Fig 1 Cumulative survival of patients with and without internal iliac artery (IIA) coil embolization. There is no difference between the two groups at 1, 2, 3, and 4 years (log-rank, P = .41).

Fig 2 Freedom from reintervention. There was no difference between the two groups on the incidence of secondary interventions (no embolization [NE]: 18 of 112 patients; coil embolization [CE]: two of 25 patients, P = .301) and freedom from reintervention at 1, 2, 3, and 4 years (log-rank, P = .36).

Fig 3 A 72-year-old male patient with abdominal aortic and left common iliac artery (CIA) aneurysm. Preoperative computed tomography (CT) scan (A-C). He underwent endovascular repair with coverage of the left internal iliac artery (IIA) without coil embolization and preservation of the right IIA. There was no proximal or distal sealing zone at the left CIA. One-month postoperative CT scan shows complete exclusion of the aneurysms without endoleak and left IIA thrombosis (D-F).
