Serious: Must also look for other aneurysms of other iliac and aorta( which has probably been done) current techniques may allow endoluminal stent graft treatment if the anatomy is good. Most are fusiform. Saccular can be from infection as well. See a vascular surgeon soon.

Very Serious: Generally speaking common iliac artery aneurysm are recommended for repair at around 3-3.5 cm, but these are often found in association with other types of aneurysms, such as aortic aneurysms or lower extremity arterial aneurysms. Only a vascular surgeon can take your entire history into account and recommend surgery or observation for now. The fact that it is saccular may be significant.
