ABSTRACT About 20% of patients with abdominal aortic aneurysms have associated iliac aneurysms. Distal sealing during the endovascular treatment of aortic-iliac aneurysms is a challenge that has led to the emergence of several technical options to achieve this goal over the years. Internal iliac artery embolization is associated with the risk of ischemic complications, such as gluteal necrosis, lower limb neurological deficit, colonic ischemia, impotence and gluteal claudication. This article summarizes the technical options for endovascular treatment of aortoiliac aneurysms with different approaches to preserving the patency of internal iliac arteries.

The purpose of this report is to describe the endovascular exclusion of an internal iliac artery (IIA) aneurysm in emergency setting, long after abdominal aortic aneurysm surgical repair. An 85-year-old male presented with a contained rupture of a huge IIA aneurysm, ten years after aortoiliac bifurcated grafting. Because of poor clinical conditions an emergency endovascular treatment was planned. A stent-graft was positioned from the proximal right branch of the bifurcated surgical prosthesis to the distal external iliac artery, covering the hypogastric aneurysm neck. One month after the procedure, CT scan demonstrated the complete exclusion of the aneurysm. Endovascular treatment of IIA aneurysms is an excellent option to reduce perioperative morbidity and mortality in high risk patients, particularly in an emergency setting.

This study aimed to investigate the effect of internal iliac artery embolization combined with arterial infusion chemotherapy on serum VEGF, HGF and IL-6 in advanced cervical cancer. A total of 120 cases of patients with advanced cervical cancer and admitted to Binzhou Center Hospital from January 2014 to March 2016 were selected as research subjects. Among them, 59 patients received arterial infusion chemotherapy were enrolled in the control group, and 61 patients received arterial infusion chemotherapy combined with internal iliac artery embolization were included in the observation group. Treatment efficacy, serum VEGF, HGF and IL-6 expression, KPS score and QOL score, incidence of adverse reactions and 3-year survival rate of the two groups were recorded and compared. The result showed that the therapeutic effect of the observation group was significantly higher than that of the control group (P<0.05). The expression of serum VEGF, HGF and IL-6, KPS score and QOL score in the two groups were significantly improved after treatment, with more significant improvement in the observation group (P<0.05). There were no significant differences in the incidence of adverse reactions between the two groups (P>0.05). And the 3-year survival rate of the observation group was significantly higher than that of the control group (P<0.05). In conclusion, arterial infusion chemotherapy combined with internal iliac artery embolization has a better effect than arterial infusion chemotherapy alone in treating patients with advanced cervical cancer. It can effectively prolong the survival of patients, along with good safety, which is worthy of clinical promotion
