Aorto Iliac Lesions Primary and secondary cumulative patency rates at 36 months were % and 97.7%, respectively. Balloon-expandable stents had a non-significant trend towards higher patency rates compared to self- expanding stents. J Endovasc Ther Jun;9(3):363-8
4
How do you make a diseased iliac artery as normal as possible?
5
Benefits of Self-Expandable: Distal External Iliac Lesions
Flexibility and long lengths, 6 Fr compatible
6
Iliac Stent Tips: Watch Out for Pseudolesions From Vessel Kinking
Real Lesion Fake Stiff guidewire causing pseudolesions Easy to lose track which is the true lesion Left common iliac stented When in doubt, put soft catheter in and inject
7
Iliac stent options Balloon expandable stents Self-expanding stents
Precise placement, approach ipsilateral Best for Common iliac and aortic bifurcation lesions. Excellent radial strength Often need 7 Fr sheath Self-expanding stents Best for long lesions, ectasia, external iliacs. Can approach ipsi- or contra-lateral Can place a 10mm stent in a 6 Fr sheath or 5Fr (Cook) Covered stents Best for ISR, ectasia or perforation. Requires larger 7-10 Fr sheaths.

Iliac case 54 year old smoker with HTN and dyslipidemia
Bilateral leg weakness and claudication for 4 mon LE Arterial Duplex suggests severe bilateral inflow disease with minimal SFA-pop disease and 3 vessel runoff ABIs: right .41 and left .53 No CLI No rest pain

Options Send for aorto-bifemoral bypass
PTA and Stent left common iliac and send for fem-fem jump graft Attempt to recanalize right iliac and perform bilateral iliac stenting Considerations: Age, functional status, durability, calcium, technical difficulty, patient’s preference

Details 6 Fr 22cm Cordis Britetip sheath in right CFA .035” QuickCross
.035” Glidewire Sub-intimal to distal aorta Options?
14
Details - 2 Advanced .035” Glidewire through Omniflush diag catheter
Pulled right sheath back to ext iliac Advanced wire into sheath Externalized wire
15
Details - 3 Advanced 5.0 x 60mm Fox Plus balloon up R sheath without difficulty and into left ext iliac Pulled wire from L groin and advanced .0035” J wire thru balloon via right groin Advanced a new .035” J wire up L sheath to aorta
16
Details - 4 Dilate right common iliac with 5 x 60mm Fox Plus balloon
What next? Stent BE or SE
17
Details - 5 Deploy 7 x 59 mm Cordis Genesis stent in R common iliac
Protect left common iliac with 7 x 40 mm Fox Plus balloon using kissing inflation
19
7 x 60 mm Absolute Pro in R EIA and dilate with 6 x 60 Fox Plus balloon to 10 atm

Iliac case: follow-up Seen in clinic 7 months out
Quit smoking and gained 10 lb. Only 5’3’‘ and 136 lb. No claudication, occ nocturnal leg cramps Six month LE arterial Duplex notes ABIs of: Right .91, left .92.
