2002) who underwent aorto-uniiliac stent graft and crossover femoral-femoral graft [1]. They observed local wound complications in 11% of patients. In their series, 5-year patency of the fem­oral-femoral bypass graft was 83%. They con­cluded that when graft occlusion occurs, it is due to inadequate inow stenosis from the stent graft or damage to the intima of the external iliac artery.

History andPhysical Examination
An 81-year-old male with history of signicant chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (second­ary to nicotine abuse), chronic lymphocytic leu­kemia, and hypertension had a known abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) which was followed by ultrasound of the abdomen and pelvis for six months. On June 10, 2009, patient underwent CTA of the abdomen and pelvis which showed
7.4 × 7.2 cm infrarenal AAA with >60° aortic neck angulation. Right common iliac artery aneu­rysm measured 4×3.9cm, and left common iliac aneurysm measured 4.8×4.3cm, with a fusiform dilatation of the left hypogastric artery
3.1×3.3cm (Fig.66.1). In addition, enlarged ret­roperitoneal lymph nodes as well as lymph nodes
in the mesentery probably related to chronic lym­phocytic leukemia were seen.

Procedure

On June 20, 2019, patient underwent successful coil embolization of the left hypogastric artery aneurysm via a left femoral artery approach. A 5F Cobra (C2) catheter was used to engage the left hypogastric artery. Microcatheter access to superior gluteal artery was obtained, and coil embolization was performed. The same micro­catheter was used to engage the anterior branches of the left hypogastric artery. Coil embolization of the anterior branches and the hypogastric aneurysm was achieved. All the feeding branches

Because of the severe angulation of the aortic
neck and large bilateral iliac aneurysms, gate capture from the retrograde femoral approach became difcult. After multiple unsuccessful attempts, gate was captured via a left brachial artery approach and snared from the main body of the iliac branch device using e-snare. A hypo­gastric limb of 14 × 70 mm was deployed fol­lowed by deployment of a bridge stent 27× 120mm. Following balloon angioplasty of

re-intervention >80% with symptoms of claudi­cation in a very small number of cases. Although symptoms of intermittent claudication were not a major concern in this elderly patient with fairly advanced chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, maintaining patency of one hypogas­tric artery was important as contralateral hypo­gastric artery occlusion has to be performed for hypogastric artery aneurysm and deploying the graft in the left external iliac artery. The main­tenance of hypogastric artery perfusion helps in preventing the symptoms of pelvic ischemia. In this patient careful follow-up with imaging (CTA and abdominal aortic ultrasound) will be important as aortic neck angulation may lead to Type 1A endoleak at longer follow-up.

History andPhysical Examination
A 65-year-old female underwent endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) for a 5.5 cm (trans­verse/ap diameter) infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) using AneuRx graft in October 2009 (Fig. 67.1). Main body of the graft was deployed from the right side 28×16×165mm, contralateral limb 16×16×115 mm, and right iliac extension limbs 16×16×85mm, in addi-

tion a left iliac extension limb 16×16×85mm as well. Medical comorbidities included chronic obstructive pulmonary disease secondary to nico­tine abuse (80 pack years). She also had evidence of lower extremity arterial occlusive disease with slightly diminished bilateral femoral pulses. Popliteal posterior tibial and dorsalis pedis pulses were absent, and ankle brachial index was 0.6 on the right and 0.5 on the left due to bilateral super­cial femoral artery occlusive disease. Past surgi­cal history included left carotid endarterectomy. Follow-up CTA of the abdomen and pelvis and abdominal duplex ultrasound showed no evi­dence of endoleak and gradual diminishing in size of the aneurysm sac. During follow-up (2014), the ankle brachial index on the right side decreased to 0.46 and on the left side to 0.42. CTA of the abdomen and pelvis (July 2015) showed successful exclusion of the AAA with patent bilateral renal arteries; however there was evidence of stenosis at the distal end of the left common iliac stent graft, and there was evidence of diffuse narrowing of the left external iliac artery (Fig. 67.2). Patient refused any further intervention for arterial occlusive disease. In July 2018, patient was seen in the outpatient clinic with ischemic rest pain and dry gangrene of the tip of the left big toe. She underwent CTA (Fig.67.3) and abdominal aortography with run­off which showed occlusion of the left limb of the aortobifemoral graft which had been performed 8 years and 8 months previously.

artery. Patient was discharged on the sixth post­operative day (September 21, 2018).
Patient was seen in the clinic with a decrease
in the ankle brachial index on the right side of
0.23 and increase in the ankle brachial index of
0.66 on the left. Just prior to performance of
crossover femoral-femoral graft, the ankle bra­chial index on the right side was 0.34 and on the left 0.22. It was presumed that because of the right lower extremity arterial occlusive disease, there was some element of steal syndrome fol­lowing femoral-femoral reconstruction. Gangrenous changes in the left big toe healed in subsequent 4–6 weeks.
Follow-up aortogram on October 3, 2018, for
ischemic rest pain on the right foot showed that the crossover graft was patent and there was ste­nosis at the origin of right deep femoral artery. In addition, there was poor visualization of right supercial femoral artery with probable signi­cant occlusive disease (Fig. 67.4). However, patient’s ischemic symptoms continued to improve, and in March 2019, ankle brachial index on the right side increased to 0.33, and on the left side, it decreased to 0.48. Patient had non­invasive Doppler arterial study on November 11, 2019, which showed ankle brachial index on the right 0.49 and on the left 0.59.

Procedure

A crossover femoral-femoral graft (8 mm INTERING® W.L.Gore, Newark, DE) was per­formed along with a bovine pericardial patch which was sutured to the common femoral and proximal supercial femoral artery, and the ori­gin of the crossover femoral-femoral graft was through an incision in the patch and the common femoral artery. In addition, patient underwent limited endarterectomy of the common femoral

Discussion

Iliac limb occlusion occurred in 5–6% undergo­ing EVAR from a meta-analysis of 13 studies comprising 5454 patients [1]. These patients underwent EVAR from 1995 to 2014 with one half of the patients presented within 3 days of EVAR [1]. Martas etal. reported 18 limb occlu­sions (4.1%) among 439 patients treated with EVAR from 2010 to 2013 [2]. They observed that presence of signicant angulation and calcica­tion of the iliac arteries as well as excessive limb oversizing appears to be important predictors of graft limb occlusion [2].

Postmarket Registry (ENGAGE). The strongest independent predictors for limb occlusion were distal landing zone in the external iliac artery, external iliac artery diameter of <10 mm, and kinking of the external iliac artery [3]. Nicholson et al. measured inow resistance by placing a Doppler probe in the donor femoral artery and recording simultaneous blood pressure from the brachial artery and donor common femoral artery [4]. The development of donor limb isch­emia as occurred in this patient postoperatively may not be due to steal syndrome. The amelio­ration of symptoms in the left lower extremity may unmask less severe arterial insufciency in the contralateral leg, or it may be due to clamp injury or anastomotic stenosis at the donor fem­oral site [4]. Like many patients with femoral artery occlusive disease, signicant improve-
ment occurs due to development of collateral circulation.
