Fig 2 A, Completion digital subtraction angiogram demonstrating endovascular exclusion of the abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) and flow into the external iliac artery after placement of aorto-uni-iliac (AUI) device. Arrow indicates superior mesenteric artery (SMA). B, Digital subtraction angiogram performed via retrograde injection from a left femoral arterial sheath demonstrating effective occlusion of the left common iliac artery via the occluder device, and patency of the left hypogastric artery.
