Key result
Cardiatis Multilayer stent plus EVAR shows successful 12-month repair of combined AAA and iliac aneurysms.
Why the study?
Combined abdominal aortic aneurysm and iliac artery aneurysm management with inadequate distal landing zone presents clinical challenges addressed by innovative stent systems like the Cardiatis Multilayer stent.
Case Report (n=1)
The Cardiatis Multilayer stent may be a viable supplement to EVAR for treating combined AAA and IAA with inadequate distal landing zones.

May offer adjunct option for complex aortoiliac aneurysms with poor landing zones; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation.
Combined abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) and iliac artery aneurysm (IAA) is a common condition. The recently approved Cardiatis Multilayer stent (Cardiatis, Isnes, Belgium) is an innovative stent system for peripheral aneurysm management that has been applied in several clinical cases. After deployment, the unique stent design reduces mean velocity and vorticity within the aneurysm sac, causing thrombus formation and thus exclusion of the aneurysm while the vessels branching from the aneurysm remain patent. We describe a case of combined AAA and IAA with successful endovascular aneurysm repair of the AAA and treatment of the internal iliac artery with the Cardiatis Multilayer stent at 12 months of follow-up.

Pieper et al. (2012) conducted a case report in Combined abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) and iliac artery aneurysm (IAA) (n=1). Cardiatis Multilayer stent as a supplement to EVAR was evaluated on Successful endovascular aneurysm repair of the AAA and treatment of the internal iliac artery. Treatment of combined abdominal aortic and iliac artery aneurysms using the Cardiatis Multilayer stent as a supplement to EVAR was successful at 12 months of follow-up.
