Objective: Iliocaval thrombotic obstruction is a challenging condition, especially because thrombus age and corresponding pathological remodeling at presentation are unknown, which directly impacts management. Our aim was to assess the ability of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in determining age thresholds of experimentally created inferior vena cava (IVC) thrombosis in pigs.
Methods: We used a previously described swine model of IVC thrombosis.
Introduction: The treatment of chronic postdissection aneurysms of the aortic arch is a challenge. This study aims to describe false lumen management after aortic arch endovascular repair of post-type A dissection aneurysms treated with a branched endograft.
Methods: In this single-center retrospective observational study, all consecutive patients undergoing endovascular treatment of aneurysmal degeneration of chronic type A aortic dissections following open repair were enrolled.
Objective: To develop a large animal model of iliocaval deep venous thrombosis (DVT), which enables development and evaluation of interventional management and existing imaging modalities.
Methods: The experimental protocol consisted of a total endovascular approach. Pigs were percutaneously accessed through the right internal jugular and bilateral femoral veins.
Introduction: Radiation-induced arteriopathy (RIA) is a rare complication but may become more common due to the increased use of radiotherapy and the prolonged survival of patients. There is still a lack of evidence concerning treatment options. The aim of this study is to review reported cases of lower-limb RIA in order to provide guidelines for management.
