An iliac aneurysm is bulging and weakness in the wall of the iliac artery, a group of arteries located in the pelvis. Iliac aneurysms can burst, which can cause life-threatening, uncontrolled bleeding. Causes of iliac aneurysms include: Atherosclerosis. Infections.
Both common iliac arteries branch from the base of the aorta. This part of the aorta is called the abdominal aorta because it's in your belly. The common iliac arteries begin around the midsection or belly button region.
Definition. Iliac artery aneurysm (IAA) is defined as a dilatation of the iliac artery of 1.5-fold the normal diameter. Thus, a common iliac artery (CIA)>18 mm in men and >15 mm in women, and an internal iliac artery (IIA) >8 mm is considered aneurysmal [1,2].
Isolated iliac artery aneurysm are uncommon, accounting for <2% of abdominal aneurysms.
Repair of aneurysms exceeding 3.0 cm to 3.5 cm in diameter is recommended to prevent the risk of rupture. Rupture of common iliac artery aneurysms is associated with a risk of mortality approaching 70% (1–3).
The abdominal aorta divides into the common iliac arteries. The two branches of the common iliac arteries are the internal iliac artery, supplying the pelvic area, and the external iliac, which supplies the lower limb (Figure 5-52). The internal iliac artery supplies the caudal thigh via the caudal gluteal artery.
It has three major branches: inferior epigastric, deep circumflex iliac and femoral arteries.

It originates from the aortic bifurcation at the level of the 4th lumbar vertebra....Common iliac arteryVolume rendered CT scan of abdominal and pelvic blood vessels.DetailsSourceabdominal aortaBranchesexternal iliac internal iliac8 more rows
Considering the threshold for AAA, approximately 3 cm has conventionally been the threshold for surgical intervention. In our department, we have decided that iliac aneurysms > 3 cm in diameter are indicated for surgery without any convincing evidence.
Background: Iliac artery aneurysms have traditionally been treated by direct surgical reconstruction. Endovascular stent grafts have been developed to provide an effective but less invasive treatment option for patients with peripheral arterial aneurysms.
Pseudoaneurysm of internal iliac artery is even more rare in incidence. Pseudoaneurysm means a localised hematoma, differing from a true aneurysm which involves all layers of vessel wall. Usually, they are asymptomatic with incidental detection on imaging for other causes.
An aneurysm or aneurism (from Greek: ἀνεύρυσμα, aneurysma, "dilation", from ἀνευρύνειν, aneurynein, "to dilate") is a localized, blood-filled balloon-like bulge in the wall of a blood vessel.
