We present a case of a CT-fusion-guided endovascular repair of an iatrogenic common iliac artery aneurysm in a 60-year-old male with a history of robotic prostatectomy with wide lymphadenectomy. Taking into account iatrogenic nature, rapid evolvement, previous surgical intervention, and oncological history, our team, including vascular and endovascular surgeons, refused open surgery in favor of endovascular iliac repair. We coiled the ipsilateral hypogastric artery and then deployed 2 Fluency Plus stent grafts from the common iliac into the external iliac artery.

We present a case of a 40-years-old female with human epidermal growth factor receptor type 2 (HER2)-positive breast cancer and implanted Groshong PICC (BARD). The patient was admitted for an elective chest and abdomen CT angiography control after finishing her trastuzumab and paclitaxel chemotherapy course a month earlier.

Several authors described nonstandard revascularization techniques in acute ischemic strokes due to basilar and middle cerebral arteries occlusions with full technical and clinical success. In this report, we present retrograde right vertebral artery recanalization using left posterior communicating artery for subsequent anterograde balloon angioplasty and stenting of a right vertebral artery ostium followed by full vertebrobasilar blood flow restoration.
