VH06 Percutaneous Access Site Control in Complex Endovascular Aortic Interventions

Total percutaneous access for endovascular aortic aneurysm repair ("Preclose" technique).

OBJECTIVE Percutaneous access during endovascular aneurysm repair has been difficult owing to the large size of the delivery catheters. This study reports a single-center experience of totally percutaneous access during endovascular abdominal and thoracic aortic repairs using the Preclose Proglide device (Abbott Vascular, Redwood City, Calif). METHODS Between December 2004 and August 2006, 26...

Percutaneous interventions in aortic disease.

[Immediate and long-term results of percutaneous suture of femoral access-site after endovascular treatment of thoracic aortic disease].

The use of stent grafts for treating diseases of the aorta has been assisted by the development of new percutaneous techniques for closing the access site. The purpose of this study is to describe our clinical experience and results obtained using percutaneous closure devices for femoral artery closure after the placement of stent grafts.

Totally Percutaneous Access Using Perclose Proglide for Endovascular Treatment of Aortic Diseases

Objective To evaluate our experience following the introduction of a percutaneous program for endovascular treatment of aortic diseases using Perclose Proglide® assessing efficacy, complications and identification of potential risk factors that could predict failure or major access site complications. Methods A retrospective cohort study during a two-year period was performed. All the patient...

Endovascular Repair of Complex Aortic Pathology

Aortic aneurysms are classified as complex based on their extent and involvement of side branches. Complex aortic aneurysms include arch, thoracoabdominal, juxtarenal and suprarenal aortic aneurysms. Open surgical repair carries high morbidity and mortality beyond large tertiary care centers. During the last decade, numerous technological advances have allowed incorporation of side branches usi...
