Three Cases of Extensive Aortoiliac Occlusive Disease (AIOD) with Aorto-Uni-Iliac (AUI) Stent-Grafting with Femoro-Femoral Crossover Bypass / 日本心臓血管外科学会雑誌

Aortoiliac occlusive disease (AIOD) can be difficult to treat. We performed aorto-uni-iliac (AUI) stent-grafting with external-iliac artery crossover bypass in 3 cases of extensive AIOD (mean age 69 years). Lesions were TASC II type D in 2 and D+A in 1. Mean ankle-brachial index of diseased side was 0.52. Bare stent placement for iliac stenosis was also done in 2 cases. All cases were a technical success with no complications. Mean operation time was 123 min and mean hospital stay was 11 days. We have been keeping good patency. We consider it an effective treatment option for AIOD.
