Abstract Central venous catheter insertion is a commonly performed procedure in the operating room and intensive care unit. It associated with many complications, some of which may be life-threatening. We report here an accidental hemodialysis into brachiocephalic trunk, was successfully removed by endovascular technique.

Thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) is a minimally invasive technique which is increasingly used in different thoracic aortic pathologies such as aortic aneurysm, complicated type B aortic dissection, aortic trauma, intramural hematoma and penetrating aortic ulcer. In this paper we discuss the main indications for endovascular stent-grafts in the treatment of thoracic aortic disease, ba...

Th oracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) is still associated with complications which include mortality in 7.3% of cases. In this report, we describe the case of a man with a pseudoaneurysm of the aortic isthmus that was scheduled to undergo endovascular repair. During the procedure, the patient had a sudden cardiac arrest due to a compressive hemopericardium caused by perforation of the as...

Abdominal aortic aneurysm can be treated using a vascular prosthesis which is placed in the aorta via another vessel (endovascular procedure). The procedure is considered to be a milder intervention for patients compared to conventional open surgery. There is moderate* scientific knowledge concerning several of the methods used in this treatment approach. Knowledge about the benefits and risks ...

Vascular bleeding is currently resolved through invasive surgical repair or cauterization. An alternative is endovascular embolization, a procedure that uses a catheter to inject a material through the target vessel, which lacks refined precision to reach the target. No one procedure is ideal, but, based on surgeon preference, they represent the current state of the art. What if there was anoth...

PURPOSE To compare the outcomes of open versus endovascular repair of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) in a cohort of patients who fulfill morphological criteria for endovascular repair. METHODS A retrospective review of 229 consecutive AAA patients treated over a 3-year period identified 149 patients who were candidates for endovascular repair based on preoperative computed tomography and ang...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Sonolysis is a new therapeutic procedure for arterial recanalization. The aim of this study was to confirm the safety and efficacy of endovascular sonolysis by using the EkoSonic Endovascular System in subjects with acute ischemic stroke. MATERIALS AND METHODS Patients with acute ischemic stroke with occlusion of the middle cerebral artery or basilar artery were enrolle...

Late complications following endovascular aneurysm repair indicate the need for long-term surveillance. Clinical trials involving endoluminal stent grafts have typically used computed tomography angiography as the main imaging modality for surveillance. However, computed tomography angiography exposes the patient to higher levels of ionizing radiation, nephrotoxic agents, and increased cost com...
