Abstract:
This report describes the open surgical or endovascular treatment of two patients with bilateral internal iliac artery aneurysms (IIAA). To prevent pelvic ischemia, complete aneurysmal resection and pelvic revascularization with an interposition graft was performed in the open surgical case. Endovascular repair including coil embolization of IIAA and stent-graft placement in the common iliac artery was done successfully in the other case. The contralateral IIAA was left undisturbed and followed for 36 months with no change in size. Prevention of pelvic ischemia is important in the simultaneous treatment of bilateral IIAA.
