Endovascular treatment with covered stents (stent grafts) has emerged as an effective alternative to surgery, but this new technique is not exempt from complications. We report the case of a male gunshot victim, treated by a covered stent for haemorrhagic shock due to partial subclavian rupture.

Endovascular treatment of a nontraumatic left subclavian artery pseudoaneurysm.

Mycotic subclavian artery pseudoaneurysms are rare. There are controversies over the surgical or endovascular approach as the treatment of choice for these lesions. The standard surgical debridement might not be a choice for poorly surgically reachable lesions or for patients with multiple comorbidities. Endovascular aneurysm repair may be an effective alternative in selected cases. This treatm...

Role of endovascular repair in the management of late pseudo-aneurysms following open surgery for aortic coarctation.

BACKGROUND Coarctation of the aorta accounts for almost 5% of all congenital cardiac malformations, and it is usually treated by open surgical procedures. Despite the excellent primary results, many patients may develop anastomotic pseudo-aneurysms, associated with considerable morbidity and mortality rates. We investigated the role of endovascular repair as an alternative to open re-do surgery...
