Abstract

We report the case of a patient previously treated with an iliac branch endograft for isolated iliac artery aneurysm who developed, more than 2 years later, a type B aortic dissection resulting in the acute expansion of the previously excluded iliac aneurysm. Successful endovascular salvage is described.
