Results of hybrid procedures for treatment of aortoiliac Trans-Atlantic Inter-Society Consensus II D lesions with self-expanding covered heparin-bonded stent grafts.
CONCLUSIONS: A hybrid procedure with the use of a Viabahn stent in severe aortoiliac pathologies showed good patency results in this selected patient group. Therefore, it should be considered a feasible alternative to aortoiliac bypass surgery in surgical high risk patients.
