Table 2 Treatment outcomes.
| Outcome | Number of patients | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Perioperative death | 0 | |
| Iliac graft limb and iliac branch occlusion | 1 | Detected at the end of the procedure. Recanalization attempts failed, necessitating a femoro-femoral crossover bypass graft |
| Aneurysm exclusion and hypogastric branch patency | 11 | Postoperative CT scans confirmed good exclusion of aneurysms and patency of the hypogastric branch |
| Type II endoleak form lumbar arteries | 4 | Detected via CT scan, resolved spontaneously during follow-up. Demonstrated by echo-enhanced duplex ultrasound scanning at 6 and 12 months |
| Femoro-femoral bypass graft patient complication | 1 | Reported erectile dysfunction and mild buttock claudication 30 days after discharge |
