Abstract

Intraoperative positioning system (IOPS; Centerline Biomedical, Inc) is a novel technology that allows for real-time intravascular navigation of endovascular devices using an electromagnetic field. In this report, we describe the use of IOPS for effective treatment of bilateral common iliac artery aneurysms with endovascular aortoiliac repair using iliac branch endoprostheses. Our experience suggests that this technology has the potential to reduce radiation and contrast use in endovascular procedures, although its application is currently limited. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported case of bilateral internal iliac cannulations for iliac branch endoprosthesis placement using IOPS.
