Abstract

Aorto-iliac artery aneurysms are very rare and the natural course of this disease is not well known. However, the risk of rupture is high and the mortality rate after rupture is extremely high. Preserving the pelvic circulation is important for the treatment of aorto-iliac artery aneurysms. We report here on a case of a patient suffering with aorto-iliac artery aneurysms, and these were treated by a hybrid endovascular operation that combined an open bypass of both iliac vessels with endovascular repair.
