Iliac branch devices (IBDs) are undergoing rapid popularization. They allow for treatment of an iliac aneurysm while preserving blood flow to the hypogastric artery. Certain anatomic criteria are necessary for the use of an iliac side branch device to be technically feasible. Custom-made fenestrated iliac stent grafts may provide an alternative when anatomic criteria for an IBD are not met.
