To sum up experience in unibody bifurcation stent graft in the treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysm with aortic bifurcation stenosis. Clinical data of 19 cases of abdominal aortic aneurysm and aortic bifurcation stenosis received endovascular treatment using unibody bifurcation stent graft in Zhejiang Provincial People's Hospital during March 2009 and March 2018 were collected. The clinical characteristics, surgery procedure and follow-up results were reviewed. Stent graft was successful in all patients, and the average operation time was (70.0±2.3) min. Leakage was found in 3 patients, in which 2 patients with type Ⅰ leakage and 1 patient with type Ⅱ leakage. All leakage disappeared 15 days after surgery. The 19 cases were followed-up for 9-48 months with the median follow-up time of 27 months, and no displacement, leakage and lower limb ischemia was observed. Unibody bifurcation stent graft is of satisfactory long-term effect for patients with abdominal aortic aneurysm and aortic bifurcation stenosis, and
