Mid-term results of the endovascular exclusion of associated aorto-iliac aneurysms with large diameter (27 or 28 mm) flared limbs

Abstract

In the endovascular treatment of associated aortoiliac aneurysms, the choice of the technique of distal anchoring faces a lack of standardization and the results of flared distal limbs also called “bell-bottom” remain discussed. The objective was to report the short and mid-term results of the distal endovascular management of aortoiliac aneurisms with the implantation of large diameter flared limbs. The primary outcomes were the rate of reoperation for type 1b endoleak and the appearance of a limb event (composite criterion).
