Levels of the abdominal aorta and common iliac arteries measurement (Source. -Modified from reference 12).

Background:
Mean aortic and common iliac artery diameters are the best indicators for the diagnosis of aortic and iliac ectasia and aneurysm, as well as the appropriate selection of angiographic catheter size and grafts for endovascular procedures. Currently, there is a lack of evidence regarding the normal abdominal aortic and common iliac artery...

... CT scan findings were documented using a structured checklist later from the picture archiving and communication software by the investigators. Individual studies that fulfilled the inclusion criteria were reviewed from the PACS and the measurements of the abdominal aorta and bilateral common iliac arteries were taken from four distinct points: the aortic hiatus, midlevel between the SMA and renal artery, midlevel between the lower renal artery and aortic bifurcation, and midlevel between the aortic bifurcation and the origin of the internal iliac artery, as depicted in Figure 1 and documented in the questionnaire. The dependent variables are anteroposterior and transverse diameters of the abdominal aorta at the aortic hiatus, supra, and infrarenal levels, and anteroposterior and transverse diameters of bilateral common iliac arteries. ...

Isolated iliac artery aneurysms are extremely rare, accounting for less than 2% of all aneurysmal diseases. These aneurysms are usually seen in older men. Very mildly symptomatic but carries a significant risk of rupture when the aneurysms have reached a large size. Their operative mortality is significantly higher when undertaken as an urgent or e...
Introduction: Low concentration of free testosterone and low serum testosterone levels are associated in males patients with metabolic syndrome and cardiovascular disease and in some cases in connection with critic iliac stenosis and also in most cases with lack of physical activity.

The present study was conducted to create reference values of common iliac arteries (CIA) for the diagnosis of vascular diseases such as aneurysm and atherosclerosis and to contribute to preoperative evaluation and the literature for open or endovascular interventions. Abdominal computed tomography angiography (CTA) images of 299 (156 F, 143 M) patients which were taken for various reasons at Gaziantep University Faculty of Medicine Hospital between 2015 and 2023 and which met the criteria were selected. The mean age of the patients included in the study was 49.85±18.74 years. Diameter measurements were made on two-dimensional images, while length and angle measurements were made on three-dimensional images. As a result of the analysis, the mean right CIA (RCIA) anteroposterior diameter was 1.12±0.66 cm and the mean transverse diameter was 1.21±0.74 cm; while the mean left CIA (LCIA) value was 1.12±0.68 cm in the anteroposterior axis and 1.13±0.73 cm in the transverse axis. In terms of length measurements, the mean right common iliac artery (RCIA) was found as 5.63±1.61 cm and the mean LCIA was found as 6.19±1.65 cm; in angle measurements of right and left CIA with the abdominal aorta (AA), mean RCIA was found as 23.3±9.84° and mean LCIA was found as 19.66±9.18°. While a significant difference was found between genders in terms of diameter values (p<0.05), no difference was found in length and angle values (p>0.05). In terms of correlations with age, correlation was found in diameter values of both sides and RCIA angle. It is thought that morphometric measurements of the common iliac arteries will contribute to interventional radiologists, vascular surgeons and the literature.
