Question

Gabriel’s doctors recommend surgery to prevent a rupture of the aneurysm. They recommend an endovascular surgery, which is less invasive than alternative surgeries and has a quicker recovery time.

The procedure involves inserting a catheter with a synthetic graft attached into the femoral artery and threading it up to the damaged region of the aorta, where the graft is expanded and fastened to the inside of the blood vessel. This graft provides support for the weakened vessel wall. Which vessel(s) would the catheter need to pass through to reach the aneurysm in the abdominal aorta? (Can be more than one.)

A.) Internal iliac artery

B.) Renal artery

C.) Common iliac artery

D.) External iliac artery

E.) Thoracic aorta

Explanation / Answer

In the endovascular surgery to prevent aneurysms in the abdominal aorta: in this surgery the catheters are passed through internal iliac arteries, when this aneurysms extend down the common iliac arteries then iliac limb can be extended into the external iliac artery to bypass a common iliac aneurysm.
