TEVAR for primary aortic mural thrombus: when and how?

INTRODUCTION: Primary aortic mural thrombus (PAMT) is a rare cause of peripheral embolization that has been associated with hypercoagulable states. Anticoagulation is usually the first-line strategy, but has been associated with a significant risk of recurrent embolization. CASE-REPORT: A 51-year-old male patient with a history of right lung carcinoma underwent a follow-up computed tomography angiography (CTA) ...

Pulsatile Danger: Anterior Tibial Artery Pseudoaneurysm After Orthopaedic Inter...

Extra-cranial internal carotid aneurysm repair – the importance of technical de...

BACKGROUND: Extracranial internal carotid aneurysms are extremely rare and usually diagnosed as incidental findings although thromboembolic events or rupture can occur. Historically treated by open surgery, endovascular repair is emerging as an alternative. We present our center’s experience with both approaches. CASE REPORTS: Four internal carotid aneurysm cases are presented: Case 1 – 60-year-old male present...

Endovascular treatment of proximal lower extremity deep vein thrombosis – exper...

INTRODUCTION: Proximal lower extremity deep vein thrombosis (DVT) occurs in 5-10/10000 patients annually. Left untreated, there's a notable risk of pulmonary embolism development and the onset of long-term limb complications linked to post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS). Traditionally, these patients were treated with conservative therapy, namely anticoagulation and compression stockings. Nowadays, new and more aggr...

Outflow Rescue of Elbow-Blockade Forearm Arteriovenous Fistulas: Outcomes of Op...

Background Venous scarring at the elbow is a common problem that can cause early and late forearm arteriovenous fistula (AVF) dysfunction in hemodialysis patients. However, any effort to prolong the long-term patency of distal vascular accesses could benefit the patient's survival, maximizing the use of restricted venous patrimony. This study aims to report a single-center experience in the recovery of distal a...

ISOLATED ABDOMINAL AORTIC DISSECTION – A DIFFERENT ANIMAL? – CASE SERIES

Introduction: Isolated abdominal aortic dissection (IAAD) is a relatively rare event and precise indications for treatment aren't clearly defined. Its natural history is not fully understood due to the rarity of the disease and to the fact that most surgeons have a low threshold to intervene in these patients. Open surgery represents the classical treatment but endovascular intervention has gained wide acceptan...

TRATAMENTO ENDOVASCULAR DE ANEURISMAS ILÍACOS BILATERAIS COM PERFUSÃO RETRÓGRAD...

Introduction: The development of aneurysms in iliac arteries excluded from high-pressure direct flow from the aorta is very uncommon. We report a case of successful treatment of bilateral metachronous iliac artery aneurysms (MIA), found 10 years after an aortobifemoral bypass, with perfusion only by retrograde flow from the common femoral arteries (CFA). Case Report: A 76-year-old man came for consultation afte...

IN SITU LESSER SAPHENOUS VEIN BYPASS THROUGH A POSTERIOR APPROACH: AN UNDERESTI...

INTRODUCTION: In situ lesser saphenous vein (LSV) graft has been advocated in cases of lower limb revascularization where target arteries are confined to the lower leg and the greater saphenous vein (GSV) is neither available nor suitable. This often occurs in diabetic or end-stage renal diseased patients, whose occlusive disease pattern typically affects the tibioperoneal vessels, sparing the femoropopliteal s...

CAROTID ENDARTERECTOMY: GUIDELINES VERSUS REAL-WORLD PRACTICE

Introduction:  A number of guidelines for the management of carotid disease are available to help clinicians in therapeutic decision and provide useful guidance for the best care of the patients. They stated that carotid endarterectomy (CEA) has some benefit in symptomatic patients with carotid stenosis of 50-69% and is highly beneficial in stenosis of 70-99%, with mortality/ stroke rate less than 6%. The ...
