Abstract

Common iliac artery aneurysms are rare vascular lesions that may lead to severe complications such as arteriovenous fistulization. We report the case of a patient investigated for stage II peripheral arterial disease of the right lower limb. CT angiography revealed a partially thrombosed aneurysm of the right common iliac artery complicated by fistulization into the ipsilateral common iliac vein, associated with diffuse bilateral atherosclerotic occlusive disease. This case highlights the importance of CT angiography in diagnosing aneurysmal vascular complications and evaluating associated peripheral arterial disease.
