Abstract
- Behcet's disease is characterized by recurrent orogenital ulcers and ocular and cutaneous inflammatory lesions. It is a multisystem disorder affecting the skin, mucous membrane, eyes, joints, CNS and blood vessels. The vascular involvements consist of thrombophlebitis, arterial occlusion and arterial aneurysm. Rupture of large artery aneurysm is the leading cause of death in patients with Behcet's disease and surgical treatment is necessary. But, surgical treatment is often difficult and may lead to formation of further false aneurysms at the site of vascular anastomosis. Endovascular stent-graft placement emerged as an alternative treatment that is less invasive with a lower risk. We report a case of the aneurysm of right common iliac artery associated with Behcet's disease. Percutaneous stent-graft placement was attempted and successfully controlled aneurysmal manifestations.
