Abstract

The presence of a concomitant aortoiliac occlusive disease and abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is rare and limits the implant of a bifurcated endograft.Background: The objective of the study was to evaluate early and midterm results of an endovascular or a hybrid approach in patients undergoing iliac revascularization and AAA exclusion.Methods: We reviewed our clinical series of patients from January 2016 to February 2018. Inclusion criterion was an iliac occlusion with concomitant aortic aneurysm.Results: We treated 8 male patients: 8 common iliac arteries (CIAs) and 5 external iliac arteries (ElAs). We implanted 8 bifurcated devices and 13 covered stents, 8 in CIA and 5 in EIA. In 5 cases, when the EIA was involved, we also performed a common femoral artery endarterectomy with a patch. During a mean follow-up of 10 months, the primary patency of the recanalized iliac arteries was 100%, no endoleaks, sac growth, or rupture were also recorded.Conclusions: Endovascular or hybrid treatment of the iliac occlusion combined with infrarenal aortic aneurysm is feasible with favorable early and midterm results.
