Background: Circulation in the limbs can be augmented using transcutaneous electrical stimulation devices. The optimum muscle stimulation sites for enhancement of vascular hemodynamic parameters have not been identified.
Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the risk factors for complications of totally implantable catheters in a referral cancer center.
Objective: In this study, we sought to investigate the incidence of stent migration after endovascular stenting (EVS) in patients with nutcracker syndrome (NCS) and to discuss the related factors.
Background: Chronic venous occlusions can result in debilitating symptoms and can be refractory to standard methods of venous recanalization because of the formation of dense fibrous tissue. A transjugular liver access cannula can be incorporated into recanalization efforts to treat such refractory cases. This report describes our experience using the transjugular liver access cannula technique in nine patients.
Background: The spectrum of chronic venous disease (CVD) is well documented in adults; clinical guidelines standardize diagnosis and treatment. There is a paucity of data published commenting on pediatric CVD exclusive of Klippel-Trénaunay syndrome (KTS) and post-thrombotic syndrome.
Objective: This review explores the current literature on the natural history, diagnosis, and management of mesenteric venous thrombosis (MVT) in the modern era.
Objective: To define the relative importance of fiber type as compared to laser wavelength on tissue injury depth, postoperative pain, and bruising during endovenous laser ablation.
Objective: The option to retrieve inferior vena cava (IVC) filters has resulted in an increase in the utilization of these devices as stopgap measures in patients with relative contraindications to anticoagulation. These retrievable IVC filters, however, are often not retrieved and become permanent. Recent data from our institution confirmed a historically low retrieval rate. Therefore, we hypothesized that the implementation of a new IVC filter retrieval protocol would increase the retrieval rate of appropriate IVC filters at our institution.
Objective: Factors influencing risk for brachial access site complications after peripheral vascular intervention are poorly understood. We queried the Society for Vascular Surgery Vascular Quality Initiative to identify unique demographic and technical risks for such complications.
Objective: The treatment outcomes of symptomatic visceral artery aneurysms (SVAAs) have been sparsely characterized, with no clear comparisons between different treatment modalities. The purpose of this study was to review the outcomes of SVAAs and asymptomatic visceral artery aneurysms (ASVAAs) after endovascular treatment (ET).
Objective: The mechanism of angioplasty is disruption of atherosclerotic plaque, which often results in dissections. Dissection after percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) remains a significant clinical problem and untreated may cause acute occlusion or later restenosis. Stents are used to manage dissections, which is often followed by in-stent restenosis and occasionally stent fracture. Tack (Intact Vascular, Wayne, Pa) implants have minimal metal and low radial force and are specifically designed for dissection repair. This study evaluated Tack implants for treatment of dissections resulting from standard balloon PTA for femoral-popliteal arterial disease. Twelve-month outcomes after Tack treatment of post-PTA dissections are described.
Objective: Arterial closure devices (ACDs) seem to be safe and effective to obtain hemostasis for cardiac interventions and diagnostic vascular procedures. However, only limited evidence is presented on therapeutic interventions in patients with peripheral atherosclerotic disease. We compared ischemic and hemorrhagic complications of an ACD vs manual compression (MC) after puncture of the femoral artery for endovascular lower extremity procedures.
Objective: The Covered vs Balloon Expandable Stent Trial (COBEST) is the first multicenter trial to investigate the patency of covered stents (CSs) and bare-metal stents (BMSs) in the treatment of aortoiliac arterial disease. The short-term results demonstrated that CSs were superior to BMSs in maintaining patency for TransAtlantic Inter-Society Consensus (TASC) C and D lesions at 18 months and were equivalent to BMSs for TASC B lesions. The current study was conducted to determine if the initial patency advantage of CSs over BMSs was sustained at the 5-year follow-up.
Background: Previous studies have found conflicting results regarding the operative risks associated with conversion to open abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair after failed endovascular treatment (endovascular aneurysm repair [EVAR]). The purpose of this study was to assess the outcome of patients undergoing a conversion, and compare outcomes with standard open AAA repair and EVAR. In addition, we sought out to identify factors associated with conversion.
Objective: Studies have shown that a sizable percentage of endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) for abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) is performed outside the instructions for use (IFU). We report our long-term outcomes after EVAR with respect to device-specific IFU.
