Abstract:
Eight cases of isolated iliac artery aneurysms treated between January 1991 and December 1997 were reviewed. All patients were men and their ages ranged from 51 to 85 years (mean 69.6 years). The incidence rate relative to abdominal aortic aneurysm during the same period was 9.3%. The location of the iliac artery aneurysms was the common iliac artery in 6 patients and common and internal iliac artery in 2 patients. Rupture occurred in 3 patients (37.5%). Aneurysms ranged in size from 25mm to 55mm (mean 39.1mm) in 5 non-ruptured cases and from 50mm to 90mm (mean 71.7mm) in 3 ruptured cases (p<0.05). The operative procedures for common iliac artery aneurysms were aneurysmorrhaphy with prosthetic graft replacement in 7 patients and with common iliac-external iliac artery anastomosis in 1 patient. For internal iliac artery aneurysms, obliterative endoaneurysmorraphy was performed in 2 patients. Hartmann's operation with sigmoid colostomy was concomitantly performed in 1 case of rupture. Seven patients had good postoperative courses, however, one case of rupture that underwent Hartmann's operation died of multiple organ failure on the 13th postoperative day. Early diagnosis and elective surgery before rupture are recommended.
