Key result
Laparoscopic resection of isolated iliac artery aneurysm achieves graft patency at 6 months.
Why the study?
Current treatment options for isolated iliac artery aneurysm include endovascular treatment and open surgery, both carrying significant risks, motivating exploration of laparoscopic surgery as a new approach.
Case Report (n=1)
Laparoscopic resection with synthetic graft implantation provides a potential new approach for treating isolated iliac artery aneurysms.
Laparoscopic IIAA repair appears feasible in one case; leaves open need for comparative trials versus endovascular or open approaches.
The current treatment options for isolated iliac artery aneurysm (IIAA) are mainly endovascular treatment (ET) and open surgery. ET carries risks such as endoleaks and stent displacement, while open elective surgical repair of IIAAs carries significant risk of mortality. Therefore, this report presents a case of laparoscopic surgery for IIAA, providing a new approach for treating IIAA. Under laparoscopic guidance, the IIAA was resected, and an artificial graft was implanted to complete the surgery. At 6 months follow-up, the patient remained well, and the artificial graft was patent.

Huang et al. (2025) conducted a case report in Isolated iliac artery aneurysm (IIAA) (n=1). Laparoscopic resection with synthetic graft implantation was evaluated on Patient well-being and graft patency. Laparoscopic resection of an isolated iliac artery aneurysm with synthetic graft implantation resulted in a patent graft and a well patient at 6 months follow-up.
