Fabrizio Fanelli, Alessandro Cannavale Abstract Peripheral arterial disease is a severe pathology. Several methods have been tested in order to increase the patency rate and the quality of life. The superficial femoral artery is considered a very difficult region due to the continuous movement of the leg that modify the length and the morphology of

Omar Jawaid, Ehrin Armstrong Abstract Common femoral artery atherosclerosis is a common cause of claudication and critical limb ischaemia. Surgical endarterectomy with or without patch angioplasty has been considered the gold standard for the treatment of common femoral peripheral artery disease. Endovascular intervention to the common femoral artery has gained popularity in recent years as devices

Emad Hussein Abstract Peripheral vascular disease results from narrowing of the peripheral arteries that supply oxygenated blood and nutrients to the legs and feet. This pathology causes symptoms such as intermittent claudication (pain with walking), painful ischaemic ulcerations, or even limbthreatening gangrene. It is generally believed that the vascular endothelium, a monolayer of endothelial cells

Alexandre Campos Moraes Amato, Ricardo Virgínio dos Santos, Daniel Augusto Benitti, Dumitriu Zunino Saucedo, Salvador José de Toledo Arruda Amato Abstract In the past few years, advances in surgical techniques have improved outcomes in varicose veins treatment. The aim of this retrospective study was to determine whether the use of laser and different parameters influenced

Ian Wee, Chi Wei Ong, Nicholas Syn, Andrew MTL Choong Abstract This paper reviews the methodology, benefits and limitations associated with computational flow dynamics (CFD) in the field of vascular surgery. Combined with traditional imaging of the vasculature, CFD simulation enables accurate characterisation of real-time physiological and haemodynamic parameters such as wall shear stress. This

Yogeesan Sivakumaran, Manar Khashram, Paul Charles Haggart Abstract The formation of an ilio-iliac arteriovenous fistula is a potentially lethal complication of common iliac artery aneurysm presentations. Whilst trauma predominantly accounts for the majority, spontaneous rupture of a common iliac artery aneurysm into an adjacent venous structure accounts for a small subset of patients. Urgent surgical
Fernando Gallardo Pedrajas, Rubén Rodriguez Carvajal, Alberto Martín-Palanca, Rocio Martin-Palanca Verdes, Teresa Hernández Carbonell, Rocio Lainez Rube Abstract The chimney/periscope technique has been used to address complex aortic pathologies. This case report aims to report the outcomes of the endovascular management of the acute and simultaneous thrombosis of both renal covered stent grafts after bilateral

Ian Wee, , Nicholas Syn, Andrew MTL Choong Abstract The endovascular-first approach remains is omnipresent ubiquitous amongst in the vascular community today. However, several key issues have ensued remain, one of which involves the choice of vessel site. Although the transfemoral route is the first-line approach has been established as first-line approach in endovascular interventions of
