Clinical outcomes after internal iliac artery embolization prior to endovascular aortic aneurysm repair.

CONCLUSIONS: Based on our experience, IIA embolization does cause buttock claudication of a certain degree. However, the most of them experienced mild discomfort rather than such symptoms severely affect their quality of life. Considering the risks of general anesthesia and complications of surgical procedures, IIA reconstruction along with EVAR may not be necessary. PMID: 32214071 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
