Abstract
Objective: Isolated aneurysms of the iliac artery are relatively rare (7% of all intra-abdominal aneurysms), but also pose a
great therapeutic challenge in combination with aortic aneurysms. As a rule, iliac aneurysms with a size of > 3 cm are treated
independently of the abdominal aortic aneurysm, in the interventional setting. In case of contraindications due to anatomical
findings and patient-specific contraindications, such patients have to undergo a complex revascularization operation.
Patientsand Methodology:
For this study, between 2007 and 2017, 28 patients with complicated BAA with irrigation of
the iliac arteries or with isolated iliac aneurysms in contraindications to interventional therapy underwent surgery. All patients
underwent multi-detector row CT with three-dimensional (3D) reformation in 3 mm slices. In addition, peripheral blood flow was
determined in all patients by measuring ABI. Primary and secondary outcome of patients was determined after 30 days, after 3
months, and then every 6 months.
Results: The extension of the aneurysm of the a. iliaca required in all cases the implantation of a Y-prosthesis, in 22 cases
bifemoral, in 4 cases biiliac, in 2 cases with unilateral aneurysm of the a. iliac, unilateral anastomosis iliac and 2nd anastomosis
femoral. In 26 cases an internal iliac artery revascularization was performed, in 3 cases even both arteries. Iliacae internae. The
interponent to the revascularizing internal iliac artery was always implanted in the opposite leg of the Y-prosthesis. In 2 cases the
internal iliac artery was unilaterally ligated and the reciprocal internal iliac artery revascularized. In 4 cases, the inferior mestric
artery was reimplanted in the left prosthesis leg, in 3 cases, with revascularization of both arteries. Iliacae internae ligated. In 21
patients this was closed. To illustrate the surgical techniques
