Abstract:Objectives: When abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) and common iliac artery (CIA) aneurysms undergo endovascular repair, endograft limb extension into the external iliac artery (EIA) is often necessary.

The purpose of this study is to review long term outcomes with this approach.Methods: Between April 1997 and June 20… Show more
