Abstract
The GORE EXCLUDER Iliac Branch Endoprosthesis (IBE; W. L. Gore and Associates, Flagstaff, AZ, USA) applicability is limited by the aorto-iliac length (AOL). The shortage may be a major exclusion criterion. An 85-year-old male presented with an abdominal aortic and left common iliac arterial aneurysm. The left-side AOL was 146-mm, which was deemed 19-mm too short for IBE usage. To increase implantation length, the contra-lateral connection stent graft was deployed along the implantation line, wound half-circumferentially around the ipsilateral limb. Any form of endoleak, limb occlusion, and device migration has not been observed for twelve months.
