Modified “Stent-Graft Sandwich” Technique for Treatment of Isolated Common Iliac Artery Aneurysm in Patient With Marfan Syndrome (original) (raw)

Annals of Vascular Surgery, 2012

Abstract

Isolated iliac artery aneurysms are rare in the general population (0.03%) and represent 2% of all abdominal aneurysms, and the association with Marfan syndrome is even rarer. We report a Marfan syndrome case with an isolated common iliac artery aneurysm treated by using a modified "stent-graft sandwich" technique, with preservation of the internal iliac artery perfusion. The modified "stent-graft sandwich" technique involves building an appropriate proximal neck just in the common iliac artery for fittingly housing two new stent-grafts inside, both deployed simultaneously and each one going to both distal iliac arteries (internal and external).
