BACKGROUND: Iliac branch stent grafts (IBSGs) have been used for internal iliac artery preservation during @entity439 repair. However, current available branch iliac stent grafts used in Western countries are not suitable for many @entity1 in Asia because of shorter common iliac arteries (CIA). The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of a novel-designed IBSG in preservation of internal iliac artery during @entity439 repair in Chinese. METHODS: Eleven male @entity1 (range, aged 65-80  years) underwent endovascular repair with 15 IBSGs, including 4 bilateral repairs between January 2011 and December 2012. The median abdominal aortic @entity439 diameter was 50  mm and the common iliac diameter was 38  mm. All @entity1 received computed tomography angiography (CTA) before discharge and every 3  months afterward. RESULTS: The stent-graft deployment was technically successful in all cases. Seven of the 11 @entity1 had uneventful procedures and the rest 4 complicated with fever, @entity177 , and groin @entity1410 . The median length of hospitalization was 7  days. Perioperative mortality was zero. Follow-up documented that 1 @entity1 died at 14  months after surgery because of an unrelated cause. Two @entity1 were found to have a type I and III endoleak, respectively, then successful treatments with internal iliac artery extension stent grafts were applied at 6  months. The overall primary patency was 86.7%. Follow-up CTA showed @entity439 shrinkage in all @entity1 . CONCLUSIONS: These novel-designed IBSGs are safe and effective in preservation of internal iliac artery. It provides an alternative option for endovascular repair of the @entity1029 with @entity2998 , which is more common in Asian population.
