Modified adaption of iliac branch endografts in rare congenital anomaly of proximal origin of bilateral internal iliac arteries

Abstract

We report a case of 55 mm abdominal aortic aneurysm coinciding with a rare congenital anomaly of proximal origin of bilateral internal iliac arteries (IIAs). Because renal to iliac bifurcation lengths were bilaterally short (129 mm and 125 mm), a trunk-ipsilateral leg and an iliac leg were deployed before iliac branch component insertion into the iliac leg. With help of a pull-through wire, internal iliac component was delivered without migration of the main body. The left IIA was embolized, but the right IIA was successfully preserved with commercially available iliac branch endoprosthesis only from femoral approaches, and the patient fully recovered without any complication.
