Abstract

A 76-year-old man was admitted with bilateral common iliac artery aneurysms found incidentally on computed tomography. Transfemoral digital subtraction arteriography demonstrated atherosclerotic plaques in the aorta with bilateral common iliac artery aneurysms and a coeliac axis aneurysm. The coeliac artery aneurysm was resected and an aortobifemoral bypass performed with reimplantation of the inferior mesenteric artery into the prosthesis. The patient was well when discharged 2 weeks after operation. The incidence, natural history and management of coeliac axis and iliac artery aneurysms are reviewed.
