How serious is a 8cm iliac aneurysm?
8 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Very: Two reasons- it can send clot down the arteries and cause death of the leg resulting in amputation. It also may rupture.

Very Serious: An 8cm iliac artery aneurysm is 8x larger then a normal iliac artery. The risk of rupture at that size is very high.
