Surgical Management of a Large Primary External Iliac Vein Aneurysm

Abstract

Iliac vein aneurysms are rare, and the true incidence is unknown. Their etiology is either primary or secondary, and secondary aneurysms are often related to a traumatic arteriovenous fistula. They appear to have a male and left-sided predominance. Due to their rarity, the most appropriate surgical management has yet to be elucidated. Here, we highlight a case of a large primary external iliac vein aneurysm successfully repaired with interposition graft.
