The treatment of internal iliac artery aneurysms is aimed at the prevention of rupture. Traditionally, this is undertaken surgically; however, endovascular techniques are an acceptable alternative and these techniques are also not without complication. Herein, the authors describe the endovascular treatment of two patients with internal iliac aneurysms. Although the treatments were initially successful, both patients presented with ureteric obstruction and hydronephrosis 2 months later.
