Erin Saricilar, Raleene Gatmaitan, Kiraati Patel, Mark Yang Abstract Atherosclerotic disease significantly impacts patients with type 2 diabetes, who often present with recalcitrant peripheral ulcers. The angiosome model of the foot presents an opportunity to perform direct angiosome-targeted endovascular interventions to maximise both wound healing and limb salvage. A systematic review was performed, with 17 […]

Yasaman Kavousi, Caitlin W Hicks Abstract Current guidelines dictate emergency repair for an acute complicated type B aortic dissection (TBAD). Surgical approaches for the treatment of acute complicated TBAD can be divided into open and endovascular. The endovascular approach is further divided into central aortic repair and alternative endovascular techniques. Central repair includes endoluminal aortic

Louis Rucker, Audrey Muck, Mark Broering, Patrick Muck Abstract Venous stenting was introduced in the 1990s and has continued to evolve to become the first-line therapy for symptomatic iliofemoral venous outflow pathology. There are several dedicated venous stents available in addition to Boston Scientific’s Wallstent and Cook’s Z-Stent. Numerous studies from tertiary referral centres, as

Stefano Fazzini, Valerio Turriziani, Federico Francisco Pennetta, Simona Vona, Fabio Massimo Oddi, Andrea Ascoli Marchetti, Konstantinos P Donas, Arnaldo Ippoliti Abstract The use of chimney technique in endovascular repair of abdominal aortic aneurysms (ChEVAR) has had a secondary role. Although it was first developed in an emergent/urgent setting, the publication of various important studies has

Robert S Zilinyi, Marissa Alsaloum, Aishwarya Raja, Matthew Finn, Sanjum S Sethi, Sahil Parikh Abstract Below-the-knee (BTK) peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is a significant source of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Patients with chronic limbthreatening ischaemia in BTK PAD represent one of the highest-risk cohorts of PAD patients, with little progress having been made regarding long-term

Rosemary Denning Ho, Vivek Shrivastava, Amir Mokhtari, Raghuram Lakshminarayan Abstract Renal injuries are the most common urinary tract injury secondary to external abdominal trauma. They are caused by blunt, penetrating and iatrogenic mechanisms. Despite the high number of blunt renal injuries, little evidence is available to guide management, especially with the evolution of embolisation as

Ceazón T Edwards, Peter A Schneider, Cindy Huynh Abstract The role of paclitaxel in the treatment of femoropopliteal peripheral arterial disease is currently ambiguous. A summary-level meta-analysis of randomised trials published in 2018 demonstrated that paclitaxel-coated devices were associated with an increased all-cause mortality in those who underwent treatment at 2 years and 5 years.

Masayuki Mori, Atsushi Sakamoto, Rika Kawakam, Yu Sato, Hiroyuki Jinnouchi, Kenji Kawai, Anne Cornelissen, Renu Virmani, Aloke V Finn Abstract Drug-coated balloons (DCBs) have become an established therapy for the treatment of above-the-knee peripheral artery disease. The paclitaxel DCB has shown clinical benefit in terms of patency and freedom from re-intervention in multiple randomised trials.
