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 […]
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
Kerbi Alejandro Guevara-Noriega, Albert Martinez Toiran, Bruno Alvarez-Concejo, Jose Luis Pomar Abstract There is a mix of therapeutic options for revascularisation in vascular surgery. The authors performed a literature review on the evolution of vascular allograft transplantation and its use and acceptance by vascular surgeons. This review exposed three stages: the first stage involved preliminary

Andre Ramdon, R Clement Darling III Abstract Aortic dissections are catastrophic vascular emergencies, and early recognition and appropriate interventions can be crucial to survival. Research has changed the way aortic dissections are managed over the past two decades and will continue to contribute to the evolution of treatment modalities. Early treatment for uncomplicated type B

Edward Y Woo, Joshua Dearing Abstract Stroke is one of the leading causes of death in the world and carotid artery stenosis is a major cause of ischaemic strokes. Symptomatic patients are often treated with either carotid endarterectomy (CEA) or carotid artery stenting (CAS). Asymptomatic patients can be treated with best medical therapy, CEA or

Yongcheng Xu, Yukun Li Abstract Issues related to the superior mesenteric artery (SMA) in fenestrated endovascular aortic aneurysm repair (f-EVAR), such as misalignment of the endograft and bridging devices-associated complications, are rarely reported. Moreover, the absence of autopsies in the majority of patients who died in the published series makes a possible correlation with occlusion
Grigorios Korosoglou, Sorin Giusca, Martin Andrassy, Michael Lichtenberg Abstract An ageing population and the increasing prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors have aggravated the burden of peripheral artery disease (PAD). Despite advances in the pharmacological treatment of atherosclerosis, many patients with symptomatic PAD require invasive procedures to reduce the symptoms of claudication, salvage tissue and prevent
Gergana Todorova Taneva, Georgios Karaolanis, Marco Pipitone, Giovanni Torsello, Konstantinos P Donas Abstract This article demonstrates a less-invasive combined surgical and endovascular alternative approach in a case in which an excessive thrombotic formation in the infrarenal aorta caused occlusion of the iliac artery and the ipsilateral crural arteries. A 51-year-old man was admitted to the
Gergana Todorova Taneva, Giovanni Torsello, Konstantinos P Donas AbstractThe pErformance of iLiac branch deVIces for aneurysmS (pELVIS) Registry is the largest retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data on the use of iliac branch devices (IBD) for the treatment of iliac and aortoiliac aneurysms. It shows the feasibility of the technique with good short- and mid-term
