Endovascular aneurysm repairs lacking suitable common iliac artery landing zones occasionally require graft limb extension into the external iliac artery, covering the internal iliac artery origin. The purpose of this study was to assess incidence of type II endoleak following simple coverage of internal iliac artery without embolization during endovascular aneurysm repair. Three hundred eighty-nine endovascular aneurysm repairs performed by a single surgeon (2004-2015) were reviewed. Twenty-seven patients underwent simple internal iliac artery coverage. Type II endoleak was assessed from operative reports and follow-up computed tomography imaging. No patient suffered type II endoleak from a covered internal iliac artery in post-operative computed tomography scans. Follow-up ranged from 0.5 to 9 years. No severe pelvic ischemic complications were observed. In conclusion, for selected cases internal iliac artery coverage without embolization is a safe alternative to embolization in endovascular aneurysm repairs, where the graft must be extended into the external iliac artery.

We report a case of a 75-year-old man diagnosed with Parkes-Weber syndrome with an infected common femoral artery aneurysm secondary to chronic venous ulcers and groin infection. Given the symptomatic and rapid enlargement of the aneurysm, emergency aneurysmectomy and crossover femoro-femoral bypass were performed with an omental flap routed intraluminally through the aneurysm of the ipsilateral external iliac artery. The transarterial route enabled the short-cutting of the omental flap and the potential prevention of infection in the adjacent external iliac artery.

Multiple Aneurysmal Arterial Disease (MAD) is an extremely rare arterial vascular condition and is produced by an abnormal alteration of smooth muscle cells and neutrophils, producing a multiple-aneurysmal degeneration. We present the case of a 36-year-old patient with a MAD in the cerebral territory and extremities with no surgical indication; however, with an aneurysm of the right inferior renal segmental artery, inferior mesenteric artery, left common iliac artery, and right internal iliac artery with surgical indication. An open approach with single-stage surgical repair, including graft interposition, bypass, exclusion, and vascular reimplantation, was performed.

Lateral lymph node dissection (LLND) is getting global attention as an a surgical option to reduce local recurrence in locally advanced rectal cancer. As the transanal total mesorectal excision (TaTME) is gaining popularity worldwide, a novel LLND approach was established adopting a two-team approach that combines the transabdominal and transanal approaches using the TaTME technique. This narrative review describes the advantages, anatomical landmarks, surgical techniques, and pitfalls of transanal LLND (TaLLND).

Background: Cesarean hysterectomy in the placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) remains challenging due to difficulty in controlling perioperative bleeding.
Purpose: To compare the effectiveness and safety of perioperative balloon occlusion with versus without pelvic artery embolization in PAS women who underwent a cesarean hysterectomy.
Material And Methods: A total of 26 pathological confirmed cases of PAS were retrospectively reviewed and categorized into two groups: perioperative balloon occlusion at either the anterior division of the internal iliac artery or uterine artery followed by gelfoam embolization (n = 12, study group) and perioperative balloon occlusion alone (n = 14, control group).

The increasing age of patients with end-stage renal disease raises the issue of hostile arterial access for transplantation, with technical difficulties associated with clamping and suturing the iliac artery. Some of these patients - who theoretically represent those who would benefit the most from transplantation in terms of mortality - are contraindicated because of anatomical and medical issues. In this context, a specific endovascular device called EndoPreKiT (Endovascular Preparation for Kidney Transplantation) has been designed, enabling arterial access for transplantation via a mini-invasive procedure.
