Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to compare the perioperative complications of iliac branched endoprosthesis versus the bell-bottom technique in patients with common iliac artery aneurysm or ectasia.
- A systematic search of relevant literature identified six cohort studies with 2,899 patients, finding no significant differences in most complications, including perioperative mortality and mesenteric ischemia.
- However, the use of branched endoprostheses was linked to a higher occurrence of type 3 endoleaks compared to the bell-bottom technique.
