متن کاملAn Aortoenteric Fistula Arising after Endovascular Management of a Mycotic Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Complicated with a Psoas Abscess
Mycotic aortic aneurysms account for 1–3% of all aortic aneurysms. The management of this disease is controversial. Since open surgical repair is associated with high morbidity and mortality rates, endovascular aneurysm repair is an alternative treatment method with promising early and midterm outcomes, although its long-term durability is unknown.Secondary aortoenteric fistulas may occur iatro...
متن کاملThe Sorin Freedom SOLO stentless aortic valve: easier implantation technique with potentially less risk of complications.
Aortic valve replacement by bioprosthesis is increasingly being used. Among these, stentless bioprosthesis is becoming a valid choice due to its potential hemodynamic improvement. The Sorin Freedom SOLO stentless aortic valve (FS) (Sorin Biomedica Cardio, Saluggia, Italy) is widely used, with initial and midterm promising results. It is designed to be deployed in a straightforward manner in the...
متن کاملRepair of type I endoleak by chimney technique after endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm repair
Endovascular aneurysm repair is a minimally invasive, durable and effective alternative to open surgery for treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA). However, in patients who do not have an adequate sealing zone, open surgical repair is required, which may increase mortality and morbidity. An alternative treatment in patients with challenging anatomy is the so-called "chimney graft" techni...
متن کاملPercutaneous Treatment of Mitral Valve Periprosthetic Leakage. An Alternative to High-Risk Surgery?
Received February 6, 2008. Accepted for publication May 27, 2008. Periprosthetic mitral valve regurgitation due to paravalvular leakage is one of the complications of valve replacement surgery. We report a series of 8 patients with severe symptomatic periprosthetic mitral regurgitation in whom surgery could not be performed because of the high risk. All patients were assigned to percutaneous cl...
