September 2024
Background: Many cases of chronic thoracic central vein occlusion (CVO) fail to recanalize using the standard conventional guidewire technique. This study aims to present the outcomes of sharp recanalization with a transseptal needle in chronic thoracic CVO.
Methods: This retrospective study involved 22 hemodialysis patients who developed clinical signs and symptoms of CVO, had unsuccessful conventional endovascular treatment using guidewire, and underwent sharp recanalization with a transseptal needle from January 2018 to December 2021.
Article Synopsis
- This study compares endovascular aortic repair (EVAR) and open surgery for treating infective native aortic aneurysms (INAA), finding that EVAR offers better survival rates but carries risks of infection-related complications (IRCs).
- Researchers reviewed clinical and CT data from patients treated with EVAR between 2005 and 2020, analyzing factors that may predict the likelihood of developing IRCs post-surgery.
- Key predictors for long-term IRCs identified include female sex, renal issues, positive blood cultures, aneurysm size, and involvement of surrounding tissues, with a prediction model achieving a C-index of 0.76.
(1) Background: The risk factors of peri-intervention stroke (PIS) in thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) and endovascular abdominal aortic repair (EVAR) are different. This study aimed to compare the risks of PIS in both interventions. (2) Methods: Patients who had suffered a PIS related to TEVAR or EVAR from January 2008 to June 2015 in Songklanagarind Hospital were selected as the cases, while patients who had not suffered PIS were randomly selected to create a 1:4 case: control ratio for analysis.

Materials And Methods: A total of 14 patients (seven men and seven women; median age 70 years; range of 50-83 years) with significant restenosis of hemodialysis accesses were enrolled from January 2017 to December 2018. A total of 10 arteriovenous graft (AVG) and four arteriovenous fistulae were treated with DES.
Purpose: To identify risk factors for late-occurring branch occlusion following multibranched endovascular repair of thoracoabdominal and pararenal aortic aneurysm.
Method: Out of 120 patients who underwent multibranched endovascular aneurysm repair between September 2005 and May 2013, 100 (78 men; mean age 72.4 ± 7.
Objective: To determine the outcome of endovascular therapy for an infected aortic aneurysm in patients with or without aorto-aerodigestive/aortocaval fistulas.
Methods: From September 2005 to May 2010, 21 patients, 17 abdominal and four thoracic infected aortic aneurysms were treated with an endovascular stent graft at Songklanagarind Hospital, Thailand. Five patients presented with fistula complications, 1 aortoesophageal, 1 aortobronchial, 1 aortocaval, and 2 aortoenteric fistulas.
