A 62-year-old man presented to our department with abdominal pain and diarrhea for 3 weeks on a background of previous branched endovascular repair for a thoracoabdominal aneurysm. A triple-phase computed tomography scan of his abdomen and pelvis showed a large aortocaval fistula caused by a type III endoleak from a dislodged superior mesenteric artery stent. He was successfully treated with a ...

We report successful thoracic endovascular repair of a pseudoaneurysm rupture in the ascending aorta using infrarenal endovascular devices after an aortic valve replacement. Complete exclusion of the pseudoaneurysm was achieved with no endoleak or postoperative complications. Despite limitations of the current technology, this endovascular technique was a relatively less invasive, feasible life...

ObjectiveThis study aims to determine the outcomes of transcaval embolization (TCE) for type II endoleak after infrarenal endovascular aortic repair (EVAR) and fenestrated/branched EVAR (F/BEVAR).MethodsA retrospective single-center cohort all consecutive TCE procedures between August 2015 2019 was performed investigate technical success, in-hospital morbidity, 30-day mortality as well clinical...

Type II endoleak is a common and often unavoidable complication following endovascular aortic aneurysm repair. Most endoleaks are transient will either resolve spontaneously or remain benign. However, persistent type can be associated with aneurysmal sac expansion and, even, rupture. The optimal treatment strategy for these depends on the source, location, collateral network of feeding vessels....

Objective: The aim of this study is to compare early and follow-up outcomes late open conversions (LOC, with complete or partial endograft explantation) semi-conversions (SC, preservation) after endovascular aneurysm repair in a multicenter experience. Methods: All LOC SC performed from 1997 2020 11 vascular centers were compared. Endograft infections thrombosis excluded. Primary endpoints mort...

Posttraumatic infrarenal aortic pseudoaneurysms are rare and potentially lethal lesions. We report the case of a 32-year-old man presenting with infrarenal aortic pseudoaneurysm eight months after being stabbed in the back and right flank. His pseudoaneurysm was close to the iliac bifurcation, so we decided to deploy a bifurcated endovascular graft stent, the TriVascular Ovation endovascular st...

In treating uncomplicated abdominal aortic aenurysm, endovascular aortic aneurysm repair (EVAR) has been employed as a good alternative to open repair with low perioperative morbidity and mortality. However, the aneurysm can enlarge or rupture even after EVAR as a result of device failure, endoleak, or graft migration. We experienced two cases of aneurismal rupture after EVAR, which were succes...

PURPOSE To describe and interpret the findings of computed tomography images acquired before and after endovascular aneurysm sealing (EVAS) with the Nellix endoprosthesis and consider the potential implications of these findings on EVAS planning and performance. METHODS A retrospective review was performed of perioperative imaging from 30 consecutive patients (median age 79 years; 19 men) und...
