Abstract

An 81-year-old man presented with rapid enlargement of a 2-year known abdominal aortic and common iliac aneurysms. A hybrid approach to preserve both hypogastric arteries (HAs) was planned: a bifurcated endograft for the right aortoiliac axis, right femoral-to-left femoral artery bypass, and left external-to-internal iliac artery stent graft placement. Urethral stenosis requiring an epicystostomy rendered this approach not feasible. After left HA embolization, a bifurcated endograft was deployed for the abdominal aortic aneurysm exclusion. The endograft right limb was extended using a second bifurcated endograft for the ipsilateral aortoiliac axis. Surgical femoral accesses were used for the 2 bifurcated endografts and left HA embolization. Through the left brachial access, 2 stent grafts were used to preserve the right hypogastric artery revascularization. The 5-year follow-up computed tomography scan demonstrated complete aneurysm exclusion and HA patency.
