Emergency Endovascular Treatment of Petrous Carotid Artery False Aneurysm
2015
Abstract Introduction The management of ruptured intracranial false aneurysms (IFAs) might be tricky as any kind of treatment modality, surgical or endovascular, is burdened with significant challenges. A case report of the endovascular treatment of IFA in emergency setting is presented to provide more understanding of its pathophysiology as well as of the best operative work-up for petrous carotid artery reconstruction. Methods Technical notes from a left sided skull base abscess, involving and eroding the carotid canal and petrous carotid artery (PCA) resulting in an IFA are shown and analyzed. Results Balloon-assisted low viscosity Onyx embolization seems an effective method for the emer…
Endovascular Treatment of Superficial Femoral and Proximal Popliteal Arteries Lesions
2019
Abstract Mechanical stress due to flexion-extension in the femoropopliteal space may cause stent failure via stent fracture and thrombosis. Wire-Interwoven self-expanding Nitinol Stents design partially mimics the reticular structure of native vessels, emphasizing radial strength, flexibility and kink resistance; these stent features can offer more chances for short and long term patency. We have evaluated 5 patients with peripheral artery disease with significant superficial femoral artery or proximal popliteal artery lesions. All patients underwent endovascular therapy with Wire-Interwoven self-expanding Nitinol Stents, with primary focus on stent patency at follow-up visits (1, 6, 12 mon…
Simultaneous endovascular treatment of synchronous symptomatic acute type B aortic dissection and large infrarenal aortic aneurysm. Technical tips an…
2020
Highlights • Acute type B aortic dissection associated with AAA, has a high rupture risk. • This complicated dissection must be considered for treatment as quickly. • This approach can be performed endovascularly when supraaortic trunks are involved. • Totally endovascular solution to address both disease is feasible.

Endovascular Treatment of Giant Visceral Aneurysms: An Overview
2021
Giant visceral aneurysms (or pseudoaneurysms) are aneurysmal lesions of the splanchnic vessels that are larger than 5 cm in diameter. As with other visceral aneurysms, treatment may be either surgical or endovascular. Both treatments face challenges given the anatomical complexity of such lesions. However, in the era of novel tools and techniques that have been developed in this field, an increasing number of giant visceral aneurysms can now be treated using endovascular approaches. The purpose of this article is to offer an overview of the most current techniques and trends in the endovascular treatment of giant visceral artery aneurysms.
Endovascular thrombectomy with the AngioJet System for the treatment of intermediate-risk acute pulmonary embolism: a case report of two patients
2016
Acute pulmonary embolism (PE) is one of the leading causes of death and ranks third, after myocardial infarction and cerebral stroke, among fatal hospital-related cardiovascular events [1–3]. Mortality associated with PE can be lowered by early treatments aimed at restoring patency of occluded pulmonary arteries (PAs). Although systemic thrombolysis remains the recommended management of PE [4], recent advances in endovascular techniques, especially of rheolytic thrombectomy, suggest that the endovascular approach can represent an alternative therapeutic strategy [5–9]. Here we describe endovascular treatment of two patients with acute PE. We used the AngioJet (Boston Scientific, Natick, MA,…
Image-Guided Mini-Invasive Treatments for Vascular and Oncologic Diseases: Embolization Therapy
2020
Transcatheter Embolization, also called Embolotherapy, is a mini-invasive, non-surgical therapeutic solution used in Interventional Radiology to close blood vessels deliberately. A wide range of embolic agents is available in clinical practice, including metal coils and liquid agents. More recent advances in biomaterials such as shape-memory foam and in-situ gelling solutions have led to the development of new pre-clinical embolic agents. This review offers a brief overview of current and emerging technologies in the field of endovascular embolization. The focus is on devices, materials and techniques.
Klassifikation und Therapie von Endolecks nach endovaskulärer Behandlung von abdominellen Aortenaneurysmen
2005
This article describes the classification of endoleaks after endovascular treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysms, thereby summarizing the most important problems of this endovascular technique. The correct classification of endoleaks is a prerequisite for interdisciplinary discussion. It is indispensable for professional reporting of the pathological findings and for the decision making as to the adequate treatment of endoleaks. Irrespective of the types of stent graft and property of the material, five endoleak types are defined in the literature: leakage at the anchor sites (type I); leakage due to collateral arteries (type II); defective stent grafts (type III); leakage due to porosity …
Endovascular management of a large aneurysm of the superior vena cava involving internal thoracic vein with remodeling technique
2016
International audience; We report a case describing endovascular treatment of a large aneurysm of the superior vena cava involving internal thoracic vein. The goal of this case report is to highlight the contributing role of embolization with remodeling technique in such an exceptional condition.
