A Case of Two Separate Surgical Repairs with Occlusion Balloon Catheter for an Isolated Internal Iliac Artery Aneurysm

Abstract

A 70-year-old man with hemorrhagic shock due to a ruptured left isolated internal iliac artery aneurysm had undergone a coil embolization and an exclusion of the aneurysm. As the aneurysm has postoperatively enlarged in spite of the extra coil occlusion, we electively performed aneurysmorrhaphy via a retroperitoneal approach using an occlusion balloon catheter to control intraoperative bleeding.
