Abstract

Isolated iliac artery aneurysms are rare and commonly associated with aortic aneurysms. Hypogastric artery aneurysms (HAAs) are exceptionally rare. The general approach to HAAs has been exclusion and bypass, although when this is complicated by mycotic disease, endovascular techniques can provide unique approaches to management. We present the case of a patient with a mycotic HAA treated with endovascular coil and exclusion followed by aortic to external iliac artery bypass with cadaveric conduit.
