Lombard AorFix Device

Date: Aug 13, 2014

Question:

Physician used a Lombard AorFix device to repair a common iliac aneurysm that extended into the internal iliac artery. Internal iliac was embolized, and the device was placed just below the renal arteries, seated at the aortoiliac bifurcation, with one docking limb extending down the common/external iliac and covering the internal iliac. Reason for device was due to torturous aorta in a patient with multiple surgeries for colitis with a colostomy and a chronic abdominal fistula.
