•The present study provides a detailed overview of the nature secondary interventions after endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR).•Long-term follow-up 53.2 months.•The management post-EVAR complications and information given to patients about possible could be further improved by using findings this study. BackgroundEarly morbidity mortality are low abdominal (EVAR), but late common. The aim mult...

The widespread use of endovascular aortic aneurysm repair (EVAR) has been accompanied by an increase in need to surgically treat infectious complications of aortic stent-grafts. Although this indication remains somewhat uncommon in most centers, the incidence of stent-graft infections ranges from 1% to 3% in small retrospective series [1,2]. Graft infection can occur as a primary event from ski...

This is the first case performed in world of a complete endovascular aortic arch repair using an endograft with three retrograde branches requiring only unilateral femoral artery access. design simplifies steps for by eliminating need supra-aortic exposure and/or demonstrates evolution minimally invasive technologies and represents transformative change approach to aneurysmal disease. eyJraWQiO...

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...

Abernethy malformations are a rare collection of congenital hepatic portosystemic shunts. Our 19-year-old patient is with a type 2 Abernethy malformation elected permanent shunt closure following worsening dyspnea. This report details a single stage endovascular technique wherein shunt closure was achieved immediately by placement of an aortic endograft. At 5-month follow-up, the patient report...

We report successful management of aortic graft infection without graft explanation or extra-anatomic bypass. A 61 year-old male who had undergone surgical repair of a type IV thoraco-abdominal aortic aneurysm presented with left flank pain and raised inflammatory markers following graft implantation. CT scanning revealed a left psoas fluid collection. Graft infection was diagnosed. A radio-gui...

As the mortality rates associated with open surgery for thoracic aortic aneurysms and type B aortic dissection are within the range of 5-20% and 6-67%, endovascular technology has been developed as a minimally invasive alternative treatment. Such techniques avoid the need for thoracotomy, aortic cross-clamping, and left-sided heart bypass, and are associated with shorter operative times and hos...

Endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) has been recommended as an alternative to open aneurysm repair. The risk of severe perioperative complications is lower than that in open surgical repair; however, late complications are more likely. After EVAR, regular yearly surveillance by duplex ultrasonography or computed tomography is recommended. We report the case of a 67-year-old man with a severely ...
