Is a dilated iliac artery 1.8 cm related in anyway to my ascending aortic aneurysm 4.75? i have both.

Yes: Same process - the usual cause is atherosclerosis although there are rarer genetic causes too.

Yes: They are part of the same process -- if you end up having the aortic aneurysm repaired, it is likely that your vascular surgeon will also fix the iliac aneurysm at the same time.
