The aim is to describe the technical feasibility, early outcomes, and graft stability of the Excluder iliac branch endoprosthesis (W.L. Gore & Associates) used as an infrarenal abdominal bifurcated endograft in cases unsuitable for standard endovascular aortic repair. The technique was used in 13 cases with abdominal and/or iliac aneurysms (n = 6), occlusive disease (n = 3), or complex aneurysms in association with a proximal fenestrated/branched endograft (n = 4). Technical success was 100%, and there were no adverse events, with 100% graft stability at 3 months. This case series demonstrates, in extremely selected cases, the feasibility and safety of Excluder iliac branch endoprosthesis used as an infrarenal aortic bifurcated device.
