RISK OF DEATH AFTER PACLITAXEL EXPOSURE DURING FEMOROPOPLITEAL ARTERY ANGIOPLAS...
F. Ribeiro, Tiago; Ferreira, Rita Soares; Cardoso, Joana; Figueiredo, Adriana; Fidalgo, Helena; Gonçalves, Frederico Bastos; Ferreira, Maria EmíliaPaclitaxel molecule has been on the market since 1991 and is indicated for the treatment of multiple neoplasms. Since 2012 has been used in endovascular devices for the treatment of peripheral artery disease and have become a mainstay in the treatment of symptomatic femoro-popliteal lesions, in particular for preventing arterial restenosis. They have a proven benefit in patency and freedom-from re-intervention ...
PRIMARY AORTOCAVAL FISTULA IN RUPTURED ABDOMINAL AORTIC ANEURYSM — INSTITUTIONA...
Ribeiro, Tiago; Ferreira, Rita Soares; Catarino, Joana; Vieira, Isabel; Correia, Ricardo; Bento, Rita; Garcia, Rita; Pais, Fábio; Cardoso, JoanaIntroduction: Aortocaval Fistula is a rare clinical entity associated with Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm in less than 1% of cases. Main clinical features include acute heart failure, lower extremety edema, acute kidney injury and acute liver failure. Open surgical repair is associated with high mortality rates (16–66%)(1). On the other hand, endovascular treatment could represent a less morbid and equally efective ...
NELLIX® ENDOPROTHESIS IN THE TREATMENT OF AAA — REPORT OF OUR UNSUCCESSFULL EXP...
Ribeiro, Tiago; Ferreira, Rita Soares; Alves, Gonçalo; Catarino, Joana; Vieira, Isabel; Correia, Ricardo; Bento, Rita; Garcia, Rita; Pais, FábioIntroduction: Nellix® endoprosthesis (Endologix Inc., Irvine, CA) is composed by two ballon-expandable stents surrounded by endobags, which are filled with a polymer, thus obliterating the aneurysmal sac – Endovascular Aneurysm Sealing (EVAS). Initially, due to its properties, was introduced with extended IFU, allowing the use in more complex abdominal aortic aneurysms. However, during the initial experience wi...
STANDARD EVAR IN LARGE NECKS — IS IT A REASONABLE SOLUTION?
Oliveira-Pinto, José; Ferreira, Rita Soares; Oliveira, Nélson; Sousa, Joel; Gonçalves, Frederico Bastos; Moreira, Adelino Leite; Mansilha, ArmandoIntroduction: Endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) has expanded into progressively more challenging anatomies. Proximal neck-morphology represents the major determinant of EVAR durability. Neck-diameter constitutes one of the most important anatomical neck features and influence proximal sealing over time.The purpose of this study is to investigate the influence of wide proximal necks on outcome after standard E...
MORPHOLOGIC CHANGES AND CLINICAL CONSEQUENCES OF WIDE AAA NECKS TREATED WITH 34...
Oliveira-Pinto, José; Ferreira, Rita Soares; Oliveira, Nélson F. G.; Gonçalves, Frederico Bastos; Hoeks, Sanne; Van Rijn, Marie Josee; Ten Raa, SanderIntroduction: Endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) became the preferred modality for infrarenal aneurysm (AAA) repair. Several available endografts have main body proximal diameters up to 36mm, allowing for treatment of proximal AAA necks up to 32 mm. However, large neck represents a predictor of proximal complications after EVAR. The purpose of this study is to evaluate mid-term outcomes of patients requiring 3...
