Abstract

MANUEL, Viviana et al. Endovascular treatment of late hypogastric aneurysm after aortic aneurysm surgery. Angiol Cir Vasc [online]. 2015, vol.11, n.1, pp.40-44. ISSN 1646-706X.

The internal iliac artery aneurysm is a rare clinical entity, which constitutes a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge, manifested by a high percentage of mortality cases when rupture occurs. The authors present a 75 year-old male previously submitted to infra-renal aorto-iliac aneurysm partial resection and interposition of a bifurcated aorto-bifemoral graft. At 9 years follow-up a 4,5 cm asymptomatic hypogastric aneurysm was diagnosed. Hypogastric embolization complemented with the implantation of an iliac stent-graft was the treatment of choice, proving to be a safe and effective treatment modality.

Keywords : Aneurysm; Hypogastric artery; Endovascular.
