Modified Technique for Iliac Branched Stent-Graft Insertion

Abstract 

Branched iliac stent grafts allow treatment of aorto–iliac aneurysms in patients with aneurysmal or short common iliac arteries whilst maintaining internal iliac arterial flow.

We describe a modified insertion technique involving iliac branched graft insertion over pre-positioned thoracic aortic and through and through iliac arterial guidewires.

Our technique has the potential to reduce procedural and screening time and reduce disposable costs.
