A rare cause of urinary retention: Iliac Artery aneurysms
Journal of Surgical Case Reports, 2012Co-Authors: W Fraser, A Knott, S. PathakAbstract:Internal Iliac Artery aneurysms are rare, but with a mortality approaching 50% in those that rupture, prompt diagnosis is essential. Often presentation is nonspecific; a wide variety of symptoms and signs have been encountered, illustrating a challenge in identification. We report a case of ruptured internal Iliac Artery aneurysm presenting as urinary retention. The importance of maintaining a broad differential in cases of urinary retention is clearly highlighted.

Primary sarcoma of an Iliac Artery aneurysm
European Journal of Vascular and Endovascular Surgery, 1995Co-Authors: Ismail Khalil, Ayman Tawil, Mohieddin FahlAbstract:Vascular tumours are heterogenous neoplasms ranging from the common benign hemangiomas of small vessels, to the very rare and malignant spindle cell sarcomas of large vessels. Since the first report of a p r imary tumour of a large Artery in 18731 there have been only 45 reported cases in the wor ld literature. The majority (75%), of large vessel tumours arise in the thoracic and abdominal aorta. Of the peripheral arteries, the Iliac and femoral are the most frequently affected. We report a case of an undifferentiated sarcoma ensuing in a degenerative aneurysm of the Iliac Artery. We also review the literature as it pertains to tumours arising in the aorta and its major branches. common Iliac Artery aneurysm was thrombosed. An aor togram confirmed the CT scan findings (Fig. 1). With his symptoms persisting, we urgent ly operated on the patient. There was ectasia of the infrarenal abdominal aorta with localised aneurysmal dilatation of the common Iliac arteries. The left Iliac Artery was thrombosed and contained laminated thrombus. Grossly, the aneurysm wall and thrombus were normal in colour and consistency. The right Iliac Artery aneurysm consisted of an inf lammatory mass; the wall was thick, shiny and white. The aneurysmal dilatation extended into the internal Iliac Artery; the external Iliac was normal. The ureter and Iliac vein were en t rapped

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.
