Transfemoral endovascular repair of iliac artery aneurysms

摘要: Abstract Purpose : This report evaluates the application of transfemoral endovascular repair iliac artery aneurysms. Patients and methods Over a 20-month period, 11 patients with serious comorbid illnesses total 14 aneurysms were treated grafts composed polytetra-fluoroethylene conduits combined balloon expandable stents (Palmaz). Nine right common, 3 left 2 internal treated. The men between 58 89 years age (mean 72). Eight had isolated multiple Results Endovascular successfully placed in all patients. No procedural deaths occurred. Follow-up ranged from to 21 months 11). acute or late graft thromboses Conclusions Transluminally stented can be used exclude circulation while maintaining lower-extremity arterial perfusion. However, longer follow-up more is necessary confirm durability this technique.
