The authors present in the article a case report of successful use of a balloon-expandable stent graft for endovascular prosthetic reconstruction of an aneurysm of the proximal anastomosis of the iliac-femoral bypass graft by puncture approach through the brachial artery. We implanted a balloon-expandable stent graft measuring 6.0-12.0 mm in diameter and 58-mm long with good immediate and short-term results in the anastomosis with large alteration in the diameter along the length.

KEY WORDS: endovascular prosthetic repair, proximal-anastomosis aneurysm, balloon-expandable stent graft.
