  • Title: Endovascular Repair of a Large Ilioiliac Fistula Using a Reversed Iliac Limb Endograft.
    Author: Konstantinou N, Kölbel T, Rohlffs F, Heidemann F, Debus SE, Tsilimparis N.
    Journal: Ann Vasc Surg; 2019 Apr; 56():354.e11-354.e15. PubMed ID: 30500655.
    Abstract:
    Ilioiliac fistulae are a rare condition, for which diagnosis and treatment can be challenging. In this report, we describe the case of a 74-year-old patient with a high-flow fistula between the left common iliac artery and the ipsilateral common iliac vein presenting with heart failure. The fistula was probably iatrogenic, caused by prostatic surgery 1 year earlier. We describe imaging findings on computed tomography angiography and the treatment by 2 back-table reversed stent grafts. The satisfactory results demonstrated in our case and those in the literature suggest that an endovascular treatment for this rare condition should be considered as the first-line therapy.
