Below-the-ankle Angioplasty: Current Evidence and Future Perspectives

Volume 2, 2019 /

Stavros Spiliopoulos, Lazaros Reppas, Konstantinos Palialexis, Elias Brountzos Abstract Over 20 million adults in Europe suffer from peripheral arterial disease (PAD). The annual incidence of PAD is approximately 2.4%, while the annual incidence of critical limb ischaemia (CLI), the last and most severe stage of PAD, has been reported to be 0.4%. Endovascular angioplasty and/or […]

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

Volume 2, 2019 /

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

Volume 2, 2019 /

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

Volume 2, 2019 /

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

Volume 2, 2019 /

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

Historical Overview of Vascular Allografts Transplantation

Volume 2, 2019 /

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

Acute Type B Dissection

Volume 2, 2019 /

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

Carotid Artery Stenosis

Volume 2, 2019 /

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

The Fate of the Superior Mesenteric Artery in Fenestrated Endovascular Repair of Complex Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms

Volume 2, 2019 /

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
