Endovascular treatment of atherosclerotic disease involving the popliteal artery has been met with skepticism due to its curvature and location at a flexion point. We aimed compare outcomes endovascular interventions limited (group I) those femoral segment II). A retrospective analysis all index Vascular Quality Initiative eligible for femoropopliteal occlusive between 2015 2022 our institution...

BACKGROUND Abdominal aortic aneurysms requiring surgical intervention are generally treated by endovascular means. Such procedures are not always offered in rural hospitals, possibly leaving patients underserved. We reviewed our experience initiating an endoaortic surgery program. METHODS A surgeon in a rural centre was credentialed to perform endovascular aortic aneurysm repair through colla...

Mycotic aneurysms are localized and irreversible dilatations of the arteries caused by weakening and damaging the arterial wall by an invasive organism establishing infective arteritis. Mycotic aneurysm of the thoracic aorta is a rare event; however, it can be fatal if not diagnosed early or not treated appropriately. Clinical findings are usually nonspecific; however, c...

Endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) is an adequate means for treating infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA). However, secondary interventions are required in approximately 15% to 20% of patients. The aim of this paper was to report our knowledge with stent grafts in secondary interventions after EVAR in a 73-year-old patient. One of the exceptional complications of EVAR are endoleaks whic...

Vascular complications by compromising the blood flow to the allograft can have significant and sometimes life-threating consequences for the patient. High level of suspicion and aggressive utilization of diagnostic modalities can lead to early diagnosis and salvage of the allograft. This review will summarize the current trends in the management of vascular complications after liver transplant...

Methods 117 endovascular stent-graft procedures in 113 patients for thoracic, abdominal and iliac pathologies was performed at our institute between January 2009-April 2013. 94(83.1%) patients were male. Indications for endovascular interventions were as follows; 58 for abdominal aortic aneursym, 14 for descending aortic aneursym, 4 for both descending and abdominal aortic aneursyms, 2 for thor...

BACKGROUND Nutcracker syndrome is an entity resulting from left renal vein compression by the aorta and the superior mesenteric artery, which leads to symptoms of hematuria or left flank pain. The alternative option of endovascular or extravascular stenting is very appealing because of the minimal invasive procedures. Stents in the renal vein can cause fibromuscular hyperplasia, proximal migrat...

A long way was traveled since the first surgery was performed for the treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysm. Throughout this time, several innovations have been created in order to reduce the invasiveness of the surgical procedures and to improve their safety and durability. This review discusses the major and recent advances on aortic aneurysm interventions, including, the endovascular aortic...

Conventional open repair of thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms is still associated with severe complications and shows immediate mortality rates up to 20%. Although there is an increasing number of cases treated exclusively by an endovascular approach, renovisceral debranching still represents a valid alternative in high-risk patients for open surgery and in those patients where endovascular pro...
