Operations were performed on 5 patients with isolated atherosclerotic aneurysms of the iliac arteries, who accounted for 10.9% of patients with aneurysms of vessels treated at the Vascular Department of the Novgorod Regional Hospital from 1983 to 1990. In 4 patients the aneurysm of the iliac artery was an operative finding, in one patient it was found only on postmortem examination. The diagnostic errors and causes of a fatal outcome in 2 patients are discussed. The authors claim resection of the aneurysm with reconstruction of the aorto-ilio-femoral segment to be the operation of choice in aneurysm of the iliac artery.
