Zusammenfassung:Abstract Introduction Due to their anatomic location, internal iliac artery aneurysms are difficult to treat surgically. An endovascular approach can be helpful, even in ruptured cases. Report We report a 71-year-old male with ruptured isolated bilateral internal iliac artery aneurysms. The aneurysms were treated with embolisation of the branching arteries of the bilateral internal iliac arteries followed by placement of a stent graft covering the orifice of the bilateral internal iliac arteries. The patient tolerated this procedure well. Discussion Even in patients with ruptured aneurysms, endovascular treatment for internal iliac artery aneurysms can be a good treatment option.
