Objective: Type II endoleak is the most common complication after endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm repair (EVAR); however, its natural history is unclear. The aim of this study was to examine the incidence and outcomes of type II endoleak, at a single institution after EVAR.
Objectives: There have been concerns that performing carotid endarterectomy (CEA) in the hyperacute period after onset of a transient ischaemic attack (TIA) or stroke may be associated with a significant increase in the procedural risk that could offset any long-term benefit to the patient. The aim of this audit was to determine the 30-day risk of stroke/death after CEA in symptomatic patients, stratified for delay from the most recent neurological event, mode of presentation, and age.
Objectives: To determine if the duration of wearing compression stockings after endovenous laser ablation (EVLA) of the great saphenous vein (GSV) has influence on pain and quality of life.
Objectives: To evaluate the influence of planning endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) with a three-dimensional (3D) workstation on early and midterm outcomes.
Objectives: To measure the radiation exposure of the operating team during endovascular aortic procedures, and to determine factors that predict high exposures.
Objective: Endovascular aneurysm sealing (EVAS) using the Nellix system is a promising alternative to endovascular repair (EVR) and open surgery for abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA). The aim of this study was to investigate the proportion of patients with AAA who are morphologically suitable for treatment with Nellix.
Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of endovenous microwave ablation (EMA) in treatment of varicose veins (VVS).
Objective: To review the literature on the management of common carotid artery occlusion (CCAO).
Objectives: To compare the mid-term outcome and secondary intervention rate following elective open and endovascular aortic aneurysm repair (EVAR) in patients aged 65 years and younger.
Objective: To assess a practice of claudicant revascularization with either subintimal angioplasty (SIA) plus stenting or femoropopliteal bypass.
Objectives: The aims of the study were to test the safety and efficacy of a custom-made endovenous valve transfer stent, and delivery system in animals and humans.
Objective: There is an increasing use of minimal invasive techniques to treat saphenous vein reflux. Among these radiofrequency ablation (RFA), endovenous laser ablation (EVLA), and foam sclerotherapy are frequently used. A new method of thermal ablation is the steam vein sclerosing (SVS) system. This study evaluates the histological changes after ablation of the saphenous veins in goats with RFA, EVLA, and SVS.
Although endovascular techniques have markedly improved over the past decades, the important rates of restenosis and the frequent need for target vessel revascularization (TVR) remain challenging when nominating any endovascular approach as the gold standard technique. Particularly in areas as difficult as the femoropopliteal tract, long-term procedural success is hindered by extensive plaque burden, as well as numerous external mechanical stressors. Long (TASC II C and D), severely calcified (grade 3–4, > 270° calcium) lesions in the distal femoropopliteal segment in patients with critical limb ischemia with multilevel disease and significant runoff still have high TVR rates.
Perforations along the superficial femoral artery (SFA) can occur from a variety of causes; if unrecognized or mismanaged, they can result in significant morbidity and even mortality. In the worst cases, uncontrolled bleeding can lead to hemodynamic instability and the need for open surgical management, blood transfusions, and prolonged hospital stays. From a procedural standpoint, perforations can result in prolonged procedure times, incomplete treatment, and tremendous frustration to the operator. This article focuses on SFA perforations related to endovascular interventions, although many of the treatment methods can be applied to other causes of perforation, such as penetrating trauma or crush injury. The prevention of perforations will be discussed first, because the best way to manage any complication is to avoid it altogether. Then, common mechanisms of perforation and the most effective treatment options will be reviewed (see Common Procedure-Related Causes of SFA Perforations and Techniques to Treat SFA Segment Perforations).
Acute arterial thrombosis can cause myocardial infarction (MI), ischemic stroke, and acute limb ischemia (ALI). The annual incidences of such events are high; there were 935,000 MI and 795,000 stroke events in the United States in 2008.1 However, the incidence and prevalence of acute peripheral arterial thrombosis is not well described, even in lieu of its devastating consequences, including morbidity, mortality, and limb loss.1,2
