Navigating Challenges in the Endovascular Treatment of Asymptomatic Aortoiliac Aneurysms: A 10-Year Comparative Analysis. J Clin Med 2023; 12:7000. [PMID: 38002615 PMCID: PMC10672210 DOI: 10.3390/jcm12227000] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/04/2023] [Revised: 10/30/2023] [Accepted: 11/06/2023] [Indexed: 11/26/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Treating an abdominal aortoiliac aneurysm (AAIA) with endovascular methods can be challenging when the internal iliac artery (IIA) is involved. Embolizing the IIA and extending the limb to the external iliac artery (IIAE + EE) to prevent a type 2 endoleak may lead to pelvic ischemic complications. To avoid these complications, strategies that preserve the IIA, such as the bell-bottom technique (BBT) and the iliac branch device (IBD), have been proposed. This study aims to compare the outcomes of these three endovascular approaches for AAIA. METHODS Between January 2010 and December 2019, 174 patients with asymptomatic AAIA were enrolled in this retrospective analysis. They were divided into two groups: 81 patients underwent non-IIAE procedures, and 93 patients underwent IIAE procedures. The iliac limb study group consisted of 106 limbs treated with the BBT, 113 limbs treated with the IIAE + EE, and 32 limbs treated with the IBD. The primary outcomes included the 30-day mortality rate and intraoperative limb complications. The secondary outcomes included postoperative pelvic ischemia, freedom from reintervention, and the overall 10-year survival rate. RESULTS There was no significant difference in the perioperative mortality rate between the non-IIAE group (0%) and the IIAE group (2.1%), p = 0.500. The intraoperative limb complications did not differ significantly between the BBT limbs (7.5%), the IIAE + EE limbs (3.5%), and the IBD limbs (3.1%) groups, p = 0.349. The incidence of buttock claudication was significantly greater in the bilateral IIAE + EE group compared to the unilateral IIAE + EE and non-IIAE groups (25%, 11%, and 2.5%, p-value < 0.004), and was similar to the incidence of buttock rest pain with skin necrosis (15%, 0%, and 0%, p < 0.001). During the 10-year follow-up, the BBT limbs group had a significantly lower rate of iliac limb reintervention free time than the IIAE + EE limbs and the IBD limbs groups (88.7%, 98.2%, and 93.8%, p = 0.016). There was no significant difference in the overall 10-year survival rate between the non-IIAE and IIAE groups (51.4% vs. 55.9%, p = 0.703). CONCLUSIONS The early and late mortality rates were similar between the non-IIAE and IIAE groups. Preserving the IIA is recommended to avoid pelvic ischemic complications. Considering the higher rate of reintervention in the BBT group, the IBD strategy may be preferred for AAIA.

Schneider DB, Matsumura JS, Lee JT, Peterson BG, Chaer RA, Oderich GS. Five-year outcomes from a prospective, multicenter study of endovascular repair of iliac artery aneurysms using an iliac branch device. J Vasc Surg 2023; 77:122-128. [PMID: 35842202 DOI: 10.1016/j.jvs.2022.07.006] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/16/2022] [Revised: 06/30/2022] [Accepted: 07/06/2022] [Indexed: 02/03/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE We have reported the 5-year results of a pivotal prospective, multicenter study conducted in the United States of a specifically designed iliac branch endoprosthesis (IBE; W.L. Gore & Associates, Flagstaff, AZ) for endovascular repair of aortoiliac aneurysms and common iliac artery aneurysms. METHODS A total of 63 patients (98.4% male; mean age, 70 years) with aortoiliac or common iliac artery aneurysms had undergone implantation of a single IBE device and a bifurcated aortoiliac stent graft. Patients with bilateral common iliac artery aneurysms (n = 22; 34.9%) had undergone either staged occlusion or surgical revascularization of the contralateral internal iliac artery before study enrollment. At 5 years, 36 of the 63 patients had completed the final study follow-up examinations, including clinical examinations (n = 35) and computed tomography (n = 32), with the results evaluated by an independent core laboratory and adverse events adjudicated by a clinical events committee. RESULTS At 5 years, freedom from all-cause mortality was 85.7% and freedom from aneurysm-related mortality was 100%. The nine deaths that had occurred (range, 132-1898 days) were adjudicated as unrelated to the aneurysm or procedure. Primary patency of the internal and external iliac artery IBE limbs was 95.1% and 100%, respectively. No patients had experienced new-onset buttock claudication on the IBE side or self-reported new-onset erectile dysfunction. The common iliac artery diameter on the IBE side was either unchanged or had decreased by ≥5 mm in 30 of the 31 patients (96.8%) with a baseline (1 month) and 5-year (range, 1641-2006 days) computed tomography scan available. Of the 31 evaluable patients, 9 (29.0%) had had an increase of ≥5 mm in the aortic diameter, 5 of whom had had a concurrent type II endoleak. No type I or type III endoleaks or device migration were identified by the core laboratory. Six patients had undergone eight secondary interventions, including five interventions for a type II endoleak. The freedom from secondary intervention was 90.5%. CONCLUSIONS The 5-year results of our prospective, multicenter study have confirmed the safety, efficacy, and durability of the IBE device for the treatment of aortoiliac and iliac artery aneurysms. The device effectively prevented common iliac artery aneurysm rupture, maintained the patency of the internal iliac artery, and avoided the complications associated with internal iliac artery sacrifice. Although common iliac artery aneurysm enlargement was rare, abdominal aortic enlargement was more common, suggesting that the outcomes of endovascular aneurysm repair might be different for patients with or without associated common iliac artery aneurysms.

Preliminary outcomes of the LifeStream balloon-expandable stentgraft in Zenith Iliac branch device to preserve pelvic circulation: A Korean multicenter study. Asian J Surg 2023; 46:94-98. [PMID: 35123861 DOI: 10.1016/j.asjsur.2022.01.012] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/03/2021] [Revised: 01/01/2022] [Accepted: 01/15/2022] [Indexed: 12/16/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND To evaluate early outcomes of aortoiliac or isolated iliac artery aneurysm repair using the Zenith® Bifurcated Iliac Side (ZBIS) stent graft combined with the LifeStream™ Balloon Expandable Vascular Covered Stent as a bridging stentgraft. METHODS Between August 2018 and February 2020, 38 patients (37 male, mean age 72.7 years) received 46 LifeStream stents in conjunction with 38 ZBIS stent grafts to bridge hypogastric arteries for aneurysm repair in six university hospitals in Korea. The primary outcomes were technical success rate and procedure-related complications. Secondary outcomes were bridging stent graft patency and re-intervention. RESULTS All procedures were performed as elective standard endovascular aortic aneurysm repair (EVAR) and unilateral iliac branch device (IBD). Mean follow-up was 13.1 months, and patient overall survival rate was 96.7%. Technical success rate was 76.3% (n = 29). Causes of failure included seven total endoleaks; six type Ic and one type IIIc from the IBD junction, one unintentional IIA coverage, and one failure to deploy the IIA stent graft. Procedure-related complications occurred in two patients: one LifeStream migration and one ZBIS stent graft migration. Overall patency rates for the LifeStream and ZBIS stents were 97.4% and 97.2%, respectively. CONCLUSION This multicenter preliminary experience with the LifeStream™ Balloon Expandable Vascular Covered Stent in IBD demonstrated good patency; however, an unexpectedly high rate of type Ic endoleaks was observed. Combined use of the LifeStream stent with the ZBIS stent graft is safe and feasible to preserve pelvic circulation with good patency and a low rate of device-related reintervention.

Abstract
The objective of these Guidelines was to revise and update the previous 2016 Italian Guidelines on Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Disease, in accordance with the National Guidelines System (SNLG), to guide every practitioner toward the most correct management pathway for this pathology. The methodology applied in this update was the GRADE-SIGN version methodology, following the instructions of the AGREE quality of reporting checklist as well. The first methodological step was the formulation of clinical questions structured according to the PICO (Population, Intervention, Comparison, Outcome) model according to which the Recommendations were issued. Then, systematic reviews of the Literature were carried out for each PICO question or for homogeneous groups of questions, followed by the selection of the articles and the assessment of the methodological quality for each of them using qualitative checklists. Finally, a Considered Judgment form was filled in for each clinical question, in which the features of the evidence as a whole are assessed to establish the transition from the level of evidence to the direction and strength of the recommendations. These guidelines outline the correct management of patients with abdominal aortic aneurysm in terms of screening and surveillance. Medical management and indication for surgery are discussed, as well as preoperative assessment regarding patients' background and surgical risk evaluation. Once the indication for surgery has been established, the options for traditional open and endovascular surgery are described and compared, focusing specifically on patients with ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms as well. Finally, indications for early and late postoperative follow-up are explained. The most recent evidence in the Literature has been able to confirm and possibly modify the previous recommendations updating them, likewise to propose new recommendations on prospectively relevant topics.

Abstract
Adjunct internal iliac artery (IIA) procedures, such as preoperative embolisation or coverage with iliac branch extensions, are not infrequent in the context of endovascular repair of abdominal aortic aneurysms. Moreover, on many occasions, these procedures are performed in a multi-stage approach by interventional radiologists prior to the main operation. Bearing in mind the potential complications of IIA occlusion when revascularization is not initially deemed necessary, various issues arise spanning from appropriate patient counselling to medicolegal consequences. Herein, we aim to provide a roadmap regarding appropriate patient consenting, highlighting the need for multidisciplinary approach of these patients.

Abstract
Background Iliac branch devices (IBDs) are valid tools for internal iliac artery preservation during endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm and iliac aneurysm repair. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of a novel IBD with an embedded branch configuration. Method A typical iliac artery model was reconstructed, and two models were manufactured using three-dimensional printing technology. The novel IBD was deployed into one iliac artery model by an experienced vascular surgeon. A mock circulation loop (MCL) and a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation were used to investigate the haemodynamic parameters of the iliac models without (Model A) and with (Model B) the IBD. A morphological analysis was conducted using computed tomography angiography and medical endoscopy. The flow distribution rate (FDR) and energy loss (EL) were used to quantify IBD performance. Results The FDR of the right internal iliac artery in the MCL of Model A and Model B was 18.88 ± 0.12% and 16.26 ± 0.09%, respectively (P = 0.0013). The FDR of the right internal iliac artery in the CFD simulation of Model A and Model B was 17.52 and 14.49%, respectively. The EL of Model A was greater than Model B in both the MCL and the CFD simulation. Compared with Model A, Model B had a larger region (8.46 vs. 3.64%) with a relative residence time of >20 Pa−1 at peak systole. Meanwhile, the area where the oscillatory flow index was >0.4 was significantly smaller in Model B than in Model A (0.46 vs. 0.043%). The region with an average wall shear stress of >4 Pa was greater in Model B than in Model A (0 vs. 0.22%). Conclusion The MCL and CFD simulation showed that the novel IBD had little impact on the FDR and EL of the iliac artery models. However, the IBD might be an effective tool for the treatment of abdominal aortic/iliac aneurysms that extend into branches. Further investigations are warranted to confirm whether this IBD could be useful in the clinic.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Iliac artery aneurysms (IAAs) are life-threatening once ruptured. Although some studies have revealed the pathology of IAAs, clinical information on IAAs is still limited. Moreover, previous studies were conducted in Western countries; thus, we aimed to identify the natural history of iliac artery aneurysms in a Japanese cohort. The purpose of this study was to investigate the IAA expansion rate in a Japanese cohort to consider the management of small IAAs and to identify indications for surgical intervention. METHODS Patients with iliac artery aneurysms were retrospectively reviewed. The primary outcome was the expansion rate of IAAs. We also investigated the correlation between expansion rate and patients' characteristics. Natural histories, including surgical interventions and rupture, were also assessed. RESULTS The mean expansion rate in our study was 1.59 ± 1.16 mm/year. There was a positive correlation between expansion rate and aneurysm diameter, which was estimated by y = 0.0052 × (X - 23.270)2 + 0.0632 × X - 0.0517, where y is the expansion rate, and X is aneurysm diameter. The freedom from surgical intervention rate of IAAs was 85.5% at 1 year, 54.0% at 3 years, and 41.5% at 5 years. No factors, except initial aneurysm diameter, were revealed as independent predictors of surgical intervention. We experienced one ruptured IAA, which showed unexpected rapid growth from 30.1 mm to 56.3 mm over 15 months during conservative management. This case demonstrated that IAAs ≥30 mm should be carefully followed up and considered for surgical intervention. CONCLUSIONS We conclude that larger aneurysms have greater expansion rates. Because IAAs ≥30 mm carry a risk of rapid expansion resulting in rupture, careful follow-up, and surgical intervention should be performed if iliac artery aneurysms are ≥30 mm in diameter.

Abstract
Giant Common Iliac Artery Aneurysms (CIAA) are an uncommon pathology that may present as a late complication after endovascular aortic repair secondary to aneurysmal degeneration with endoleak. We present an unusual case of a patient presenting 9 years after index endovascular CIAA exclusion with a painless abdominal mass found to be a 20+ cm CIAA secondary to type II endoleak from a recanalized coil embolized hypogastric artery. The patient underwent open aneurysmorrhaphy with ligation of the hypogastric artery.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Isolated iliac artery aneurysms (IAA), accounting for 2-7 percent of all abdominal aneurysms, are nowadays often treated with the use of iliac branched endografts. Although outside of the manufacturer's instructions for use, iliac branched devices can be used solely, without the adjunctive placement of an EVAR device, for the treatment of isolated IAA. In this study we aim to describe the outcomes of the use of the Gore IBE device, without support of an infrarenal EVAR device, for the exclusion of isolated IAA. DESIGN This study is an international multicenter retrospective cohort analysis. METHOD All patients that were treated with a solitary IBE for IAA exclusion from 11-01-2013 up to 31-12-2018 were retrospectively reviewed. The primary outcome was technical success. Secondary outcomes included mortality, intraoperative and postoperative complications, and re-interventions. RESULTS In total 18 European and American centers participated, including 51 patients in which 54 IAAs were excluded. The technical success rate was 94.1%, with an assisted technical success rate of 96.1%. There was no 30-day mortality and a 98.1% patency of both the internal and external iliac artery was found at 24-months follow-up. At 24-months follow-up, 81.5% of patients were free of complications and 90% were free of a secondary intervention. CONCLUSION Treatment with a solitary IBE is a safe and, at midterm, effective treatment strategy in selected patients with a solitary IAA.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The objective of this study is to report the medium-term results of GORE® EXCLUDER® Iliac Branch Endoprosthesis (IBE, W. L. Gore & Associates, Flagstaff, Ariz) for the treatment of aortoiliac aneurysms by using the GALIBER registry. METHODS Patients with aortoiliac or isolated common iliac/hypogastric aneurysms treated with Iliac Branch Endoprosthesis device between January 2014 and May 2019 were prospectively collected from 5 centers. Demographic, clinical, and radiologic data were extracted from electronic databases. Technical success was defined as successful implantation of the Iliac Branch Endoprosthesis device with exclusion of aortoiliac aneurysm, as well as patency of Iliac Branch Endoprosthesis in the follow-up. Iliac Branch Endoprosthesis patency was evaluated by Doppler ultrasound and/or computed tomography based on the protocol of each participant center. Follow-up was 731 days +/- 499. RESULTS Between January 2014 and May 2019, 105 iliac arteries were treated with GORE® IBE device, in 81 patients (79 men, two women; mean age 71, range 52-91). Only seven patients (8.6%) were symptomatic. 60 patients (74%) had aortic and iliac enlargement. Thirty-three patients presented bilateral iliac aneurysms (40.7%): In twenty-four (29.6%) patients, an Iliac Branch Endoprosthesis device was implanted in both sides, and in nine patients (11.1%), one Iliac Branch Endoprosthesis was used with the embolization of the contralateral hypogastric artery. Technical success was achieved in the 99% (104/105 iliac branch device implanted). There were no procedural deaths or type I or III intraoperative endoleaks observed. During the follow-up (range 55-1789 days), 28 (34.5%) type II endoleaks were observed and one (1.2%) type Ia was observed. The patency of the hypogastric arteries treated with the iliac branch device was 98.1% during the follow-up (range 55-1789 days). In 30% of the patients with contralateral hypogastric embolization, some kind of complications was observed in the embolizated side: one developed ischemic colitis and two buttock claudication. CONCLUSIONS Preservation of internal iliac artery with the Iliac Branch Endoprosthesis device can be performed safely with excellent technical success and good medium-term patency rates. These results support hypogastric preservation whenever possible to prevent ischemic complications.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The GORE EXCLUDER iliac branch endoprosthesis (IBE; W.L. Gore & Associates, Flagstaff, Ariz) is designed to preserve internal iliac artery (IIA) patency during endovascular treatment of aneurysms involving the common iliac artery. The device is intended to conform to iliac tortuosity, which may decrease adverse iliac events (AIE). The objective of this study was to evaluate risk factors for AIE after IBE implantation. METHODS This was a post hoc analysis of the prospective, multicenter GORE 12-04 IBE pivotal trial. Patients with preoperative and postoperative axial imaging were included, with analysis based on each treated iliac system. An independent core laboratory performed all scan measurements, including iliac diameters, lengths, and tortuosity. Conformability was analyzed by the changes in tortuosity after IBE deployment, with less change indicating greater conformation. The end point was AIE, defined as ipsilateral radiographic or clinical complications. Critical nonconformation was defined as a threshold change in tortuosity associated with a significant increase in AIE. RESULTS We included 98 patients with 101 treated iliac systems. There were eight AIE (8%; six IIA component occlusions, one iliac branch component occlusion, and one EIA dissection requiring reintervention). Patients with AIE had smaller IIA diameters and less IBE conformability. After multivariable logistic regression analysis, an IIA diameter of less than 10 mm and a change in total iliac tortuosity beyond -15% were independently associated with AIE (odds ratio, 12 [interquartile range, 1.4-110] and odds ratio, 8.2 [interquartile range, 1.5-46], respectively), and the latter was used to define critical nonconformation. Critical nonconformation occurred in 11% of treated systems, and was associated with a high rate of AIE (36% vs 4%; P = .004). CONCLUSIONS Endograft conformation is a novel device property and technical outcome that, along with a larger IIA diameter, is associated with freedom from AIE after IBE deployment. An evaluation of these risk factors may better inform the management of patients with iliac aneurysmal disease. Further research on endograft conformation and patient outcomes is warranted, particularly for those with challenging anatomy undergoing complex procedures.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to present a multicentre experience of technical results and mid-term follow-up using a custom-made iliac fenestrated device (Terumo Aortic, Inchinnan, Renfrewshire, UK) for the treatment of iliac aneurysms and endoleaks. METHODS A multicentre retrospective evaluation of 22 patients (3-12 per institution) with either an iliac artery aneurysm or endoleak treated with an iliac fenestrated device was performed. Data were gathered from 3 departments of vascular and endovascular surgery at 3 European institutions. RESULTS Ten of the included patients (45.5%) were treated for an endoleak and 12 had aorto-iliac aneurysms (54.5%). Two patients underwent bilateral fenestrated device implantation for a total of 24 devices included in this analysis. Primary technical success was 91.7% (22 of 24 implanted devices). One of the 24 internal iliac arteries could not be cannulated and was covered (primary assisted technical success rate 95.8%) and 1 patient required a relining of the stent graft due to a mid-grade stenosis opposite the internal iliac artery fenestration. Survival at the last available follow-up (mean 15.2 ± 12.0 months, range 0.5-36.6 months) was 90.9%. CONCLUSIONS The present investigation adds to a growing body of literature on custom-made endografts and their usefulness in achieving endovascular repair without compromising blood flow via important arterial branch vessels, such as the internal iliac artery. It presents encouraging technical and mid-term follow-up data from consecutive patients treated for iliac aneurysms or endoleaks using this custom-made device. The technique may help avoid adverse sequelae associated to a coil-and-cover approach when iliac branch devices are not feasible.

Abstract
Bilateral absence of the common iliac artery is an extremely rare congenital vascular malformation in which the distal aorta divides directly into two external iliac arteries and two internal iliac arteries. In the case of the presence of this vascular malformation in association with an aortic aneurysm, preservation of the internal iliac artery flow during endovascular aortic repair represents a technical challenge. We have reported a case in which the bilateral absence of the common iliac artery associated with an infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm was successfully treated by endovascular aortic repair using commercially available iliac branched devices to maintain pelvic perfusion.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Current guidelines indicate iliac-branched endografts (IBDs) as the ideal means to preserve pelvic perfusion during endovascular aortic repair. Because patient vascular anatomy represents the main limitation to extensive use of these devices, off-label application may be considered to expand the number of patients being treated. The aim of this study is to evaluate long-term outcomes obtained using the Cook ZBIS endograft in the treatment of aortoiliac aneurysms as per or outside manufacturer's instruction for use (IFU). METHODS Data from all patients who underwent IBD implant in a single center were reviewed. Study population was divided into two subgroups: Group I treated as per manufacturer's IFU and group II treated outside IFU. RESULTS During the study period (2008-2018), 119 patients were treated with 130 IBDs. Eighty-six patients were treated as per IFU (group I) and 44 outside IFU (group II). Overall technical success was 99.2%. Mean follow-up was of 63.5 ± 38.3 months for group I and 58.3 ± 35.9 months for group II (P = 0.45). Freedom from reintervention at ten years was 79.8% in group I and 69.6% in group II (P = 0.29). Freedom from IBD-related reintervention rate was 98.7% and 95.3% in groups I and II, respectively (P = 0.240). Iliac-branched module thrombosis occurred significantly more in patients treated outside IFU with 4 cases in group I (4.7%) and 10 cases in group II (22.7%), (P = 0.005). Cox regression analysis identified hypogastric artery aneurysm as the only independent predictor for both IBD thrombosis and hypogastric artery occlusion during follow-up. CONCLUSIONS When used by an experienced team, Cook IBDs are safe and effective in the treatment of aortoiliac aneurysms both inside and outside IFU. Anyway a lower target hypogastric patency rate should be expected when treating patients with hypogastric aneurysms.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To compare the outcomes of using iliac branch devices (IBD) and the crossover chimney (COCh) technique for preserving the internal iliac artery (IIA) during endovascular aortic repair in patients with common iliac aneurysm (CIA). METHODS From February 2010 to July 2016, we recruited 61 consecutive and elective patients. Thirty of them received the IBD, and the remaining 31 received the COCh. Their medical chart was reviewed retrospectively, and computed tomographic angiography was performed at 3, 6, and 12 months postoperatively and then yearly as a follow-up. RESULTS The median follow-up time was 19.72 ± 5.45 months. The technical success rate reached 100% in both groups. The 12-month and 24-month primary IIA patency rates between IBD and COCh group were 90.00% versus 93.54% (p = 0.67) and 83.33% versus 93.54% (p = 0.25). The numbers of stents were 1.00 ± 0.00 and 1.93 ± 0.24 in the IBD and COCh group (p < 0.001). No significant difference was observed for the incidence of type 1a (IBD/COCh = 3.33%/6.45%, p > 0.99) and type 2 endoleak (IBD/COCh = 13.33%/12.90%, p > 0.99) between two groups. Neither type 1b or type 3 endoleak nor delayed aortic rupture appeared in our series. The postoperative complication rates did not exhibit significant differences either. Free from reintervention was also similar in both groups (IBD/COCh = 22.50 ± 4.62/23.00 ± 3.87 months, p = 0.64). CONCLUSIONS The IBD and COCh techniques exhibited similar success rates and IIA patency rates at the 24-month follow-up. Both these techniques are feasible for the preservation of IIA in patients with CIA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Endovascular aortic aneurysm repair (EVAR) is used to treat aorto-iliac and isolated iliac aneurysms in selected patients, and prospective studies have shown advantages compared with open surgical repair, mainly in the first years of follow-up. Although this technique produces good results, anatomic issues (such as common iliac artery ectasia or an aneurysm that involves the iliac bifurcation) can make EVAR more complex and challenging and can lead to an inadequate distal seal zone for the stent-graft. Inadequate distal fixation in the common iliac arteries can lead to a type Ib endoleak. To avoid this complication, one of the most commonly used techniques is unilateral or bilateral internal iliac artery occlusion and extension of the iliac limb stent-graft to the external iliac arteries with or without embolisation of the internal iliac artery. However, this occlusion is not without harm and is associated with ischaemic complications in the pelvic territory such as buttock claudication, sexual dysfunction, ischaemic colitis, gluteal necrosis, and spinal cord injury. New endovascular devices and alternative techniques such as iliac branch devices and the sandwich technique have been described to maintain pelvic perfusion and decrease complications, achieving revascularisation of the internal iliac arteries in patients not suitable for an adequate seal zone in the common iliac arteries. These approaches may also preserve the quality of life of treated individuals and may decrease other serious complications including spinal cord ischaemia, ischaemic colitis, and gluteal necrosis, thereby decreasing the morbidity and mortality of EVAR. OBJECTIVES To assess the effects of internal iliac artery revascularisation versus internal iliac artery occlusion during endovascular repair of aorto-iliac aneurysms and isolated iliac aneurysms involving the iliac bifurcation. SEARCH METHODS The Cochrane Vascular Information Specialists searched the Cochrane Vascular Specialised Register; the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), in the Cochrane Library; MEDLINE; Embase; the Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL); and the World Health Organization International Clinical Trials Registry Platform and ClinicalTrials.gov trials registers to 28 August 2019. The review authors searched Latin American Caribbean Health Sciences Literature (LILACS) and the Indice Bibliográfico Español de Ciencias de la Salud (IBECS) on 28 August 2019 and contacted specialists in the field and manufacturers to identify relevant studies. SELECTION CRITERIA We planned to include all randomised controlled trials (RCTs) that compared internal iliac artery revascularisation with internal iliac artery occlusion for patients undergoing endovascular treatment of aorto-iliac aneurysms and isolated iliac aneurysms involving the iliac bifurcation. DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS Two review authors independently assessed identified studies for potential inclusion in the review. We used standard methodological procedures in accordance with the Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Review of Interventions. MAIN RESULTS We identified no RCTs that met the inclusion criteria. AUTHORS' CONCLUSIONS We found no RCTs that compared internal iliac artery revascularisation versus internal iliac artery occlusion for endovascular treatment of aorto-iliac aneurysms and isolated iliac aneurysms involving the iliac bifurcation. High-quality studies that evaluate the best strategy for managing endovascular repair of aorto-iliac aneurysms with inadequate distal seal zones in the common iliac artery are needed.

Abstract
This paper reviews the development of endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) of infra-renal aortic and iliac artery aneurysms and considers the current status and best treatment options. The vast majority of devices are bifurcated and exclude the aneurysm utilizing the same techniques for fixation and seal. The modern EVAR procedure is usually performed in a hybrid operating theatre, utilizing image fusion and other radiation-reducing techniques and using optimized procedural techniques, including percutaneous access. The best outcomes are achieved in patients whose anatomy is within device "instructions for use", but these are most commonly breached due to "hostile" neck anatomy. Endovascular options for these cases include the use of fenestrated endografts, chimney grafts and endoanchors. Concomitant iliac artery aneurysms often occur with abdominal aortic aneurysms, and endovascular options include limb extensions with internal iliac embolization as well as iliac branch devices. The durability of EVAR has recently been called into question by long-term results from early EVAR randomized trial. Findings such as infra-renal neck dilatation and aneurysm sac expansion are relatively common and associated with adverse outcomes. This durability concern mandates regular and long-term imaging and clinical surveillance. It also indicates that EVAR technology is not fully evolved with a need for further development to improve patient applicability and long-term durability.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Preserving internal iliac flow is the key to preventing ischemic complications during endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR). The aim of this study is to determine the morphological features of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) that have been reported in clinical trials in Chinese patients to identify unique features of iliac branched systems. METHODS The data for patients who had common iliac aneurysms suitable for imaging review from 2014 to 2017 at 1 institution in China were reviewed. Three-dimensional workstations were used to measure the centerline diameters and lengths of aortoiliac structures, which were screened for suitability for both Cook iliac branch devices (IBD) and Gore iliac branch endoprosthesis (IBE). RESULTS A total of 102 lesions of common iliac aneurysms were suitable for imaging review. The anatomic standards for the Gore IBE and Cook IBD were met by 13.7% (14/102) and 9.8% (10/102) of the cases, respectively, and 3 cases were suitable for both devices. The most common cause of not meeting the criteria was the same for both the Cook IBD (78.4%) and Gore IBE (48.03%), which was a limitation of the diameter of the target internal iliac artery. Of the 92 lesions excluded from the Cook IBD trial, 11 (11.9%) were eligible for the Gore IBE trial. Likewise, 7.95% (7/88) of the lesions excluded from the Gore IBE trial would have been eligible for the Cook IBD graft. In a practice that is able to enroll patients in both trials, a total of 20.6% (21/102) of the patients would be eligible for treatment, based on the anatomic criteria. CONCLUSIONS The high incidence of iliac artery involvement in AAAs makes EVAR more complicated. Cook IBD and Gore IBE are only suitable for the treatment of a total of 20.6% Chinese patients based on the anatomic criteria. A limitation in the diameter of the target internal iliac artery is the most common cause of failure to meet the criteria for both devices. Future generations of iliac branch technologies should be designed with diameter accommodations for the hypogastric branch stent to reach a wider group of patients with aortoiliac aneurysmal disease.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The feasibility of endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) is often challenged by the concurrent presence of common iliac artery aneurysms, which prevent the attainment of a successful distal sealing. The present review aims to portray the safety and efficacy of two internal iliac artery (IIA) preservation strategies in the endovascular treatment of aortoiliac aneurysms: the iliac branch extension device (IBED) and the parallel graft - "sandwich" technique (PG-ST). EVIDENCE ACQUISITION A comprehensive literature review was conducted to identify publications on endovascular treatment of iliac aneurysmal disease using IBED or PG-ST. Primary endpoints were freedom from endoleak, IIA branch occlusion and secondary interventions. EVIDENCE SYNTHESIS Twenty-eight studies were selected for analysis describing a total of 1316 patients, 1169 in the IBED group and 147 in the PG-ST group. The technical success rates were akin for IBED and PG-ST (83.9-100% versus 81.3-100%). The defined primary endpoints were reported by fourteen articles. Freedom from endoleak, IIA branch occlusion and reintervention, at 6 months, were as follows: 82-100% versus 86%, 90-94% versus 88%, and 90-98% versus 87%, respectively for IBED and PG-ST. Later outcomes were only recorded in the IBED group, and freedom from endoleak, IIA branch occlusion and reintervention, at 9 years, were 83%, 81-90%, and 64-75%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Both IBED and PG-ST have proven to be safe and valid approaches. However, while IBED has established as a durable procedure, mid-term data lacks on PGs performance and further studies are required to attest durability of the latter procedure.

Preservation of pelvic perfusion with iliac branch devices does not decrease ischemic colitis compared with hypogastric embolization in endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm repair. J Vasc Surg 2019; 71:815-823.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Ischemic colitis is a rare but devastating complication of endovascular repair of infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysms. Although it is rare (0.9%) in standard endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR), the incidence increases to 2% to 3% in EVAR with hypogastric artery embolization (HAE). This study investigated whether preservation of pelvic perfusion with iliac branch devices (IBDs) decreases the incidence of ischemic colitis. METHODS We used the targeted EVAR module in the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database to identify patients undergoing EVAR of infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm from 2012 to 2017. The cohort was further stratified into average-risk and high-risk groups. Average-risk patients were those who underwent elective repair for sizes of the aneurysms, whereas high-risk patients were repaired emergently for indications other than asymptomatic aneurysms. Within these groups, we examined the 30-day outcomes of standard EVARs, EVAR with HAE, and EVAR with IBDs. The primary outcome was the incidence of ischemic colitis. Secondary outcomes included mortality, major organ dysfunction, thromboembolism, length of stay, and return to the operating room. The χ2 test, Fisher exact test, Kruskal-Wallis test, and multivariate regression models were used for data analysis. RESULTS There were 11,137 patients who had infrarenal EVAR identified. We designated this the all-risk cohort, which included 9263 EVAR, 531 EVAR-HAE, and 1343 EVAR-IBD procedures. These were further stratified into 9016 cases with average-risk patients and 2121 cases with high-risk patients. In the average-risk group, 7482 had EVAR, 411 had EVAR-HAE, and 1123 had EVAR-IBD. In the high-risk group, 1781 had EVAR, 120 had EVAR-HAE, and 220 had EVAR-IBD. There was no significant difference in 30-day outcomes (including ischemic colitis) between EVAR, EVAR-HAE, and EVAR-IBD in the all-risk and high-risk groups. In the average-risk cohort, EVAR-HAE was associated with a higher mortality rate than EVAR (2.2% vs 1.0%; adjusted odds ratio, 2.58; P = .01). Although EVAR-IBD was not superior to EVAR-HAE in 30-day mortality, major organ dysfunction, or ischemic colitis in this average-risk cohort, EVAR-IBD exhibited a trend toward lower mortality compared with EVAR-HAE in this cohort, but it was not statistically significant (1.0% vs 2.2%; adjusted odds ratio, 0.42; P = .07). CONCLUSIONS Ischemic colitis is a rare complication of EVAR. HAE does not appear to increase the risk of ischemic colitis, and preservation of pelvic perfusion with IBDs does not decrease its incidence. Although HAE is associated with significantly higher mortality than standard EVAR in average-risk patients, the preservation of pelvic perfusion with IBDs does not appear to improve mortality over HAE.

Abstract
Objectives: To evaluate the outcomes of the E-ventus BX balloon-expandable stent graft system (Jotec, Hechingen, Germany) implanted as bridging stent grafts during fenestrated endovascular aortic repair (FEVAR) and the iliac branch device (IBD) of complex aneurysms. Methods: This was a single centre retrospective analysis prospective study including all consecutive patients treated by FEVAR and the IBD performed with E-ventus BX stent grafts as bridging stents. Demographics of patients, the diameter and length of the bridging stent grafts, technical success, reinterventions, occlusions, post-operative events, and imaging (computed tomography [CT] scan and ultrasound) were prospectively collected in an electronic database. Follow-ups were performed with clinical assessment and a CT angiogram scan at four weeks after discharge followed by a duplex ultrasound every six months for two years and then a yearly duplex scan afterwards. Results: Between June 2015 and October 2017, 40 consecutive patients (three females) were treated with custom made fenestrated endografts and the iliac branch device for complex aneurysms, using the E-Ventus BX stent graft. All 82 E-Ventus BX stent grafts were successfully delivered and deployed. There was no in-hospital mortality. The early bridging stents patency rate was 97.6% (80 out of 82). The two-target vessel post-operative occlusion was secondary to kink of the renal stents and failure for re-lining of the renal artery. Of the two patients, only one needed permanent dialysis. On the late follow-up (after 30 days), two other patients demonstrated a renal stent occlusion, with one treated successfully with re-lining of the stent and the other patient treated conservatively. Neither of them needed permanent dialysis. A follow-up was maintained for 36 patients until April 2018 with a median follow-up of 18 months. All bridging stents E-Ventus BX stent grafts remained patent (78 out of 82, 95.1%). Conclusion: E-Ventus BX stent grafts used as bridging stents during FEVAR and the IBD are associated with favourable outcomes at the mid-term follow-up. Long-term follow-up is required to confirm these promising results.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Treatment of common and internal iliac aneurysms is usually done by open surgery. A novel iliac branch endoprosthesis (IBE) is commercially available with encouraging initial results. Our objective is to compare perioperative outcomes of patients with iliac aneurysms treated by open surgery (OS) versus endovascular repair with IBE. METHODS The study was a retrospective, single-center review of patients who were treated for aortoiliac or isolated common and/or internal iliac artery aneurysms from 2014 to 2017. Patients with connective tissue disorders, infected grafts, or thoracoabdominal aneurysms were excluded. Primary outcomes were perioperative mortality, length of hospital (LOS) and intensive care unit (ICU) stay, estimated blood loss, need for red blood cell transfusion (RBC), and perioperative reinterventions. RESULTS Sixty-seven patients (96% male) were treated with OS (n = 25, mean age 68 ± 8 years) or IBE (n = 42, mean age 73 ± 8 years; P = 0.02) with 1 symptomatic patient in each group. Perioperative mortality occurred in 1 patient in the OS group (4%), with no mortality in the IBE group (P = 0.37) Total LOS and ICU stay was higher for OS compared to IBE (total stay 7.5 ± 3.4 vs. 1.7 ± 1.4 days for IBE, P < 0.0001 and ICU LOS 3.3 ± 2.1 vs. 0.1 ± 0.4 days, P < 0.0001). Estimated blood loss was higher for patients undergoing OS (4,732 ± 2,540 mL) compared to patients treated with IBE (263 ± 451 mL, P < 0.0001), resulting in higher RBC transfusion requirements (1.5 ± 2.4 vs. 0.2 ± 0.8 units, P = 0.001). Five patients in the OS group had early procedure-related reinterventions, while 2 patients in the IBE group required reintervention for access site complications (20% vs. 4.7%, P = 0.09). CONCLUSIONS Endovascular repair of iliac aneurysms with IBE is feasible and is associated with lower blood loss, LOS and ICU stay, and had lower RBC transfusion requirements. Cost analysis and long-term follow-up will be needed to define the value of this modality for iliac artery aneurysm repair.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Twenty percent of the patients with AAA have an aneurysm involving the common iliac arteries. Large common iliac diameter can be treated with an iliac branched device or extension of the stent graft to the external iliac artery with occlusion of the ipsilateral internal iliac artery (IIA) to prevent type 2 endoleaks. This study describes and evaluates a embolization technique using Onyx in conjunction with EVAR in aneurysms with poor landing zones in the common iliac arteries. METHODS Patients with Onyx IIA embolization during EVAR, identified from the hospital operating code database, constitute the study population. Onyx embolization was performed by injection at the IIA origin. Peri- and postoperative complications were collected from the medical records. Thin-sliced CT scan was performed 1 month and 1 year after the procedure. RESULTS Thirty-six patients with complex iliac anatomy and insufficient landing zones (without sealing possibility for standard stent grafts) were identified out of 243 consecutive EVAR treatments during a 13-year period. In seventeen patients (7%), the IIA was embolized with Onyx. Technical success was obtained in all 17 patients, without adverse event or procedural complication. No complication related to the embolization procedure was noted during follow-up. CONCLUSIONS During EVAR treatment of patients with aneurysm involving the common iliac artery, Onyx embolization of IIA is a feasible option without need of selective catheterization of the IIA orifice, potentially preserving important branches of the IIA and simplifying emergency procedures.

Abstract
Open technique for elective repair of iliac artery aneurysms can be safely performed with good outcomes but not inconsequential morbidity. An endovascular approach has been shown to have both periprocedural and postoperative advantages with equivalent outcomes. Endovascular repair of common iliac arteries (CIAs) without sacrificing the hypogastric artery using an iliac branch device is a complex endovascular technique requiring a proximal seal zone that may be absent in larger CIA aneurysms. We present two cases in which CIA aneurysms were repaired with a customized endovascular technique using the benefit of the aortic bifurcation for stability in addition to providing a long proximal seal zone with the AFX device (Endologix, Irvine, Calif) paired with the iliac branch device (W. L. Gore & Associates, Flagstaff, Ariz) for internal iliac artery preservation.

Abstract
Iliac branch devices (IBDs) are undergoing rapid popularization. They allow for treatment of an iliac aneurysm while preserving blood flow to the hypogastric artery. Certain anatomic criteria are necessary for the use of an iliac side branch device to be technically feasible. Custom-made fenestrated iliac stent grafts may provide an alternative when anatomic criteria for an IBD are not met.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The iliac side branch device (IBD) is a valid method for the treatment of abdominal aorto-iliac aneurysms. However there is still a lack of evidence regarding the optimal length of the bridging stent graft (BSG) since aneurysmal degeneration of the hypogastric artery (HA) is an exclusion criterion. The aim of this study was to analyse the impact of longer BSG compared to the widely used 38mm stent-grafts in terms of reintervention rate and primary patency. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed our prospectively collected database of all patients who underwent an endovascular aneurysm repair using an IBD in our center between April 2005 and May 2015. The used BSGs were divided into 2 groups. In group A, the BSG was ≤38 mm, and group B>38 mm. The primary endpoint was BSG-related events, including stenosis, occlusion or endoleak. Secondary endpoints were technical success, primary patency and 30-day mortality. RESULTS Two hundred sixty IBDs were implanted in 215 consecutive patients. Ninetyseven (37%) in group A and 163 (63%) in group B. The technical success rate was 100%. The 30-day mortality was 1% (N.=1) and 1.2% (N.=2) respectively for group A and B (P=0.8). The freedom from BSG-related events amounted to 84% at 60 months for the total cohort. The comparison between the two groups shows no significant difference, while a slight favorable trend for group B (75% vs. 91% at 60 months, P=0.081) was observed. No differences were found as to primary patency (96% and 99% at 60 months respectively for group A and B, P=0.237). CONCLUSIONS The use of longer stent-grafts (>38 mm) seems not to affect the performance of BSG even in the long run, expanding the indication for IBD also for aneurysms of the hypogastric artery.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To study the safety and feasibility of the E-liac Stent Graft System® in patients with aorto/iliac aneurysms. METHODS A prospective multicentric European registry of patients receiving the E-liac Stent Graft System® was conducted. Endpoints of the study included the technical success as well as periprocedural events and 30-day endoleaks, reinterventions, internal and external iliac artery patency and mortality. RESULTS Between July 2014 and June 2016, a total of 45 patients (93% men, mean age 72 years, range 53-90 years) were enrolled at 11 sites in four European countries. Five patients received an isolated iliac treatment. Thirty-seven patients were treated with a combination of an abdominal stent graft and a unilateral E-liac and three in combination with bilateral E-liac. All E-liac Stent Grafts (48) were implanted in the intended position and the internal iliac arteries were successfully bridged. Two patients did not receive clinical success, due to endoleak type Ia of the aortic stent graft. At 30-day follow-up, clinical success rate was 96%. Three successful endovascular reinterventions were performed within the 30-day follow-up: one due to a type Ia endoleak in the common iliac artery, one due to type Ia endoleak of the aortic stent graft, and one due to bilateral lower limb claudication provoked by stent graft limb stenosis. At 30-day, a 100% survival rate and complete absence of pelvic or buttock ischemia/claudication were reported. Primary patency at 30 days was 100% for the internal iliac artery and 98% for the external iliac artery with an assisted patency of 100% in the latter. CONCLUSIONS The high clinical success rate, low rates of device-related reinterventions (2%), and excellent patency rate demonstrate the safety and feasibility of the E-liac Stent Graft System. Long-term results are awaited to state efficacy and durability. Clinical Trials.gov. Identifier no. NCT02209194.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Bell-bottom technique (BBT) is one method to preserve the internal iliac artery during endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) for abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) that extends to iliac artery. The data on the efficacy of this technique are still limited. We sought to evaluate the midterm efficacy of BBT by using different stent grafts in the treatment of AAA combined with iliac artery aneurysm (IAA). METHODS From January 2011 to December 2016, AAA patients with IAA using BBT to preserve the internal iliac artery were retrospectively analyzed in our institution. Patients were followed up at 3, 6, and then every 12 months after surgery. The outcomes among 3 types of stent grafts (Zenith, Excluder, and Endurant) were compared. BBT-related end points including type Ib endoleak, IAA sac expansion, distal neck expansion, and rupture during follow-up were compared. Other events including perioperative death, any other types of endoleak, and corresponding management were also documented. RESULTS A total of 125 patients with 141 IAAs were identified. Ninety-eight patients (78.4%) with 113 lesions (80.4%) received a median follow-up time of 38 months. The incidence of type Ib endoleak was 22.9%, 8.3%, 11.9%, and 14.2% (P = 0.19) in Zenith, Excluder, Endurant group, and total patients, respectively. The incidence of IAA sac enlargement was 17.1%, 5.6%, 7.1%, and 9.7% (P = 0.20). The incidence of IAA rupture was 8.6%, 0.0%, 0.0%, and 2.7% (P = 0.03). The incidence of IAA neck enlargement was 34.3%, 13.9%, 16.7%, and 21.2% (P = 0.07). Totally, 14 cases (10.7%) received further treatment for BBT-related issues. CONCLUSIONS Although BBT remains a safe and effective treatment option to preserve internal iliac artery during standard EVAR with acceptable complication rates in Asians, different IAA rupture rates were found among 3 different stent grafts. Our data for the first time revealed that the type of stent grafts has influence on the final clinical outcome. Based on that, iliac extension should be selected appropriately while treating AAA-IAA.

Abstract
Background Endovascular aortic repair (EVAR) is widely performed to treat infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs), and related techniques and devices continue to be developed. Although continuous attempts have been made to perform EVAR in patients with unfavorable aortic anatomy, the outcomes are still controversial. This study examined the short-term outcomes of EVAR for the treatment of infrarenal AAAs in patients with a ‘hostile’ neck and unfavorable iliac anatomy. Methods Thirty-eight patients who underwent EVAR from January 2012 to December 2017 were enrolled in this study. A hostile neck was defined based on neck length, angulation, the presence of an associated thrombus, or a conical shape. Unfavorable iliac anatomy was considered to be present in patients with a short common iliac artery (<15 mm) or the presence of aneurysmal changes. Results No perioperative mortality was recorded. No significant differences were found depending on the presence of a hostile neck, but aneurysmal sac shrinkage was significantly less common in the group with unfavorable iliac anatomy (p=0.04). A multivariate analysis performed to analyze the risk factors for aneurysmal progression revealed only unfavorable iliac anatomy to be a risk factor (p=0.02). Conclusion Patients with unfavorable aortic anatomy showed relatively satisfactory short-term outcomes after EVAR. No difference in the surgical outcomes was observed in patients with a hostile neck. However, unfavorable iliac anatomy was found to inhibit the shrinkage of the aneurysmal sac.

Abstract
PURPOSE To assess early and midterm outcomes of iliac branch device (IBD) implantation without an aortic stent-graft for the treatment of isolated common iliac artery aneurysm (CIAA). METHODS From December 2006 to June 2016, 49 isolated CIAAs in 46 patients were treated solely with an IBD at 7 vascular centers. Five patients were lost to follow-up, leaving 41 male patients (mean age 72.5±7.8 years) for analysis. Mean CIAA diameter was 39.1±10.5 mm (range 25-65). Thirty-two patients (2 with bilateral CIAAs) were treated with a Cook Zenith iliac branch device; 9 patients (1 bilateral) received a Gore Excluder iliac branch endoprosthesis. Primary endpoints were technical success, survival, aneurysm exclusion, device patency, and freedom from reintervention at 1 and 5 years. Freedom from major adverse events and aneurysm shrinkage at 1 year were also assessed. RESULTS Thirty-day mortality and the IBD occlusion rate were 2.4% and 2.3%, respectively. At a mean follow-up of 40.2±33.9 months, no patient presented buttock claudication, erectile dysfunction, or bowel or spinal cord ischemia. Three patients died within 6 months after the procedure. Estimates of cumulative survival, device patency, and freedom from reintervention were 90.2%, 95.2%, and 95.7%, respectively, at 1 and 5 years. At 1 year, CIAA shrinkage ≥5 mm was recorded in 21 of 38 survivors. No evidence of endoleak, device migration, or disconnection was found on imaging follow-up. CONCLUSION The use of IBDs without an aortic stent-graft for isolated CIAAs resulted in excellent patency, with low morbidity and mortality. This, in conjunction with no endoleak or migration and a low reintervention rate, supports the use of isolated IBDs as a stable and durable means of endovascular reconstruction in cases with suitable anatomy. Longer follow-up and a larger cohort are needed to validate these results.
