Introduction: There are no cost-utility data about below-the-knee placement of drug-eluting stents. The authors determined the cost-effectiveness of infrapopliteal drug-eluting stents for critical limb ischemia (CLI) treatment.
Purpose: Isolated atherosclerotic common femoral artery (CFA) disease is a rare cause of symptomatic peripheral arterial disease. Although surgical endarterectomy is considered the therapy of choice, little is known about outcomes of percutaneous treatment.
Purpose: To report an alternative technique of subintimal recanalization of chronically occluded lower-extremity arteries using a modified transseptal needle (MTSN) to reenter the true lumen.
Purpose: To determine the clinical and technical outcomes following endovascular therapy for aortoiliac occlusive disease, including complex reconstruction of the aortic bifurcation.
Purpose: To demonstrate a coaxial needle technique for direct percutaneous puncture embolization of type II endoleaks.
Objective: In 2007, Medicare guidelines were established to identify persons at risk for the presence of an abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). The purpose of this study is to evaluate the 5-year outcomes of an AAA screening program in a regional Veterans Affairs (VA) health care system.
Objective: Chimney grafts have proven useful for urgent endovascular repair of juxtarenal aortic aneurysms. Stenting of juxtarenal aortic occlusive disease is not routinely advocated due to the risk of visceral artery obstruction. We report on the potential applicability of chimney grafts in 10 patients with juxtarenal aortic stenosis or occlusion. To our best knowledge, chimney grafts have not been applied previously in this challenging setting.
Purpose: To report the use of intravascular frequency-domain optical coherence tomography (FD-OCT) to detect and characterize in-stent neointimal tissue following infrapopliteal drug-eluting stent (DES) placement in patients suffering from critical limb ischemia.
Purpose: To demonstrate transapical stent-graft implantation for the treatment of an ascending aortic aneurysm simultaneously using the periscope technique for all supra-aortic branches.
Objective: This study determined the incidence and characteristics of recurrent disease after femoropopliteal angioplasty, following either selective or routine stenting of diseased site(s).
Background: Abdominal aortic aneurysms that are unsuitable for a standard endovascular repair (EVAR) could be considered for fenestrated endovascular repair (f-EVAR). The aim of this study was to conduct a risk-adjusted retrospective concurrent cohort comparison of f-EVAR and open repair for such aneurysms.
Purpose: To describe the use of an Amplatzer Vascular Plug to facilitate endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) in a renal transplantation recipient with contained rupture of an abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA).
Background: Controversy exists as to the relative merits of surgical and endovascular treatment of femoropoliteal arterial disease.
Background: Aortic injury is the second most common cause of death after blunt trauma. Thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) has been rapidly adopted as an alternative to the traditional open repair (OR) for treatment of traumatic aortic injury (TAI). This paradigm shift has improved the outcomes in these patients. This study evaluated the outcomes of TEVAR compared with OR for patients with TAI.
Objective: Outcomes in the Carotid Revascularization Endarterectomy versus Stenting Trial (CREST) did not differ between carotid artery stenting (CAS) and carotid endarterectomy (CEA) for the composite primary end point of stroke, myocardial infarction (MI), or death during the periprocedural period or ipsilateral stroke within 4 years. Rigorous credentialing and training of interventionists, including vascular surgeons, were required for the randomization phase of CREST. Because the lead-in phase of CREST had suggested higher perioperative risks after CAS performed by vascular surgeons, the purpose of this analysis was to examine differences in outcomes after randomization between CAS and CEA performed by vascular surgeons.
