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...

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 aneur...

conclusions considering the unique construct of the powerlink stents, this is thought to represent aneurysmal degeneration of the outer fabric material from the metal struts and may potentially pressurize the excluded sac with risk for rupture. case presentation a 65-year-old woman who had endovascular aortic repair (evar) of an abdominal aortic aneurysm with endologix powerlink system develope...

isolated bilateral internal iliac artery (iia) aneurysm is a rare and potentially lethal disease. endovascular repair of this disorder is a matter of debate. a symptomatic 68-year-old male presented with severe pelvic pains. computed tomography revealed a leaking 46-mm aneurysm in the right iia, a 27-mm aneurysm in the left iia, and ectatic changes at a diameter of 31 mm in the right common ili...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate mid-term survival in patients undergoing elective fenestrated endovascular aneurysm repair and standard endovascular aneurysm repair for abdominal aortic aneurysm. METHODS Consecutive patients treated from 2007 to 2011 with elective fenestrated endovascular aneurysm repair (n = 81) and endovascular aneurysm repair (n = 201) were evaluated concerning age, cardiovascular m...

background a gunshot wound to the lower extremity with combined skeletal and vascular injuries can be difficult to manage. in clinical practice, it is not always possible to assemble a multispecialty team to work seamlessly to attain this goal, and the end result may be unnecessary prolonged ischemic time. a covered endovascular stent (evs) can be used initially to restore perfusion without nee...
