Bilateral Lower Limb Disabling Claudication in a Young Man: A Case of Mönckeberg’s Arteriosclerosis

Khalid Abdelaziz Mowafy, Mosaad Soliman, Ahmed Magdy Hammoda, Reem Mosaad Soliman AbstractMönckeberg’s arteriosclerosis, also called medial calcific sclerosis or Mönckeberg’s sclerosis, is a form of vessel hardening due to increased calcium deposits in the tunica media layer. There is disagreement over its clinical significance and aetiology and its relation to atherosclerosis and vascular calcification. Its […]

Importance of Follow-up Imaging in the Detection of Delayed Type 2 Endoleaks Despite Complete Aneurysmal Sac Shrinkage

Gergana Todorova Taneva, Omid Shafe, Giovanni B Torsello, Arne Schwindt, Jamal Moosavi, Parham Sadeghipour, Konstantinos P Donas AbstractType 2 endoleaks usually constitute a benign and self-limited phenomenon, which rarely leads to aneurysmal sac expansion. However, in a small subset of patients, a persistent type 2 endoleak might pressurise the aneurysmal sac causing expansion. The authors

Alternative Access for Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation: Current Evidence and Future Directions

J J Coughlan, Thomas J Kiernan, Samer Arnous Abstract Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is the usual technique for patients with severe aortic stenosis who are at high risk for surgical aortic valve replacement. The transfemoral (TF) route is the most commonly used access type, and significant progress in this procedure has greatly increased the

Endovascular Aneurysm Repair Using Anaconda Repositionable Aortic Stent Graft Assisted Exclusively by Intravascular Ultrasound Imaging

Gaetano La Barbera, Giuliana La Rosa, Fabrizio Valentino, Gabriele Ferro, Dario Parsaei, Rosario Lipari, Davide Petrucelli, Francesco Talarico Abstract Arteriography with contrast medium (CM) injection is normally employed to visualise the lowest renal artery during endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR). Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) has been proposed as an alternative, real-time imaging diagnostic technique to arteriography. In
