Technical feasibility and device stability of the Gore Excluder iliac branch endoprosthesis as abdominal aortic bifurcated device

The aim is to describe technical feasibility, early outcomes and graft-stability of the Excluder Iliac Branch Endoprosthesis (IBE, Gore&Associates, Flagstaff, USA) used as infrarenal abdominal bifurcated endograft, in cases unsuitable for standard endovascular aortic repair. The technique was adopted in 13 cases with abdominal and/or iliac aneurysms (n=6), occlusive disease (n=3), and complex aneurysms in association with a proximal fenestrated/branched endograft (n=4). Technical success was 100% and there were no adverse events, with a 100% graft stability at 3 months. This case series demonstrates, in extremely selected cases, the feasibility and safety of IBE used as infrarenal aortic bifurcated device.
