ABSTRACT
Successful endovascular aortic repair is highly dependent on the quality of the iliac access vessels. Patients with poor access vessels can be turned down from endovascular aortic repair or thoracic endovascular aortic repair by the treating physician. Perioperative complications such as failure to deliver the device or iliac rupture can be addressed to improper access vessels. In this article, we describe a novel technique to access the common iliac artery when access vessels are poor in diameter or quality. This sutureless conduit-free access technique can be used in TEVAR or EVAR and requires less surgical exposure of the iliac arteries.
