Key result
Endovascular repair serves as first-line therapy for iliac artery aneurysms over open surgery.
Why the study?
Isolated iliac artery aneurysms are uncommon but carry significant risk of rupture and death, requiring careful diagnostic and management strategies.

Supports individualized repair choice for iliac aneurysms; leaves open need for randomized data on long-term outcomes.
Endovascular repair is the preferred first-line treatment for anatomically suitable isolated iliac artery aneurysms, with open surgery reserved for specific complex cases.
Bacharach et al. (2008) conducted a review in Isolated iliac artery aneurysms. Endovascular repair vs. Surgical repair was evaluated. Endovascular repair has evolved as the first-choice treatment for anatomically suitable iliac artery aneurysms, with surgical repair reserved for cases involving pelvic ischemia or extrinsic compression.
