Purpose: Endovascular aneurysm repair is becoming increasingly popular. This technical note describes the usefulness of the upside-down technique of Gore Excluder or Cook Zenith legs.
Methods: Four patients with iliac or abdominal aortic aneurysms were treated. Three patients with isolated iliac artery aneurysms and one patient with an abdominal aortic aneurysm, in which the neck diameters were unfit for commercially available stent-grafts, were treated using an Excluder or a Zenith leg in an upside-down technique.
Results: The aneurysms were completely excluded and no endoleak occurred. There were no serious adverse events.
Conclusions: The upside-down technique using an Excluder leg or a Zenith leg is both feasible and effective.

Isolated iliac aneurysms are rare, and their management becomes complex when accompanied by ectopic pelvic kidneys due to altered vascular anatomy. We report a 58-year-old male with an incidentally discovered 53.5 mm left common iliac artery (CIA) aneurysm and an ectopic pelvic kidney.

Objective: This study aimed to compare the completion of gate cannulation task performed by participants of varying experience using fluoroscopy, the Intraoperative Positioning System (IOPS)-a United States Food and Drug Administration-cleared endovascular navigation system that has been developed to reduce dependence on fluoroscopy-or an investigational augmented reality electromagnetic navigation technology based on IOPS.
Methods: The task consisted in the cannulation of the gate of a GORE Excluder AAA endoprosthesis bifurcated aortic stent graft (W.L.

Endovascular aneurysm repair for abdominal aortic aneurysms with a severely angulated proximal neck remains challenging because of the higher rates of type 1a endoleaks and secondary interventions. In this study, we reviewed six consecutive patients with a severely angulated proximal neck (>60°) treated with endovascular aneurysm repair at a single center. They were treated with a Gore Excluder Conformable endograft using a pre-constrain technique to prevent type 1a endoleaks.
