Endovascular and Hybrid Management of Patients Affected by Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm and Occlusion of the Iliac Arteries

Abstract

The objective of the study was to evaluate early and midterm results of an endovascular or a hybrid approach in patients undergoing iliac revascularization and AAA exclusion. We reviewed our clinical series of patients from January 2016 to February 2018. Inclusion criterion was an iliac occlusion with concomitant aortic aneurysm. We treated 8 male patients: 8 common iliac arteries (CIAs) and 5 external iliac arteries (EIAs). We implanted 8 bifurcated devices and 13 covered stents, 8 in CIA and 5 in EIA. In 5 cases, when the EIA was involved, we also performed a common femoral artery endarterectomy with a patch. During a mean follow-up of 10months, the primary patency of the recanalized iliac arteries was 100%, no endoleaks, sac growth, or rupture were also recorded. Endovascular or hybrid treatment of the iliac occlusion combined with infrarenal aortic aneurysm is feasible with favorable early and midterm results.
