INTRODUCTION: We investigated the feasibility of the intravascular treatment of @entity1029 in @entity1 at high perioperative risk. MATERIAL AND METHODS: January, 1996, to December, 1997, seven @entity1029 in 5 @entity1 were treated using endovascular procedures. The @entity1 were 4 @entity1 and 1 @entity1 whose mean age was 70 years (range: 61-74 years). Four of 7 @entity439 were in the common iliac artery (2 true @entity439 and 2 anastomotic @entity439 after aortoiliac bypass) and 3 were true internal iliac artery @entity439 . Preoperative CT and arteriography were performed in all cases to define the vascular morphology of the @entity439 , including its exact diameter and length. All procedures were performed in the operating room by a team of vascular radiologists and vascular surgeons, using a portable digital RX system (Philips BV29). The femoral approach was always used, which was percutaneous under local anesthesia in 4 cases and surgical under epidural anesthesia in the other 3 cases, according to the @entity1 's general condition and to common femoral artery morphology. Six endovascular Passager grafts were positioned in the common iliac artery using over-the-wire techniques; @entity902 coil embolization of the @entity2998 had been performed in 2 cases. Coil embolization of the @entity438 was the only treatment in 1 case. @entity439 were treated separately, at intervals of no less than 3 months. RESULTS: Immediate @entity439 exclusion was obtained in all cases, as confirmed at 2-20 months' follow-up in 6 cases. A displaced prosthesis needed reoperation in 1 case. No complications were observed during or early after the procedures, which were always well tolerated by the @entity1 . DISCUSSION: The endovascular treatment of @entity1029 is a relatively recent procedure and thus only short- and mid-run results are currently available, which appear satisfactory in 85% of the world's literature cases. Prosthesis displacement and intimal @entity1373 are reported as the main causes of failure. Lacking long-term results, we reserve this method to selected cases. Shorter hospitalization is another advantage. CONCLUSIONS: This little invasive procedure appears suitable for high-risk @entity1 and in the @entity532 metachronous to surgical bypass.
