Abstract
The feasibility of the application of a balloon expandable covered stent as a proximal extension to an IBD for isolated CIAA was demonstrated. It is not necessary to insert an aortic bifurcation endograft, thus reducing procedure time, radiation exposure, contrast use, and cost. A patent inferior mesenteric artery and lumbar arteries can be spared and procedures that require crossing over the aortic bifurcation remain possible. Comorbidity, prior interventions, and disease extension can make this endovascular approach preferred over open repair. Isolated CIAA can be efficiently treated combining the BeGraft balloon expandable covered stent and IBD, which allows proximal sealing in the CIA.
