Abstract

Introduction


Common iliac artery aneurysms are often diagnosed during routine screening for infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysms. Preserving the internal iliac artery helps avoid colonic ischemia and buttocks claudication. Hybrid surgery combining internal iliac artery transposition and endovascular treatment is a method with good early and long-term results.


Methods


We report of a case of bilateral common iliac artery aneurysm treated by hybrid surgery and endovascular intervention at Dong Nai General Hospital


Results


A 69 year-old male, diagnosed with bilateral common iliac artery aneurysm and left internal iliac artery occlusion. Surgical transposition was performed to repimplant the right internal iliac artery into the right external iliac artery, folowed by endovascular treatment, the right branch of the graft was placed at the external iliac artery, the left branch of the graft was placed at the common iliac artery. Postoperative condition was stable, no early complications recorded


Conclusion


Hybrid surgery to treat iliac aortic aneurysms and common iliac artery aneurysms has quite good mid- and long-term results. The initial successful implementation of this technique at Dong Nai General Hospital contributes to team development, reduces the load on central hospitals and brings practical benefits to patients.
