endovascular repair of a ruptured mycotic aneurysm of the Common Iliac Artery
CardioVascular and Interventional Radiology, 2007Co-Authors: Reza Mofidi, Raj Bhat, J Nagy, Gareth Griffiths, Sam ChakravertyAbstract:This report describes the case of a ruptured mycotic aneurysm of the left Common Iliac Artery, successfully treated with endovascular stent-grafting. A 64-year-old woman underwent diagnostic coronary angiography complicated by an infected hematoma of the left groin. Seven days later, she developed methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus septicemia and CT scan evidence of perivascular inflammation around the left Common Iliac Artery. This was followed by rupture of a mycotic aneurysm of the left Common Iliac Artery. The lesion was successfully treated with a stent-graft and prolonged antibiotic therapy, and the patient remains free of infection 10 months later. Accumulating evidence suggests that endovascular repair can be used safely for the repair of ruptured infected aneurysms.

Isolated Spontaneous Dissection of the Common Iliac Artery: Percutaneous Stent Placement in Two Patients
CardioVascular and Interventional Radiology, 2006Co-Authors: Hyo-sung Kwak, Young-min Han, Gyung-ho Chung, Yeon-jun JeongAbstract:Isolated spontaneous dissection of the Common Iliac Artery (CIA) is a rare entity. Two patients with this condition were successfully treated by percutaneous stent placement. We emphasize the feasibility of nonsurgical management by percutaneous stent placement for isolated spontaneous dissection of the CIA.

angioplasty or stent placement in the proximal Common Iliac Artery is protection of the contralateral side necessary
Journal of Vascular and Interventional Radiology, 2001Co-Authors: Jason C Smith, Gregory E Watkins, Frank C Taylor, Luke Carlson, Jeffrey G Karst, Douglas C SmithAbstract:PURPOSE To determine if protection of the contralateral Common Iliac Artery is necessary when performing angioplasty or stent placement in a proximal Common Iliac Artery. MATERIALS AND METHODS A retrospective review of all patients undergoing endovascular treatment for unilateral Common Iliac Artery stenosis or occlusion from 1979 to 2000 was performed. All angiograms were reviewed independently by three experienced vascular interventional radiologists who evaluated both Common Iliac arteries before and after angioplasty or stent placement. RESULTS The medical records or angiograms of 514 patients were located. Of these, complete records and angiograms were found for 175 patients who underwent proximal (within 2 cm of its origin) Common Iliac Artery angioplasty or stent placement without treatment or protection of the contralateral Common Iliac Artery. Treatment of proximal Common Iliac stenosis in 160 patients resulted in luminal compromise of the contralateral Common Iliac in two patients (17% and 24% reduction in luminal diameter). No contralateral compromise was noted in 15 patients treated for Iliac occlusion. CONCLUSION The data reported herein suggest that protection of the contralateral Common Iliac Artery during angioplasty or stent placement in a proximal Common Iliac Artery is not mandatory.
