Abstract: We report a case of stent fracture and collapse of balloon-expandable stents caused by shiatsu massage. A 76-year-old man presented with complaints of intermittent claudication of the right lower extremity. Stenoses of the bilateral common iliac arteries (CIAs) were detected. Balloon-expandable stents were deployed in both CIAs, resulting in resolution of symptoms. Five months later, pelvis x-ray showed collapse of both stents. Despite the stent collapse, the patient was asymptomatic, and his ankle brachial index values were within the normal range. Further history showed that the patient underwent daily shiatsu therapy in the umbilical region, which may have triggered collapse of the stent. Physicians should advise patients to avoid compression of the abdominal wall after implantation of a stent in the iliac artery.

Introduction Endovascular repair of thoracic aortic aneurysms is an alternative to open surgical repair in certain patients. Endoleaks are a potential complication, and they represent a posttreatment failure due to a persistent communication between the aneurysm and the systemic arterial circulation. Left untreated, an endoleak may lead to continued aneurismal enlargement and ultimately result in rupture [1]. This report illustrates that a safe transthoracic approach to type II endoleak repair may be achieved, leading to a favorable and durable long-term result.

Abstract: Blunt traumatic abdominal aortic dissection is extremely rare and potentially deadly. We present the case of a 62-year-old man involved in a frontal car crash. After emergency undergoing laparotomy for bowel injuries, he was referred to our hospital due to acute ischemia of bilateral lower extremities on day 3 after the trauma. Computed tomography and aortography showed an aortobiiliac dissection with complete occlusion. This injury was successfully treated by endovascular treatment with “kissing”-technique stent placement, which appears to be a safe, effective, and minimally invasive treatment.

Abstract: We describe a case of successful recanalization of a longstanding right common iliac occlusion with a radiofrequency (RF) guidewire. The patient had been symptomatic with claudication for 3 years, and a preliminary attempt to cross the lesion using conventional techniques proved unsuccessful. Using low and medium intensity RF pulses and a PowerWire, a tract through the occlusion was established, which allowed subsequent stenting with an excellent angiographic result and a good immediate clinical response. We propose this as a useful technique in the peripheral arterial system for occlusive lesions not amenable to traditional recanalization techniques.

Over the past decade there has been an explosion in the number of tools available for the endovascular treatment of lower extremity peripheral arterial disease (PAD). Seemingly every few months, the interventionalist is confronted with a new device that promises to deliver both immediate angiographic improvement and long-term freedom from restenosis. Despite the increasing availability of newer angioplasty balloons, nitinol stents, drug-coated devices, and atherectomy cutters, the ideal treatment for an individual patient is unclear and often not based on rigorously vetted data. In contrast to the coronary circulation, this clinical uncertainty is largely the result of a paucity of randomized controlled trials to evaluate the utility of these devices.

Background—Drug-coated balloons are rapidly emerging as a therapeutic alternative for the interventional treatment of peripheral vascular disease. The purpose of this study was to test the hypothesis that an angioplasty balloon coated with the mTOR inhibitor zotarolimus (ZCB) would inhibit neointimal hyperplasia in a novel injury-based superficial femoral artery model in the familial hypercholesterolemic swine.

Background: A significant proportion of patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) have concomitant peripheral arterial disease (PAD), which plays a crucial role in the preinterventional selection process of determining an optimal vascular access site. The aim of our study was to determine the impact of PAD on clinical outcome after TAVI in a real-world setting. American Heart Journal Volume 164, Issue 1 , Pages 102-110.e1, July 2012.
