Endovascular Treatment of Venous Bypass Graft Pseudoaneurysm with the New Solaris Self-Expanding Covered Stent.

Nonanastomotic pseudoaneurysm formation after vascular reconstruction is a rarely encountered problem. Covered stent graft constitutes a minimal approach. To our knowledge, the present study constitutes the first case of implantation of Solaris stent graft in Europe.

Total Laparoscopic Inferior Mesenteric Artery Ligation and Direct Sac Puncture Embolization Technique for Treatment of Type II Endoleak.

Type II endoleak relates to aneurysm perfusion through a patent branch vessel. Reintervention for type II endoleak should be considered in the presence of significant aneurysm growth. Recurrences and subsequent reinterventions are frequent by occult type II endoleaks through feeder arterial branches.

Laparoscopic treatment of median arcuate ligament syndrome: a systematic review.

Introduction: Median arcuate ligament syndrome (MALS) is an uncommon condition caused by the extrinsic compression of the celiac trunk (CT) and celiac ganglion, secondary to an anatomical abnormality of the median arcuate ligament fibers. It is characterized by postprandial epigastric pain, chronic abdominal pain, weight loss, nausea and vomiting. MALS is typically diagnosed after the exclusion of other, more common conditions; however, a variety of imaging and diagnostic modalities, including Duplex ultrasonography, computed tomography angiography, magnetic resonance angiography, gastric tonometry and angiography can suggest findings consistent with MALS.

Endovascular Treatment of Popliteal Artery Occlusion Caused by a Ruptured Supera Interwoven Nitinol Stent.

The Supera peripheral stent system has a woven wire design that may confer a potential advantage and has higher resistive radial strength of traditional stents, which gives it the ability to avoid kinking. Because a stent is a permanent implant in the target vessels and they would be subjected to a wide variety of torsion, compression, and stress, a rupture is not surprising. Only three cases of ruptured Supera stents have been published in literature.
