Thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) effectively improved the results of thoracic aortic aneurysm treatment. TEVAR is a less invasive procedure that can be performed under local anesthesia with shorter hospital stay. The perioperative morbidity and mortality rates are lower for endovascular than open repair, but the rate of secondary interventions is higher for TEVAR. We report a case of...

BACKGROUND Several benefits have been described over the years of the transradial versus femoral endovascular approach to cardiac interventions. Consequently, its use has become habitual at most centers that perform cardiac catheterizations. This paper details a right transradial approach, incorporating a variety of coils or flow diverters, which can be utilized for the endovascular treatment o...

PURPOSE Mortality in patients with ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms (rAAAs) has remained high despite advances in interventions. Endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) was recently developed for treatment of rAAAs. In this study, we assessed our endovascular strategy including a double-balloon technique for rAAA. METHODS We analyzed 12 consecutive patients with rAAAs who were treated by our d...

In a relatively short period of time, transcatheter and endovascular approaches to treat thoracic aortic and structural heart disease have exploded onto the scene. New device frontiers already being forged in the experimental stages include expanded indications and variations of fenestrated and branch stentgrafting to treat thoracoabdominal and arch disease, endovascular ascending and aortic ro...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Cerebral bypass grafts may develop generalized graft narrowing or focal stenosis during the perioperative period or later. Endovascular techniques such as PTA and stent placement of graft vessels are potential treatment options. Our objective was to review the safety, indications, technique, and results of endovascular management of graft problems. MATERIALS AND METHODS...
