BD is rare in Western countries and the southern hemisphere and is mainly seen in countries along the Silk Road such as the Middle East and Mediterranean regions including Iran.

Endovascular stent graft used for patients and we discussed open vs. endovascular treatment for BD aneurysms in the discussion. |
