Combined Endovascular Repair of a Giant Symptomatic Hepatic Aneurysm: A Case Report and Comprehensive Literature Review.

Hepatic artery aneurysms (HAAs) are an uncommon vascular disease, which account for 20% of visceral artery aneurysms. The majority are usually asymptomatic and discovered accidentally during imaging control, but occasionally, they can present as acute abdominal pain, haemobilia, obstructive jaundice, or gastrointestinal bleeding due to aneurysm sac expansion or rupture with catastrophic consequences. We present the case of a 51-year-old male patient with a giant common HAA of 11.

Study Protocol of a Prospective, Monocentric, Single-Arm Study Investigating the Correlation of Endograft Properties with Aortic Stiffness in Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Patients Subjected to Endovascular Aortic Repair.

The number of endovascular aortic repairs (EVARs) has surpassed the number of open surgical repairs of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) worldwide. The available commercial endoprostheses are composed of materials that are stiffer than the native aortic wall. As a consequence, the implantation of stent-graft endoprostheses during EVAR increases aortic rigidity and thus aortic stiffness, resulting in a decrease in abdominal aorta compliance.

One-Year Outcomes of CGuard Double Mesh Stent in Carotid Artery Disease: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

: Prospective single and multicenter studies have shown improved outcomes of patients who underwent carotid artery stenting with the novel CGuard dual-layer mesh stent at 1 year. : The aim of this study is to conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis of all published studies to assess 1-year efficacy and outcomes of CGuard in patients with carotid stenting. Methods: A systematic search was performed.

12-Month Outcomes of Carotid Artery Stenting With CGuard MicroNET-Covered Stent: A Single-Center Study in 113 Patients.

Dual layer mesh stents constitute a novel treatment option for patients who undergo carotid artery stenting (CAS). The aim of this prospective study is to report 12 month outcomes of patients who underwent CAS with CGuard (Inspire MD, Tel Aviv, Israel) microNET self-expanding stent with embolic protection system in a tertiary center from October 2018 to March 2022. Primary endpoints included in-stent restenosis >70% verified by ultrasound (DUS), ipsilateral transient ischemic attack (TIA), and stroke at 12 months.

Endograft Anaconda in Endovascular Aneurysm Repair: A Systematic Review of Literature and Meta-Analysis.

Backgound: The number of endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm repairs (EVARs) has surpassed the number of open surgical repair of AAAs worldwide with a great variety of endografts being available. The aim of this study is to conduct a systematic review of the literature and meta-analysis of studies reporting patients with infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) subjected to EVAR with the Anaconda endograft.

Methods: We performed a systematic review of multiple electronic databases for studies including patients with infrarenal AAA who were subjected to elective EVAR with Anaconda endograft exclusively.

Outcomes of the Ankura Stent Graft for Endovascular Repair of Infrarenal Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm.

Objective: The purpose of this retrospective cohort study is to report outcomes of endovascular aortic repair (EVAR) with the novel endograft, Ankura (Lifetech Scientific, Shenzen, China).

Methods: We identified all patients who underwent elective EVAR with Ankura stent graft in a tertiary unit from January 2015 to November 2021. Patients with ruptured infrarenal and juxtarenal aortic aneurysms were excluded from the study.

Polymer Free Amphilimus Drug Eluting Stent for Infrapopliteal Arterial Disease in Patients with Critical Limb Ischemia: A New Device in the Armamentarium.

Endovascular technologies have significantly improved the outcome of patients with critical limb ischemia (CLI). Drug eluting stents (DES) have documented their efficacy against percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) and bare metal stents (BMS) in infrapopliteal arterial occlusive disease. However, late in-stent neoatherosclerosis may lead to vascular lumen loss and eventually thrombosis.

One-year outcomes following primary stenting of infrapopliteal steno-occlusive arterial disease using a non-polymer sirolimus-eluting stent: Results from a prospective single-centre cohort study.

Background: Clinical outcomes using new generation drug-eluting stents designed specifically for infrapopliteal disease are not widely available, especially in comparison to paclitaxel-based therapies. This series reports 1-year outcomes in patients with diabetes and chronic limb threatening ischaemia (CLTI) undergoing angioplasty, with a sirolimus-eluting tibial stent (Cre8, Alvimedica, Turkey), evaluating the feasibility, safety, and efficacy of this new device. Outcomes were compared to matched patients undergoing infrapopliteal angioplasty using a paclitaxel-coated balloon (DCB).
