ChEVAR technique for emergent aneurysm repair - a retrospective case series
Veterano, Carlos; Sá Pinto, Pedro; Pereira, Carlos; Martins, Joana; A. Mendes, Daniel; Rocha, Henrique; Pinelo, Andreia; Machado, RuiINTRODUCTION: Chimney EVAR (ChEVAR) for the treatment of complex abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) has been largely relegated for when fenestrated endografts are unavailable, especially due to durability concerns. However, the off-the-shelf nature of ChEVAR makes it a good option for emergent AAA repair. We report our institutional experience in ChEVAR in an urgent setting.METHODS: ChEVAR procedures were collecte...
Redefining late renal artery revascularization – splenorenal bypass in the trea...
A. Mendes, Daniel; Machado, Rui; Castro, João; Almeida, RuiINTRODUCTION: The ischemic window of kidney parenchyma is narrow, so a rapid development of renal infarction after acute renal artery occlusion is expected. However, patients often present with nonspecific symptoms and laboratory findings, making the early diagnosis challenging and contributing to treatment delay. Irreversible kidney dysfunction seems not to depend on the total warm ischemia time alone, and oth...

A. Mendes, Daniel; Machado, Rui; Veterano, Carlos; Rocha, Henrique; Castro, João; Pinelo, Andreia; Almeida, Henrique; Almeida, RuiINTRODUCTION: Kidney autotransplantation (KAT) is a versatile surgical technique used to treat multiple diseases affecting the kidney. This procedure allows the reconstruction of the renal artery or vein with optimal surgical exposure reducing warm ischemia time compared to open direct repair. Although infrequently reported nowadays and despite the growing use of endovascular treatments, KAT still has a place i...
