Endoluminal treatment of infrarenal aortic aneurysms: clinical experience with the Talent stent-graft system.

Purpose: To evaluate the safety and efficacy of the Talent stent-graft (TSG) system in the endoluminal treatment of infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs).

Patients And Methods: Endoluminal treatment of an AAA was attempted in 30 men with a mean age of 70.5 years (range, 51-83 years).

Aneurysms of hemodialysis access grafts: treatment with covered stents: a report of three cases.

Three patients with dialysis access graft shunts, having a symptomatic pseudoaneurysm and a hemodynamically significant stenosis at the anastomosis between the graft shunt and the subclavian vein, were treated with percutaneous transluminal angioplasty and insertion of a Wallstent. Pseudoaneurysms were excluded by percutaneous insertion of a Cragg Endo-Pro stent-graft with a diameter of 6 mm and a length of 6-10 cm. All three aneurysms were excluded successfully.
