Recent developments have extended the indications for endovascular intervention to include endovascular lesions, such as aneurysms and sclerotic arterioocclusive disease. Although conventioal treatment of pseudoaneurysms is mainly surgical intervention, the development of stent grafts has made this treatment less invasive than previously. We placed a stent graft in a pseudoaneurysm of the iliac artery with good results, as described in this report. Treatment of a pseudoaneurysm with a stent graft avoids the risk associated with general anesthesia and reduces surgical invasiveness, similar to laparotomy. We expect that this therapeutic mode will be developed further in the future.
