Endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm repair in patients with common iliac artery aneurysms – Initial experience with the Zenith bifurcated iliac side branch device

Abstract

This device provides an alternative for the management of patients with aorto-iliac aneurysms that is safe and less complex than, previously described, hybrid procedures that preserve internal iliac flow.

Open vs. endovascular repair of isolated iliac artery aneurysms: A 12-year experience

“…This new device appears to prevent the temporary, but frustrating buttock claudication that may occur with coil embolization of this vessel. 15,16 Further studies are necessary to define the role of side branch devices in anticipation of this problem.…”

Endovascular treatment of iliac aneurysm: Concurrent comparison of side branch endograft versus hypogastric exclusion

“…While a few recent series have demonstrated the feasibility of this approach in preserving pelvic flow, ensuring distal sealing during EVAR, they failed to contrast this new technique to other contemporary endovascular procedures for management of iliac aneurysms. [5][6][7][8][9] The purpose of this study was to compare early and 1-year outcome of the IBD approach with that of hypogastric embolization followed by endograft extension across the iliac bifurcation, in a consecutive series of patients treated for significant (Ͻ24 mm) unilateral or bilateral iliac aneurysms associated or not with aortic aneurysm. In particular, rates of pelvic ischemia, failure of aneurysm exclusion, and need for reintervention were analyzed.…”

Outcome after concomitant unilateral embolization of the internal iliac artery and contralateral external-to-internal iliac artery bypass grafting during endovascular aneurysm repair

“…[26][27][28][29][30][31][32] The technical success rate has been demonstrated to be between 85% and 100%, showing relatively high feasibility of the devices, while the indication for usage of IBDs is limited by various morphologic factors of the targeted iliac arteries. Aneurysmal involvement or stenosis at the orifice of IIA or severe tortuosity or calcification of iliac arteries hampers successful implantation of the devices.…”
