Materials and Methods: Between January 2010 and July 2016, 79 patients (mean age 74.3¡À8.4 years; 76 men) underwent endovascular repair extending into the external iliac artery owing to a CIA aneurysm. The procedure was performed for a ruptured aneurysm in 22 (28%) patients. Eighty-one IIAs were intentionally covered. The median CIA diameter was 37 mm (range 20¨C90). The primary outcomes were the occurrence of type II endoleaks and the incidence of buttock claudication. Results: Five (6%) patients died within 30 days (4 with ruptured aneurysms and 1 elective case). Two type II endoleaks originating from a covered IIA were recorded; one required an endovascular intervention because of aneurysm growth. The other patient died of a rupture based on an additional type III endoleak. Mean follow-up was 37.6¡À26.3 months. Nineteen (26%) patients required a secondary intervention. Buttock claudication was reported in 21 (28%) of 74 patients and persisted after 1 year in 7. No severe ischemic complications as a result of IIA coverage were recorded, and no revascularization was required during follow-up. Conclusion: Treatment of CIA aneurysms by overstenting the IIA without preemptive coil embolization is safe and has a low risk of type II endoleak and aneurysm growth.
