Abstract
The association of aortic and common iliac artery aneurysms requires a special strategy to achieve distal seal during the endovascular exclusion of abdominal aortic aneurysms. Coil embolization of the internal iliac artery before the placement of a bifurcated endograft limb into the external iliac artery is a usual option. Such procedures are usually well tolerated but may result in buttock claudication, postprocedural sexual dysfunction, and colonic ischemia. We report on an alternative repair to preserve internal iliac artery patency using the Apollo iliac branched device.
