This is to report the technique of reversed iliac leg stent-graft in endovascular treatment for isolated internal iliac artery (IIA) aneurysm, which had significant size discrepancy between the common iliac artery (CIA) and external iliac artery (EIA) in 3 patients from different hospitals. Three patients were a 85- and two 82-year-old men. Treated were right IIA aneurysms, sized 6.5x6.2 cm, 5.0x4.0 cm, and 4.1 cm in longest diameter, respectively. The diameters of the right CIA and right EIA measured 21 mm/11 mm, 15 mm/11 mm, and 20 mm/10 mm, respectively. In all cases, reversed iliac leg stent-grafts were prepared on-site; unsheathed and mounted upside-down manually, and deployed in each right CIA. Post-stent-graft angiograms showed complete exclusion of the aneurysms, except for minimal type 1 endoleak in one case. This technique is a useful treatment option in patients with isolated IIA aneurysm.

Diarrhea is a common complication of antibiotics usage. The diarrhea ascribed to antibiotics usually consist of loose or watery stools, sometimes containing mucus but rarely grossly evident blood. Almost every antibiotics has been implicated, although cases related to the use of vancomycin or aminoglycosides are rare. Although the pathogenesis of antibiotics-associated diarrhea is not confirmed, recent studies have shown that a toxin of clostridium difficile is implicated as a cause of it. Diagnosis is made by detecting toxin in the stool or stool culture for C.difficile. Treatment is either directed at binding the toxin with anion exchange resins such as cholestyramine in mild case, or at eradicating the C.difficile organism with vancomycin, metronidazole or bacitracin for more severe cases.
