A85-year-old man was admitted to
our hospital with a right iliac artery anastomotic pseudoaneurysm
after aorto-biiliac Y-shaped graft replacement for the treatment
of abdominal aortic and biiliac aneurysms. We performed an endovascular
intervention of this anastomotic pseudoaneurysm with an ePTFE-covered
stent-graft. This method seemed to be very useful even in such
a high-risk patient, because it can be done under local anesthesia.
