Article Synopsis
  • The study discusses a unique case of a type III endoleak caused by improper placement of a bridging stent during fenestrated endovascular aneurysm repair (FEVAR).
  • The issue arose when a balloon expandable covered stent was deployed incorrectly through the superior mesenteric artery fenestration, resulting in an endoleak via the left renal artery.
  • Successful treatment involved using a re-entry catheter to access the misplaced stent and placing a new stent, leading to complete resolution of the endoleak and maintained blood flow in the renal artery, providing insights for future clinical practices.

Purpose: Endovascular revascularization is the preferred treatment to improve perfusion of the lower extremity in patients with chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI). Patients with CLTI often present with stenotic-occlusive lesions involving the infrapopliteal arteries. Although the frequency of treating infrapopliteal lesions is increasing, the reintervention rates remain high.

Tibio-peroneal trunk (TPT) lesions are usually categorized as 'complex' in anatomical classifications, which leads to the perception that endovascular therapy (EVT) will be challenging and the outcome most likely poor. This multicenter, retrospective cohort study investigates the efficacy of the EVT of TPT lesions in patients with chronic limb threatening ischemia (CLTI) or an infrapopliteal bypass at risk. The primary endpoint was limb-salvage.

Objective: Tentorial dural arteriovenous fistulas usually drain into cortical veins and often present with hemorrhage. Treatment goal is occlusion of the draining vein, either by surgery or endovascular techniques. We present the multimodality treatment results of 12 patients with tentorial dural arteriovenous fistulas.

Background and purpose Dural arteriovenous fistulas (DAVFs) with cortical venous drainage often present with hemorrhage or neurological deficits and prompt treatment is indicated. Disconnection of the draining vein is considered curative. We present the multimodality treatment results of 35 patients with cranial DAVFs with exclusive cortical venous drainage.
