Isolated iliac artery aneurysms are less common than other large-vessel aneurysms, and most are detected together with a concomitant abdominal aortic aneurysm. It shares the same atherosclerotic-degenerative etiology since its risk factors are the same as for other aneurysms. They are generally asymptomatic, being detected incidentally and when they are symptomatic, they are related to the compression of adjacent structures and the rupture of the aneurysm. Common iliac artery aneurysms are the most common, followed by internal and then external iliac aneurysms. Currently, a variety of open, endovascular, and hybrid surgical options exist to treat iliac artery aneurysms. The anatomy of the common iliac artery with respect to the proximal and distal neck, the involvement of the iliac bifurcation, and the choice to preserve the ipsilateral internal iliac artery all play a role in the decision process towards the preferred method of treatment.
