BACKGROUND Thoracic endovascular aortic repair offers a less invasive approach for the treatment of ruptured descending thoracic aortic aneurysms (rDTAA). Due to the low incidence of this life-threatening condition, little is known about the outcomes of endovascular repair of rDTAA and the factors that affect these outcomes. METHODS AND RESULTS We retrospectively investigated the outcomes of ...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of endovascular repair for blunt popliteal arterial injuries. MATERIALS AND METHODS A retrospective analysis of seven patients with clinical suspicion of popliteal arterial injuries that were confirmed by arteriography was performed from September 2009 to July 2014. Clinical data included demographics, mechanism of injury, type of injury...

OBJECTIVES The purpose of this retrospective, single-institution study is to describe a 4-year experience of examining early and late clinical outcomes after endovascular repair of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). MATERIALS AND METHODS Between October 1998 and January 2003, 455 patients were submitted for AAA treatment, of whom 269 underwent open repair and 186 were treated with an endovascul...

Background—Thoracic endovascular aortic repair offers a less invasive approach for the treatment of ruptured descending thoracic aortic aneurysms (rDTAA). Due to the low incidence of this life-threatening condition, little is known about the outcomes of endovascular repair of rDTAA and the factors that affect these outcomes. Methods and Results—We retrospectively investigated the outcomes of 87...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Given the challenges posed by surgical clipping, endovascular techniques have been increasingly used to treat SHA aneurysms. The purpose of this study was to assess the safety and efficacy of endovascular techniques in the treatment of SHA aneurysms. MATERIALS AND METHODS Medical charts and initial and follow-up angiograms were reviewed retrospectively for all patients ...

INTRODUCTION Expressing exogenous genes after naked DNA delivery into hepatocytes might achieve sustained and high expression of human proteins. Tail vein DNA injection is an efficient procedure for gene transfer in murine liver. Hydrodynamic procedures in large animals require organ targeting, and improve with liver vascular exclusion. In the present study, two closed liver hydrofection models...

Recently, the endovascular approach in abdominal aorta aneurysm (AAA) management has become a more popular and alternative to open surgery, mainly when is achieved proper patients that comfortable for both patient surgeon. In this case, our developed Type III endoleak complication after 2 years of Endovascular repair (EVAR) procedure was treated by surgery combined graft technique.

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to determine the cause and frequency of aneurysm rupture after endovascular aneurysm repair. METHODS We reviewed each patient who sustained aneurysm rupture among all patients enrolled for endovascular aortic aneurysm repair in phases I, II, and III of the US AneuRx Multicenter Clinical Trial from June 1996 through October 1999. RESULTS A total of 106...

PURPOSE This study aims to review the incidence of in-stent restenosis (ISR), the factors which determine restenosis, and to evaluate the use of various endovascular techniques for the management of ISR following carotid artery stenting (CAS). METHODS Four hundred and seven patients (334 men, mean age 63 years, range 46-86, median 65 years) were treated with CAS between December 2000 and Marc...
