Inferior Mesentery Artery and Internal Iliac Artery Preservation with Covered Self-Expanding Stents during Endovascular Aneurysm Repair

Vasc Specialist Int. 2016 Dec;32(4):190-194. doi: 10.5758/vsi.2016.32.4.190. Epub 2016 Dec 31.

Abstract

We report an endovascular aneurysm repair in a patient with isolated bilateral common iliac artery aneurysms, a prominent inferior mesentery artery (IMA), and bilateral proximal internal iliac artery (IIA) aneurysms using covered self-expanding stents to preserve the IMA and bilateral internal iliac arteries. A follow-up computed tomography angiography was obtained at 1 month. Pelvic circulation was well preserved without bowel ischemia. IMA and bilateral IIA preservation with covered self-expanding stents during endovascular aneurysm repair is a safe and effective method.
