PURPOSE To report experiences of the sandwich technique (ST) for preservation of pelvic flow during endovascular repair of complex aortic or aortoiliac aneurysms. MATERIALS AND METHODS Eight patients underwent elective endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) using the ST between March 2013 and February 2017. The anatomic indications for the ST were complex aortoiliac aneurysms (5 cases), abdomina...

A 70-year-old man presented with severe pain on the right side of the abdomen for 7 days. An abdominal CT angiographic scan showed an impending rupture of a large right internal iliac artery aneurysm which compressed to a right ureter causing hydroureteronephrosis. Fornix rupture of a right duplex kidney was also detected. Selective embolization of right gluteal arteries and then ligation of th...

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of detachable interlock microcoils for an embolization of the internal iliac artery during an endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR). MATERIALS AND METHODS A retrospective review was conducted on 40 patients with aortic aneurysms, who had undergone an EVAR between January 2010 and March 2012. Among them, 16 patients were refer...

Methods 117 endovascular stent-graft procedures in 113 patients for thoracic, abdominal and iliac pathologies was performed at our institute between January 2009-April 2013. 94(83.1%) patients were male. Indications for endovascular interventions were as follows; 58 for abdominal aortic aneursym, 14 for descending aortic aneursym, 4 for both descending and abdominal aortic aneursyms, 2 for thor...

INTRODUCTION Endovascular aortic repair, if technically feasible, is the treatment of choice for patients with a contained ruptured aortic aneurysm who are unfit for open surgery. CASE PRESENTATION We report the case of an 80-year-old Caucasian man who presented with an unusually configured, symptomatic infrarenal aortic aneurysm. His aneurysm showed an erosion of the fourth lumbar vertebra a...

Internal iliac artery aneurysms are rare, but with a mortality approaching 50% in those that rupture, prompt diagnosis is essential. Often presentation is nonspecific; a wide variety of symptoms and signs have been encountered, illustrating a challenge in identification. We report a case of ruptured internal iliac artery aneurysm presenting as urinary retention. The importance of maintaining a ...

Treatment of patients with aorto-iliac aneurysm associated with chronic renal failure (CRF) under hemodialysis is a challenge, due to increased morbimortality1,2. Several authors reviewed open aneurysm repair in association with kidney transplantation (RT) and proposed a staged approach with aorto-iliac disease being treated first3-5. Endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) has been replacing open ...

Fibromuscular dysplasia(FMD) is a non-atherosclerotic arteriopathy affecting approximate all-sized vascular beds predominantly among women aging from 20 to 60 years. Iliac arterial FMD has not been precisely described regarding demographic, imaging and clinical features. We herein report the first case of bilateral common and internal iliac arterial FMD in China, with renal artery involvement d...

We describe the technique of endovascular thermal septotomy for chronic post dissection thoracoabdominal aneurysms treated by approach. The video also illustrates repair iliac artery aneurysm with branch endoprosthesis using ipsilateral access steerable sheath. eyJraWQiOiI4ZjUxYWNhY2IzYjhiNjNlNzFlYmIzYWFmYTU5NmZmYyIsImFsZyI6IlJTMjU2In0.eyJzdWIiOiJhOTExMTI1ZjVhMzlkZTYzYWI1ZjkwOTNjMzllY2Y2NiIsImt...
