The influence of Internal iliac artery occlusion after endovascular abdominal aneurysm repair on buttock claudication and erectile dysfunction: a matched case-control study.

CONCLUSIONS: In conclusion, intentional occlusion of the IIA increased the incidence of short- and long-term BC but did not affect the prevalence of erectile dysfunction. The impact of IIA occlusion on VascuQoL and WIQ scores was limited and probably not clinically relevant. PMID: 31140264 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
