PURPOSE: To describe early experience with the use of iliac branch grafts (IBGs) in @entity439 repair. MATERIALS AND METHODS: From July 2007 to August 2009 (25 months), 14 @entity1 (13 @entity1 , one @entity1 ) with a mean age of 70.1 years (range, 59.3-80.0 y) were treated with IBGs. Indications were @entity439 with @entity2998 ( @entity2998 ) involvement (n = 11), @entity449 with @entity2998 involvement (n = 1), and bilateral @entity2998 and internal iliac artery (IIA) @entity439 (n = 1). @entity86 and patency rate were determined with computed tomography within 1 month of implantation and 1 year thereafter, with concurrent clinical evaluation for pelvic @entity63 . Mean follow-up period was 18.7 months (range, 6-35 mo). RESULTS: Technical success rate, as defined by successful implantation of IBG with no intraprocedural type I or @entity1070 , was 86% (12 of 14). A total of 14 IBGs were successfully deployed in 12 @entity1 . Two cases of technical failure were related to excessive iliac tortuosity. The mean hospitalization duration was 6.5 days (range, 3-14 d), with zero mortality at 30 days. There were two cases of @entity1070 treated conservatively and a single case of IBG-related @entity1070 that required repeat intervention. The rest of the stent-implanted aortic and @entity1029 remained stable in size, with no @entity1756 or @entity204 recorded. All stent-implanted iliac branches remained patent on follow-up. None of the @entity1 who received IBGs had new symptoms of pelvic @entity63 . CONCLUSIONS: Iliac branch graft placement is a feasible technique with excellent short-term results in the treatment of @entity439 .
