Abstract

Introduction: The aim of this report was to analyse early and mid-term outcomes of endovascular treatment (endovascular aneurysm repair, EVAR) for aorto-iliac aneurysms with the use of an iliac branch device (IBD).

Report: A total of 85 EVAR procedures with IBD were electively carried out in 81 patients between September 2007 and August 2012. Technical success was obtained in 98.7% of the cases. The mean follow-up duration was 20.4 months (SD ± 15.4). There was one IBD occlusion (1.2%). Estimated 48 months' survival, freedom from re-intervention and branch occlusion were 76.7%, 88.3% and 98%, respectively.

Conclusions: EVAR for aorto-iliac aneurysms using IBD is an effective procedure with low complication and re-intervention rates at mid-term follow-up.
