Objective: Endothermal ablation is well-established for the treatment of the great and small saphenous veins. Data are lacking for treatment of the anterior accessory saphenous vein (AASV). The purpose of this study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of AASV treatment using endothermal ablation.

Type II endoleaks (T2Es) are most common and may cause sac expansion. We report outcomes of translumbar embolization (TLE) of T2Es following EVAR.

Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome is a rare vascular disorder which includes leg swelling, or lower extremity deep venous reflux/thrombosis as a presenting symptom. May-Thurner syndrome is also a rare pathology involving compression of the left common iliac vein, usually by the right common iliac artery. The incidence of concomitant occurrence of these entities is unknown and not well reported.

In patients unable to undergo open surgical repair (OSR), the use of endografts outside the instructions for use might be the only option. We present the case of a woman with a highly angulated infrarenal AAA neck who was unsuitable for OSR and was successfully treated using a Gore C-TAG conformable thoracic stent graft (W.

This ischemic complication was likely caused by sheath occlusion because the patient had no evidence of arterial injury or distal plaque embolization.
