Mycotic aortic aneurysms account for 1–3% of all aortic aneurysms. The management of this disease is controversial. Since open surgical repair is associated with high morbidity and mortality rates, endovascular aneurysm repair is an alternative treatment method with promising early and midterm outcomes, although its long-term durability is unknown.Secondary aortoenteric fistulas may occur iatro...

central nervous system infection is a rare complication of endovascular procedures. we report a 21-year-old woman presented with headache, nausea, vomiting, and right-sided hemiparesis 4 months after endovascular embolization of cerebral arteriovenous malformation. investigations led to the diagnosis of multiple brain abscesses. this is the sixth case report of brain abscess following endovascu...

 Abstract Traumatic descending thoracic aorta pseudo aneurysms have been treated traditionally with open surgery in the past, which have had noticeable rates of mortality and morbidity. A safer method of treatment for this disease is made possible with recent progress in endovascular treatment techniques. In this article, we present three cases of Traumatic descending thoracic aorta pseudo aneu...

acute aortic dissection (aad) is the most frequent catastrophic event of the aorta; it occurs nearly three times as frequently as the rupture of abdominal aortic aneurysm . sixty percent of dissection cases are classified as proximal or type a and 40% as distal or type b, according to the stanford classification. the most frequent causes of death in acute type b dissection are aortic rupture an...

objectives: the aim of this retrospective observational study was to identify local and clinical factors related to the need of surgical repair. patients and methods: in this retrospective study, 122 (0.06%) fpas treated among 21060 patients over a period of five years were assessed. patient characteristics and therapeutic procedures were analyzed through hospital records. results: there were 1...

conclusions small dose of clopidogrel (75 mg) may lead to rare, life-threatening dah, so physicians should be aware of the possibility of dah after neurointervention in patients who have respiratory distress, worsening alveolar infiltrates accompanied by hemoptysis. introduction diffuse alveolar hemorrhage (dah) is a very rare complication but acute and life-threatening event. clopidogrel has g...

conclusion metallic stent placement is a safe and effective procedure for salvage of native hemodialysis fistula after unsuccessful balloon angioplasty. results twenty-one stents were applied. the anatomical and clinical success rate was 100%. seventeen additional interventions were done for 11 (55%) patients due to stent thrombosis or stenosis during follow-up. our 1- and 2-year secondary pate...

introduction: to compare endovenous laser ablation (evla) and radiofrequency ablation (rfa) in different legs in the same individual in patients with venous insufficiency. methods: sixty patients with bilateral saphenous vein insufficiency were included. evla or rfa was applied to one of the patient’s legs and rfa or evla to the other leg. results: evla and rfa complications were hyperemia at 2...

aortobronchial fistula (abf) is a rare and late complication of cardiac surgery. if untreated, mortality rate is approximately 100% secondary to exsanguinations haemoptysis. early diagnosis and treatment are essential for successful management. open surgical repair is associated with high morbidity and mortality rate, ranging from 25% to 41%. endovascular treatments of abf is a less invasive tr...
