Iliac Artery Aneurysm
Repair of pelvic artery aneurysms while preserving blood flow.
What it is
Iliac artery aneurysms affect the arteries in the pelvis and are often treated with iliac-branch stent-grafts that seal the aneurysm while preserving pelvic blood flow, or with open repair when anatomy requires it.
When it’s recommended
- Isolated or aorto-iliac aneurysm involving the iliac arteries
- Desire to preserve pelvic (internal iliac) blood flow
- Anatomy suited to a branched device or open repair
How it’s performed
Every plan is individualized and reviewed by our multidisciplinary aortic team.
Imaging to plan branch preservation
An iliac-branch stent-graft is deployed
Pelvic flow is preserved where possible
Completion imaging confirms the seal
Recovery & follow-up
Endovascular repair offers a quick recovery; open repair recovery is longer. Surveillance imaging follows stent-graft repair.
Why the Baylor Medicine Center for Aortic Surgery
Complex aortic care is safest in experienced hands. Dr. Oderich and the Center bring more than 7,000 open and endovascular aortic repairs of experience, advanced imaging, and a multidisciplinary team to every case.
