Iliac side branch technique for repair of bilateral iliac artery aneurysms associated with a congenital pelvic kidney

Abstract

Pelvic kidney is a congenital anomaly with few literature reports of concomitant aortoiliac aneurysmal disease. When aneurysm repair is indicated, either open or endovascular, it poses a technical challenge, since kidney preservation is paramount. This paper reports a successful endovascular repair of bilateral common iliac artery aneurysms in a patient with a right congenital pelvic kidney, using iliac side branch technique.
