Objective: Renal percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) treatment of renal artery stenosis has been performed worldwide since 1978, but it is still a matter of debate as to what extent the patients benefit from the procedure in terms of quality of life and long-term survival.
Material And Methods: Of 139 patients referred for renal angioplasty owing to hypertension or pending uraemia, 105 were subsequently treated with PTA. Eighty-eight patients survived for 5 years.
Purpose: To describe an endovascular technique that allows stent-graft treatment of aortoiliac aneurysmal disease affecting both common iliac arteries (CIA), with maintenance of pelvic circulation on one side.
Technique: For patients with aortoiliac aneurysms, both common femoral arteries (CFA) were surgically exposed. One internal iliac artery (IIA) was initially embolized with coils.
Purpose: To evaluate the initial experience of endovascular repair of aortic dissections from a single center.
Materials And Methods: From June 1999 to March 2002, endovascular stent grafting was performed in 20 high-risk patients (16 to 80 years). Eighteen patients had a type B dissection (14 acute and 4 chronic).
