Feasibility of Percutaneous Ultrasound Guided Intervention with Direct Access in Failing Infrainguinal Vein Bypass Grafts.

Background: Patients with infrainguinal venous bypass grafts are at risk of graft stenosis leading to thrombosis and failure of the graft conduit. When primary assisted reintervention is needed, a common first choice of treatment is percutaneous angioplasty using fluoroscopy and digital subtraction angiography (DSA). We investigated whether percutaneous ultrasound-guided intervention (PUSGI) is feasible for such endovascular reinterventions.

The Real-World CONSEQUENT ALL COMERS Study: Predictors for Target Lesion Revascularization and Mortality in an Unselected Patient Population.

We evaluated the safety and efficacy of a resveratrol-paclitaxel-coated peripheral balloon catheter in an all-comer patient cohort undergoing endovascular treatment of above-the-knee and below-the-knee peripheral artery disease. CONSEQUENT ALL COMERS (Clinical Post-Market Clinical Follow-up [PMCF] on Peripheral Arteries treated with SeQuent Please OTW [Over-the Wire]) is a prospective, single-arm, multicenter observational study (ClinicalTrials Identifier: NCT02460042). The primary end point was the 12-month target lesion revascularization (TLR) rate.

Endovascular Treatment of Chronic and Acute on Chronic Mesenteric Ischaemia: Results From a National Cohort of 245 Cases.

Objective: Endovascular treatment of chronic mesenteric ischaemia (CMI) is linked to low early morbidity and mortality but a higher risk of recurrence than open repair. Mid and long term outcomes after endovascular treatment remain to be proven in larger series. The aim of this study was to assess short and mid term outcome after first line endovascular revascularisation of CMI and acute on chronic mesenteric ischaemia (AoCMI).
