Not every iliac artery aneurysm requires immediate intervention. When the aneurysm diameter remains below the established threshold for repair, a structured conservative strategy — aligned with guidelines for abdominal aortic aneurysm — determines clinical management.
Iliac artery aneurysm with diameter below the threshold for repair (< 40 mm). Intervention is not yet indicated; management focuses on best medical treatment following the same evidence base used for abdominal aortic aneurysm.
The protocol centres on cardiovascular risk factor management. Specific pharmacological and lifestyle measures — drawn from abdominal aortic aneurysm recommendations — are indicated; the full sequence and criteria are detailed in the complete protocol.
