Iliac branched devices (IBD) are an option for treating an isolated CIA aneurysm or an aorto-iliac aneurysm avoiding the need for deliberate occlusion of the IIA. Image A, a CT maximum intensity projection (MIP) demonstrating an isolated CIA aneurysm. Image B shows an in vitro deployed IBD. Image C, post-procedural angiogram of an isolated CIA aneurysm (same case as image A) successfully treated with an IBD

Post-EVAR CT image of a patient with a ruptured AAA. The aortic stent-graft (yellow arrow) can be seen within the aneurysm and there is extensive haemorrhage surrounding the aorta (white arrows)

An in vitro deployed fenestrated stent-graft (Image A). Image B – a magnified view demonstrating a pre-planned fenestration within the proximal component. Image C – a preoperative CT scan of patient with a short and angulated aortic neck that is unsuitable for standard EVAR. Image D - postoperative CT scan (same patient as Image C) showing a deployed fenestrated stent-graft with exclusion of the AAA and patent visceral arteries

Fig 8
Image A demonstrates an AAA where apposition of the stent-graft against the aortic wall across the visceral arteries would be unlikely. For this situation a branched aortic stent-graft (Image B) was successfully utilised (Image C)
