Use and durability of femoral vein for autologous reconstruction with infection of the aortoiliofemoral axis.
2014
Objective To analyze early and late mortality, venous morbidity, reinfection, and freedom from reintervention after using the femoral vein (FV) for vascular reconstruction with infection of the aortoiliofemoral axis. Methods By reviewing our database, 86 patients could be identified with implantation of FV grafts in infected fields between November 1995 and July 2012. The patient records were retrospectively analyzed and follow-up information obtained from patients or their general physician. Seventy-one patients presented with prosthetic graft infection and 15 with an infected aneurysm. For data analysis, patients were divided into an aortoiliac (n = 67) and a femoral group (n = 19).

A multicenter 12-month experience with a new iliac side-branched device for revascularization of hypogastric arteries.
2016
Abstract Objective The aim of this study was to investigate the 1-year safety and efficacy of a new iliac side-branched device (IBD) for revascularization of the hypogastric arteries. Methods Patients receiving the E-liac (Jotec GmbH, Hechingen, Germany) side-branched device at six German vascular centers either as a stand-alone procedure or in combination with abdominal aortic aneurysm exclusion were included in a prospectively created data bank. Collected data were analyzed for baseline characteristics, procedural events, and clinical follow-up; variables included endoleaks, reinterventions, and internal iliac artery (IIA) patency. Results Between January 2012 and January 2015, a total of…
Initial Experience in the Treatment of Extensive Iliac Artery Aneurysms With the Nellix Aneurysm Sealing System.
2016
Purpose: To assess the feasibility and effectiveness of the Nellix prosthesis in the treatment of common iliac artery aneurysms. Methods: Between May 2013 and June 2015, 230 patients underwent implantation of the Nellix device at 2 institutions. Fifty of these patients (mean age 76 years; 35 men) were identified as having 60 common iliac artery aneurysms (CIAAs) with a median diameter of 4 cm (range 3.5–7). The majority of patients had aortoiliac aneurysms (5, 70%), 10 (20%) had isolated CIAAs, and 5 (10%) had iliac anastomotic aneurysms after aortoiliac bypass. In 20 patients, the iliac aneurysm was the indication for the intervention; in the other 30 patients, the endovascular iliac repa…
Mycotic Aneurysm of Both Internal Iliac Arteries due to Candida albicans.
2013
International audience; : We report the case of a 21-year-old man, with a Candida-related endocarditis causing multiple emboli and bilateral false aneurysms of the internal iliac arteries. As the distal runoff vasculatures of both internal iliac arteries were occluded, these arteries required ligation. Although there were few consequences with the procedure, multiple emboli and recurrence of endocarditis after cardiac surgery led to the patient's death.
A wire-loop technique for implantation of an iliac branched device in a patient with previous surgery for a ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm
2013
We described a modified technique for implanting a bridging stent-graft into an iliac branched device. A 79-year-old male who had received aortobiiliac synthetic graft surgery for a ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm six months earlier was admitted to our unit for treatment of a left common iliac aneurysm involving the origin of the hypogastric artery. A standard technique was unsuccessful at implanting the bridging stent-graft, and therefore a wire-loop guidewire over the graft bifurcation was used to stabilize the contralateral sheaths and to complete the implantation. © Turkish Society of Radiology 2012.
Treating iliac aneurysm using the Nellix Endovascular Sac Sealing System.
2016
As endovascular treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysms has become established, there has been growing focus on treatment of the aneurysmal iliac artery. Isolated, large iliac aneurysms >30 mm pose a risk of rupture, but, in addition, 20% to 30% of abdominal aortic aneurysms are associated with iliac aneurysmal dilatation, which can compromise long-term outcomes. Endovascular solutions are evolving and until recently have utilized standard stent graft technology. The endovascular aortic sealing system was introduced as a new, effective method for the treatment of infrarenal aortic aneurysms. In this article, we present our recent extended use of the Nellix system, with or without a combinat…
Comparative ergonomic workflow and user experience analysis of MRI versus fluoroscopy-guided vascular interventions: an iliac angioplasty exemplar ca…
2014
A methodological framework is introduced to assess and compare a conventional fluoroscopy protocol for peripheral angioplasty with a new magnetic resonant imaging (MRI)-guided protocol. Different scenarios were considered during interventions on a perfused arterial phantom with regard to time-based and cognitive task analysis, user experience and ergonomics. Three clinicians with different expertise performed a total of 43 simulated common iliac angioplasties (9 fluoroscopic, 34 MRI-guided) in two blocks of sessions. Six different configurations for MRI guidance were tested in the first block. Four of them were evaluated in the second block and compared to the fluoroscopy protocol. Relevant…
