title: Novel Use of an Iliac Branch Device in the Treatment of an Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm.
abstract: Iliac branch devices (IBDs) are commonly used to treat iliac artery aneurysms and maintain patency of the internal iliac artery or its branches. This case report illustrates another possible application for an IBD. We present the case of a 77-year-old male who underwent repair of his infrarenal aneurysm with an IBD as a bifurcated aortic stent-graft in a small diameter aorta to maintain bilateral common iliac artery patency.
