title: Percutaneous implantation of a unibody endograft to treat non-aneurysmal aortoiliac disease.
abstract: This case-series report describes the use of an Endologix AFX®stent graft for the treatment of non-aneurysmal aortic disease. Over a period of 26 months, this device was successfully implanted in six patients with aortic bifurcation < 15 mm to treat critical limb ischemia secondary to dissection, ulcer, or coarctation.
