Endovascular management of the deep venous thrombosis: A new challenging role for the endovascular specialist in 2020
2020
Over the last years, the endovascular approach to the management of the acute and chronic deep vein thrombosis (DVT) has gained more and more attention from the scientific community. DVT is the third most common cardiovascular disease after coronary heart disease and stroke, with classic treatment based on anticoagulation. Recent evidences have highlighted the risk of postthrombotic syndrome as high as 30%-50% in proximal ilio-femoral lesions, with irreversible clinical symptoms and impact on the quality of life of the population. Since 2000s, the new concept of thrombus removal in the acute phase has been supported by the introduction of different techniques based on the endovascular ablat…
Endovascular mechanical thrombectomy of the inferior vena cava and iliac veins with the use of Aspirex®S device in a paediatric patient
2017
Phlegmasia cerulea dolens, which is the most severe clinical presentation of deep venous thrombosis and results from an almost complete occlusion of the major and collateral venous outflow routes from the extremity, is very rarely seen in children. Here we describe the treatment of an 11-year-old boy with Down syndrome who presented with thrombotic occlusion of the inferior vena cava and both iliac veins. We present a step-by-step technique of endovascular mechanical thrombectomy of these veins with the use of the Aspirex®S thrombectomy device. Endovascular treatment was followed by local intravenous thrombolysis. Because of recurrent thrombosis, which occurred 4 days later, endovascular th…
EP1299 Laparoscopic – laterally extended pelvic resection
2019
Introduction/Background Lateral isolated gynecological cancer infiltrating the pelvic side wall (PSW) has been considered as a not operable surgery with poor oncological outcome. The development of the laterally extended endopelvic resection (LEER) and surgical progress for disease overcoming the endopelvic fascia infiltrating muscles and nerves, have achieved the possibility to treat those patients with a curative intent. We describe for the first time the feasibility of laparoscopic laterally extended pelvic resection (L-LEPR), with complete removal of disease. Methodology LEPR was defined as an en bloc lateral resection of a pelvic tumor involving sidewall muscle, and/or bone, and/or maj…
Para-aortic lymphadenectomy in abnormal common iliac bifurcation
2021
A 60-year-old-woman was diagnosed with serous endometrial cancer and on pre-operative CT there was evidence of a higher confluence of the common iliac veins in the inferior vena cava ([Figure 1][1]). Due to the presence of ascites (800 mL) and of a neoplastic ileal nodule at laparoscopy, to avoid
