Key result
A custom-made bifurcated prosthetic graft technique involving an 18-mm tube graft and an 8-mm side arm graft was described for revascularization during open repair of aortoiliac aneurysms.
Why the study?
Revascularization of the internal iliac artery during open aortoiliac aneurysm repair can be challenging, especially with significant distance between internal and external iliac orifices due to common iliac aneurysmal dilatation.
Case Report
Describes a surgical technique using a custom-made bifurcated prosthetic graft to facilitate internal iliac artery revascularization during complex open aortoiliac aneurysm repair.
Revascularization of the internal iliac artery during open repair of aortoiliac aneurysms can be challenging, especially if there is a significant distance between the orifices of the internal and external iliac arteries owing to common iliac aneurysmal dilatation. We describe a technique involving insertion of an 18-mm tube graft between the proximal aortic neck and aneurysmal common iliac artery bifurcation. Revascularization of the contralateral external iliac artery is accomplished through an 8-mm side arm graft.

Papadoulas et al. (2021) conducted a case report in Aortoiliac aneurysm. Custom-made bifurcated prosthetic graft technique was evaluated. A custom-made bifurcated prosthetic graft technique involving an 18-mm tube graft and an 8-mm side arm graft was described for revascularization during open repair of aortoiliac aneurysms.
