Splenic artery aneurysm, one of the most common visceral aneurysms, accounts for 60% of all visceral aneurysm cases. Open surgery is the traditional treatment for splenic artery aneurysm but has the disadvantages of serious surgical injuries, a high risk of complications, and a high mortality rate.We report a case who was presented with splenic artery aneurysm. A 54-year-old woman complained of...

Polycystic kidney disease (PCKD) is rarely associated with aortic dissection (AD), which is a life-threatening disease. Although endovascular stent-graft repair tends to show better outcomes than conventional therapies in complicated type B AD (TBAD), successful endovascular intervention of TBAD with malperfusion in a patient with PCKD has not been reported. This case shows a 37-year-old male w...

Endovascular treatment of isolated bilateral common iliac artery aneurysm (CIAA) requires salvage of at least one internal iliac artery to prevent complications such as ischemic buttock claudication. We treated a case of bilateral CIAAs using an internal iliac branched stent graft. We report a case of a 58-year-old man who presented with bilateral CIAAs. The left internal iliac artery was occlu...

Mediastinal bronchial artery aneurysm (BAA) refers to a rare aneurysmal dilatation but can be potentially life threatening. Opportune treatment is mandatory upon a confirmed diagnosis. There are several reports of endovascular treatment of BAA with transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE) and only a few cases treated with aortic stent-graft exclusion. Here, we report on two case studies of med...

We report the case of an 80-year-old patient with bilateral isolated internal iliac artery aneurysms (IIIAAs), which were diagnosed by computer tomography angiography (CTA). Aneurysms with short proximal necks and large diameters were treated with coils, followed by placement of a bifurcated stent-graft within the aortic and external iliac arteries. When ectopic embolism and a type III endoleak...

Elective surgical repair has traditionally been considered to be the treatment of choice for the exclusion of isolated iliac artery aneurysms (IAAs). Recently, endovascular repair has evolved as an alternative to surgical repair, especially in patients at high surgical risk. However, in the absence of sufficient proximal necks, iliac artery aneurysms are not suitable for direct deployment of a ...

INTRODUCTION An arteriovenous fistula (AVF) is an abnormal connection between an artery and a vein which may result from traumatic injury or may occur as congenital abnormality. Stent graft repair through arteriovenous fistula could lead to complications. CASE REPORT Endovascular stent graft repair in a 23-year-old patient with posttraumatic superficial femoral arteriovenous fistula was perfo...

We present a case of deep position myocardial bridging in a patient who had early graft occlusion after coronary artery bypass grafting and had stent deformation and in-stent restonesis after succedent stenting.

The use of a branched endovascular stent-graft to repair an aneurysm of the visceral aorta is described. The evolving role of branched endovascular stent-grafts in the management of aortic aneurysms is discussed, and the literature reviewed.

PURPOSE To study explanted stent-grafts to achieve a better understanding of the mechanisms of failure after endovascular treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA). METHODS Twelve stent-grafts were harvested at autopsy (n=3) or during surgical conversion (n=9). Device alterations were investigated by macroscopic examination, radiography, and surface analysis techniques. Healing around the...
