Abstract:
Pseudoaneurysm of the internal iliac artery is a rare
occurrence. Our patient presented with pain over the lower
abdomen which also radiated to the back. An Angiogram of
the aorta and the iliac arteries showed a pseudoaneurysm of
the right internal iliac artery which measured about 8 x 8 cm with a proximal branch of the internal iliac artery distended. Initial efforts of trying to embolize the pseudoaneurysm revealed that there was a connection between the pseudoaneurysm and the interanal iliac vein where foam was getting dislodged into the venous system.
Subsequently, we decided to use a vascular plug which has
just been recently being introduced. Post procedure there
was no more flow into the right internal iliac artery
pseudoaneurysm.
