The E-liac stent graft system was implanted for the treatment of iliac artery aneurysms in 295 patients across 30 European centres between September 2018 and September 2023, with 236 patients also treated for a concomitant infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm.

Technical success was defined as successful access and deployment of the stent graft without surgical conversion, death, type I or III endoleak, or graft limb occlusion, assessed at discharge or 30 days.
