  VI. The Arteries. 5b. 2. The External Iliac Artery. Gray, Henry. 1918. Anatomy of the Human Body.
—In front and medially, the artery is in relation with the peritoneum, subperitoneal areolar tissue, the termination of the ileum and frequently the vermiform process on the right side, and the sigmoid colon on the left, and a thin layer of fascia, derived from the iliac fascia, which surrounds the artery and vein.
As the inferior epigastric artery passes obliquely upward from its origin it lies along the lower and medial margins of the abdominal inguinal ring, and behind the commencement of the spermatic cord.
It frequently springs from the external iliac, by a common trunk with the obturator.

For isolated iliac aneurysm, a proximal segment of relatively normal iliac artery is required for implantation and attachment of the proximal part of the graft; this proximal implant area or attachment zone should be at least 10mm in length and free of mural thrombus.
Severe angulation or tortuosity of the iliac segment and firm calcification of the arterial wall are negative factors that may lead to failure of the procedure.

Hematoma or hemorrhage in the midline supramesocolic area of zone 1 is cause to suspect the presence of an injury to the supra renal aorta, the celiac axis, the proximal superior mesenteric artery, or the proximal renal artery.
Interposition grafting and replacement of the renal artery with either the hepatic artery (on the right) or the splenic artery (on the left) have been used on rare occasions, but such approaches ordinarily are not indicated unless the injured kidney is the only one the patient has.
On rare occasions, it may be preferable either to mobilize the ipsilateral internal iliac artery to serve as a replacement for the external iliac artery or to transpose one iliac artery to the side of the contralateral iliac artery.
