  • Title: Bilateral Staged Computed Tomography-Guided Gluteal Artery Puncture for Internal Iliac Embolization in a Patient with Type II Endoleak.

    Journal: Ann Vasc Surg; 2016 Oct; 36():293.e5-293.e10. PubMed ID: 27423728.
    Abstract:
    Repair of isolated iliac aneurysm with stent-graft implantation and internal iliac coverage may induce significant type II endoleak from patent internal iliac refilling leading to ongoing aneurysm growth. Subsequent treatment of such complication can be challenging especially in case of bilateral iliac involvement. Open repair is technically demanding and often a high risk procedure, while embolization via transfemoral approach is unviable due to the stent-graft coverage precluding direct antegrade access between the common and the internal iliac lumen. Percutaneous retrograde embolization from superior gluteal artery is a feasible technique in case of impossible access through the origin of internal iliac artery.
