Cross-over Deployment of a Tapered Stent Graft to Repair a Ruptured Isolated Internal Iliac Aneurysm

Abstract

We report the case of a 72-year-old man who presented with a left ruptured internal iliac aneurysm (IIA). A percutaneous cross-over approach was used to coil-embolize the 3 distal branches of the IIA. A tapered endograft limb was then delivered via the right common femoral artery using a femorofemoral through-and-through cross-over approach. The widest part of the graft was deployed in the common iliac artery and the smallest in the external iliac artery. This percutaneous endovascular technique opens up new perspectives in emergency care for ruptured internal iliac artery aneurysms.
