four years before, which presented in the emergency department with symptoms suggestive of aneurysm rupture, together with high output iliac arteriovenous fistula. The patient underwent conventional open surgical procedure, which consisted in partial resection of the aneurysm and repair of the iliac arteriovenous fistula.
