Iliac Aneurysms

Isolated ilaic aneurysms are rare
- most commonly associated with other aneurysms : found in 10-20% of patients with AAA

Difficult to detect clinically
- usually detected late and as a result mortality rates high

Recommendation is to repair iliac aneurysms once they are >3cm in size
- endovaascular options exist
