Background: Hybrid Deep Venous ARterialisation (DVAR) is offered as a last-ditch attempt for limb salvage in patients with chronic limb threatening ischemia (CLTI). It provides non-selective arterialisation independent of the angiosome, which harnesses the complex venous capillary network bed developed in the leg and foot.
Methods: We present two elderly men who underwent DVAR to salvage limb with CLTI.
Background: Thoracic and abdominal aortic stent grafts are firmer and more rigid than the native aorta. Aortic implanted devices have been implicated in the development of acute systolic hypertension, elevated pulse pressure, and reduced coronary perfusion.
Case Summary: We report four cases of staged thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) and then endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR).
We present a 54-year-old Caucasian woman, who presented with acute symptomatic type B aortic dissection with deteriorating renal function. She was a known smoker with a 2-year history of dysphagia. CT angiography documented the artery of lusoria arising from the mid-thoracic aorta, aneurysmal dilation of her descending aorta, and kinetic and static flaps around her visceral ostia.
