This series describes an innovative technique to deploy iliac branched endoprostheses (IBEs) in patients with preexisting endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR). It demonstrates an alternative approach that may be preferred when brachial access is anatomically challenging or when access site complications are of concern. We detail a technique that uses transfemoral access to bring IBE device components up and over an infrarenal endograft bifurcation and into proper position. This series suggests that endovascular specialists should consider the advantages and disadvantages of a transfemoral approach when selecting the best method of repairing a patient's iliac artery aneurysm after prior EVAR.
