Preservation of internal iliac arteries during endovascular aneurysm repair using “eye of the tiger” technique

Abstract

Parallel endografts were introduced as a way to expand endovascular repair of aneurysms involving branch vessels. However, endoleaks as a result of the gutters between the parallel endografts made this technique less favorable. The “eye of the tiger” technique was introduced to reduce the gutters between the parallel endografts proximally in the aorta. We report endovascular repair of infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm using eye of the tiger technique distally to preserve the internal iliac arteries.
