The use of thoracic stent grafts for endovascular repair of abdominal aortic aneurysms.

Objectives Stent grafts for endovascular repair of infrarenal aneurysms are commercially available for aortic necks up to 32 mm in diameter. The aim of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of endovascular repair with large thoracic stent grafts in the infrarenal position to obtain adequate proximal seal in wider necks. Methods All patients who underwent endovascular aneurysm repair using thoracic stent grafts with diameters greater than 36 mm between 2012 and 2016 were included.

Comparison of a collagen plug arterial closure device with manual compression after endovascular interventions for peripheral artery disease.

Objective: Arterial closure devices (ACDs) seem to be safe and effective to obtain hemostasis for cardiac interventions and diagnostic vascular procedures. However, only limited evidence is presented on therapeutic interventions in patients with peripheral atherosclerotic disease. We compared ischemic and hemorrhagic complications of an ACD vs manual compression (MC) after puncture of the femoral artery for endovascular lower extremity procedures.
