Objectives We hereby report our experience of ROIC in patients subjected to EVAR.  Methods This was a retrospective evaluation of 8 patients out of a total of 75 patients (11%) who underwent EVAR in the last 10 years. Pre-procedure computed tomography angiography was used to assess the dimensions of iliac and femoral arteries. Patients who had small arterial dimensions (i.e. smaller than the recommended access size for the aortic endograft device) were subjected to ROIC.  Results The mean age of the 3 males and 5 females studied was 45.7 \u00b1 15.2 years. The indication for ROIC was the small caliber ilio-femoral access site in 7 patients and atherosclerotic disease in 1 patient. All external grafts were anastomosed to the right common iliac artery except one which was anastomosed to the aortic bifurcation site because of a small common iliac artery. The procedural success rate was 100%. Local access site complications included infection (n=1), retroperitoneal hematoma (n=1), and need for blood transfusion (n=3). The median post-intervention hospital stay was 10 days. All patients had favorable long-term outcomes at a median follow-up of 18 months.  Conclusions Female patients require ROIC during EVAR more frequently. Adjunctive use of iliac conduit for EVAR was associated with favorable perioperative and short-term outcomes.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1590\/1677-5449.210033","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,9,10]],"date-time":"2021-09-10T12:08:29Z","timestamp":1631275709000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Retroperitoneal iliac conduits as an alternative access site for endovascular aortic repair: a tertiary care center experience"],"prefix":"10.1590","volume":"20","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5250-4735","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Rajesh","family":"Vijayvergiya","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Post Graduate Institute of Medical Education & Research,  India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7596-4662","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Lipi","family":"Uppal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Post Graduate Institute of Medical Education & Research,  India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ganesh","family":"Kasinadhuni","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Post Graduate Institute of Medical Education & Research,  India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Prafull","family":"Sharma","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Post Graduate Institute of Medical Education & Research,  India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ashish","family":"Sharma","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Post Graduate Institute of Medical Education & Research,  India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7801-0012","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ajay","family":"Savlania","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Post Graduate Institute of Medical Education & Research,  India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Anupam","family":"Lal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Post Graduate Institute of Medical Education & Research,  India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"530","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021]]},"reference":[{"issue":"4","key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"603","DOI":"10.1097\/SLA.0b013e3181f4eaef","article-title":"Management of diseases of the descending thoracic aorta in the endovascular era: a Medicare population study","volume":"252","author":"Conrad MF","year":"2010","journal-title":"Ann Surg"},{"issue":"41","key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2873","DOI":"10.1093\/eurheartj\/ehu281","article-title":"2014 ESC Guidelines on the diagnosis and treatment of aortic diseases: Document covering acute and chronic aortic diseases of the thoracic and abdominal aorta of the adult.
