Introduction: The iliac bifurcated device (IBD) is an innovative endovascular device for aortoiliac aneurysm repair. The objective of this study is to provide further evidence on the efficacy and safety of the device.

Study Design: Case series study with retrospective analysis of prospectively collected nonrandomized data.

Methods: Between 2007 and 2010, all consecutive IBD placements were analyzed. The main outcomes included (1) technical failure; (2) morbidity and mortality; and (3) late outcomes. Prospective follow-up was performed by interval computed tomography scanning.

Results: In all, 27 consecutive patients had elective placement of 28 IBDs. Mean operating time was 251.1 ± 65.4 minutes, mean fluoroscopy time was 63.9 ± 27.2 minutes, and mean contrast volume used was 186.2 ± 106.7 mL. Periprocedural type I endoleak occurred in 2 patients. No aneurysm-related adverse events were recorded.

Conclusion: We demonstrate that IBDs can be used in patients with aortoiliac aneurysms and are associated with satisfactory medium-term results as expressed by high patency and low reintervention rates.

Background: Current guidelines recommend preserving at least one of the bilateral pelvic flows in patients with aortoiliac aneurysms. The sandwich parallel graft, using commercially available devices, provides a viable option for patients who fall outside the instructions for use of iliac branch devices. However, gutter endoleak remains a significant challenge.

Objective: This study aimed to determine the outcomes of survival, endoleaks, reinterventions, and perioperative mortality rate (PMR) in patients with AAIA receiving endovascular or open surgical repair with respect to sex, with two groups of patients being evaluated: male and female.

Methods: This was a prospective, single-centered, consecutive cohort study of patients with AAIA who underwent endovascular treatment or open surgical repair regarding gender. Two groups of patients were evaluated: the male group and the female group.

Intraluminal prosthetic graft thrombus (IPT) has been described in case of endovascular aortic pathology repair. This study aimed to assess hemodynamic indicators associated with various anatomical morphologies following endovascular aortic repair (EVAR), aiming to offer further references for the choice of clinical therapy. Six model models (normal, iliac compression, aortic compression, aortoiliac compression, iliac distortion, and long-leg stent) were established based on common anatomical morphologies following EVAR.

Objective: Single-center studies have suggested that solid organ transplant recipients are at increased risk for arterial aneurysms. Moreover, they describe a more aggressive natural history with increased rates of expansion and rupture. In this exploratory analysis, we aim to assess the frequency of arterial aneurysms in solid organ transplant recipients using a large-scale national database.

Spontaneous non-aneurysmal aortic rupture is rare and is usually attributed to penetrating aortic ulcers, infections, tumor infiltrations, or inflammatory and collagen diseases. Chronic rupture is infrequent but extremely rare in non-aneurysmal aortas, which makes diagnosis difficult because the absence of an aneurysm can mislead the physician to rule out rupture. Here, we describe the case of an 85-year-old male, who was undergoing oncological investigation for weight loss, inappetence, and back pain.
