Fenestrated endovascular aortic repair (FEVAR) is a potential treatment option in patients with failed EVAR due to proximal disease progression. However, studies evaluating the outcomes after FEVAR prior are limited data from single-center and high-volume institutions. Therefore, we compared vs without any surgery (primary FEVAR). We identified undergoing elective for complex abdominal aneurysm...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES We describe our experience with combined open and endovascular repair in patients who have aortic arch pathology. SUBJECTS AND METHODS This study is a retrospective analysis of 7 patients who underwent combined open and endovascular repair for aortic arch pathology. Medical records and radiographic information were reviewed. RESULTS A total of 7 consecutive patient...

There are several reported cases of successful endovascular repair of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) in patients with concomitant horseshoe kidney, in which accessory renal arteries were sacrificed. We describe a case of horseshoe kidney and AAA in which a surgical vascular conduit to accessory renal arteries created favorable anatomy for endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) while preserving re...

We report renal salvage maneuvers after accidental bilateral renal artery coverage during endovascular aneurysm repair of an infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm. A 79-year-old man with an infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm was treated with endovascular aneurysm repair. Completion angiography demonstrated coverage of the renal arteries. Several revascularization techniques were attempted, inc...

Aortic aneurysms remain a challenging problem for patients and physicians. There have been major advances in the treatment of large-vessel aneurysms during the past 10 years. The surgical armamentarium used to treat these aneurysms now includes an endovascular approach that allows the insertion of a graft to exclude the aneurysm sac from blood flow. The endovascular repair of abdominal and thor...

Despite recent advances in technique, spinal cord ischemia remains one of the most dreaded complications of thoracic aortic surgery. Recently, it has been suggested that thoracic endovascular aortic repair may decrease the risk of paraplegia. We present a case of delayed paraplegia following thoracic endovascular aortic repair that was successfully reversed on 3 separate occasions in the same p...

The aortic arch presents specific challenges to endovascular repair. Hybrid repair is increasingly evolving as an alternative option for selected patients, and promising initial results have been reported. The aim of this study was to introduce our experiences and evaluate mid-term results of supra aortic transpositions for extended endovascular repair of aortic arch pathologies. From December ...

Tracheoinnominate artery fistula (TIF) is one of the most dangerous complications after tracheostomy, and fetal even after surgical repair. Recently, endovascular stent has been introduced as an option for the treatment of TIF. Unfortunately, endovascular stent repair could not replace the surgery due to rare clinical reports about the long-term follow-up and complications of stent graft. More ...

Endovascular procedures have been proposed as minimally invasive alternative treatments, allowing safe and effective aortic aneurysm repair. Despite the potential benefits, endovascular stent grafting may elicit an unexpected systemic inflammatory response, called postimplantation syndrome (PIS). The main features of PIS include fever, elevated C-reactive protein levels, leukocytosis and/or coa...

There is a growing body of literature expanding the indication of endovascular aneurysm repair, from prophylactic treatment of aneurysms to other indications such as ruptured and complicated ruptured abdominal aneurysms. Concomitant aortocaval fistula is rare, and reports of open and endovascular repair exist. We report a unique hybrid approach to a case of a ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm ...
