Acute occlusion of the aorta following bilateral aortoiliac procedures
نویسنده
چکیده
Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty is a very common procedure and it is considered quite a safe and effective technique. We present a case of a patient who developed acute occlusion of the aorta and iliac vessels following bilateral aortoiliac angioplasty. There have been cases reported of acute iliac and femoral occlusion following bilateral aortoiliac angioplasty but so far there has not been a reported case of acute occlusion of the aorta following aortic and bilateral iliac procedures.

A Comparison of the Acute Phase Proteins in Chronic Aortic Occlusion versus Diffuse Aortoiliac Occlusive Disease
Methods Sixty patients with the aortoiliac occlusive disease were divided in two groups. First group consisted of thirty patients with the angiographic signs of diffuse aortoiliac occlusive disease, Leriche type III (AIOD group). Second (COA) group consisted of 30 patients characterized by either bifurcated aortic occlusion or juxtarenal aortic occlusion. Those two groups were compared accordin...

Complete aortic occlusion is rare, but potentially catastrophic. It usually occurs in patients with advanced aortoiliac atherosclerosis, and can cause severe ischaemic manifestations (7). Acute aortic occlusion bears an early mortality of 31–52 % (1, 7) and is caused either by embolic occlusion or by acute thrombosis of the infrarenal abdominal aorta. Between 75–80 % of cases of thrombotic aort...
متن کاملBalloon Occlusion of the Contralateral Iliac Artery to Assist Recanalization of the Ipsilateral Iliac Artery in Total Aortoiliac Occlusion: A Technical Note
Endovascular recanalization of chronic total aortoiliac occlusion is technically challenging. Inability to reenter the true aortic lumen, following retrograde iliac recanalization, is one of the most common causes of failure. We describe a case of a total aortoiliac occlusion where balloon occlusion of the right common iliac artery, following its recanalization from a brachial approach, was use...

Introduction Oxidative stress seems to be a role in the atherosclerosis process, but research in human beings is scarce. Objective To evaluate the role of oxidative stress on human aortas of patients submitted to surgical treatment for advanced aortoiliac occlusive disease. Methods Twenty-six patients were divided into three groups: control group (n=10) formed by cadaveric organ donors; sev...

BACKGROUND Aortoiliac occlusive disease, which is also referred to as Leriche syndrome, is a chronic atherosclerotic occlusive disease that occurs at the level of the aortic bifurcation. It is often thought to present with a triad of clinical symptoms: (1) intermittent lower extremity vascular claudication, (2) impotence, and (3) weak/absent femoral pulses. CASE PRESENTATION We report a case ...
