Use of Iliac Branch Device for Endovascular Treatment for Abdominal Aorta Aneurysm with Small Diameter Neck

Umberto G Rossi et al. Aorta (Stamford). .

Abstract

We present the case of a 78-year-old woman with a 4.5-cm symptomatic abdominal aortic aneurysm with a small diameter (13-mm diameter) infrarenal aortic neck who underwent endovascular treatment using an iliac branch device as a bifurcated aortic stent-graft.

Keywords: Abdominal aorta aneurysm; Elderly patients; Endovascular treatment; Iliac branch device.
