SUBINTIMAL RECANALIZATION AND STENTING FOR LONG SUPERFICIAL FEMORAL ARTERY OCCLUSIONS

2007

Objective: To assess the feasibility and mid-term outcome of combined subintimal recanalization and stenting for the treatment of long superficialFebruary, and then Protégé® EverFlexTM) were placed in the whole subintimal space. The number and the length of stents was dictated from the length of the intentional subintimal dissection. The site of re-entry was chosen without compromise the feasibilty of a future bypass grafting. When completion arteriogram revealed residual stenosis, a post-dilatation was performed. Results: Twenty-eight patients (90.3%) underwent successful procedures, whereas two attempts failed because of inability to pass the guidewire through SFA occlusion and one becaus…

THE POSTERIOR APPROACH IN THE REPAIR OF POPLITEAL ARTERY ANEURYSMS: A TWO CENTER EXPERIENCE

2010

Objective: Popliteal artery aneurysms (PAA) are most frequent among peripheral aneurysms. The most commonly performed surgical repair is proximal and distal ligation with a saphenous vein bypass. We aim to report the early and mid-term outcome of surgical repair of popliteal artery aneurysms via a posterior approach. Methods: A retrospective review of consecutive patients who underwent surgical PAA repair in two vascular surgery units between 1998 and 2009 was performed. Within this group, the posterior approach was used in 28 repairs in 26 patients (25 men). All patients had an ultrasound examination. Eighteen patients underwent conventional angiography while CT angiography with 3-D recons…

Emergency endovascular repair of an acute aortocaval fistula with AAA: Case report and review of the literature

2009

A 72-year-old man with sudden abdominal pain and congestive cardiac failure presented a high-flow aortocaval fistula with a large abdominal aortic aneurysm as detected by Duplex ultrasonography and computed tomography angiography. As the patient’s multiple comorbidities precluded open repair, an emergency left aortouniiliac stent-graft deployment and femoro-femoral crossover bypass grafting were performed. Notwithstanding, incomplete exclusion of the fistula due to a small inflow from the contralateral iliac axis, the patient’s cardiac overload decreased with a rapid resolution of cardiac failure, allowing for a staged ligation of the right iliac artery with a complete occlusion of the aort…
