Abstract

Buttock claudication (BC) is a complication of surgery for aorto-iliac aneurysms (AIAs) caused by sacrificing blood flow in the internal iliac artery (IIA). However, the preservation of antegrade blood flow of IIAs is often challenging when performing both open surgery and endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) for AIAs accompanied by IIA aneurysms. We performed EVAR and successfully preserved the antegrade blood flow of bilateral superior gluteal arteries using the GORE EXCLUDER iliac branch endoprosthesis with the VIABAHN endograft. BC did not occur, both subjectively and objectively, after surgery. This approach can be minimally invasive yet an effective procedure to prevent BC.
