A Technique for Clamping Calcified Iliac Arteries

Robot-assisted simple prostatectomy with temporary internal iliac arteries clamping: our preliminary results

Valve-Like and Protruding Calcified Intimal Flap Complicating Common Iliac Arteries Kissing Stenting

Endovascular therapy for iliac artery chronic total occlusions is nowadays associated with low rates of procedure-related complications and improved clinical outcomes, and it is predominantly used as first-line therapy prior to aortobifemoral bypass grafting. Herein, we describe the case of a patient presenting with an ischemic left foot digit ulcer and suffering complex aortoiliac lesions, who...

Thallium uptake by canine iliac arteries.

Most of the thallium uptake by canine iliac arteries (70%) was inhibited by ouabain. The component sensitive to ouabain was significantly increased by incubating tissues in K+-free solution and reduced by low temperatures, metabolic inhibitors, and loading with lithium. The apparent Km for thallium for the ouabain-sensitive uptake was 0.47 +/- 0.046 mM. External K+ inhibited thallium uptake and...

Infections of the aorta and iliac arteries

Infections of the aorta, eventually associated with aneurysm development, are rare (0.5-2.6%) with higher rates observed in Eastern countries (13%) 1-6. Only small series are available from the literature, so it is very difficult to identify risk factors for this disease; most patients are aged, with generalized sepsis and serious comorbidities often associated with a depressed immune response....

Preservation of internal iliac arteries during endovascular aneurysm repair using “eye of the tiger” technique

Parallel endografts were introduced as a way to expand endovascular repair of aneurysms involving branch vessels. However, endoleaks as a result of the gutters between the parallel endografts made this technique less favorable. The "eye of the tiger" technique was introduced to reduce the gutters between the parallel endografts proximally in the aorta. We report endovascular repair of infrarena...
