Endovascular and Surgical Management of Subclavian Artery Occlusive Disease: Early and Long-Term Outcomes.

Background: The aim of the study was to report early and late outcomes of surgical and endovascular management of subclavian artery atherosclerotic disease (SAAD).

Methods: Data about consecutive patients treated for subclavian artery atherosclerotic occlusive disease between 2001 and 2018 either by open surgical repair (OSR) or by endovascular repair (ER) were retrospectively collected and analyzed. Primary outcomes included 30-day death, as well as cardiac and neurologic events, reported separately for occlusion and stenosis.

[Revascularization of supra-aortic trunks in Takayasu's arteritis].

Introduction: Takayasu's disease is an inflammatory arteritis mainly affecting the aorta, its main divisional branches and pulmonary arteries. The arterial damage during Takayasu's disease is essentially occlusive and preferentially affects supra-aortic trunks. Indications for revascularization of supra-aortic trunks are clear but results are rarely reported.

Hybrid Repair of a Saccular Aortic Arch Aneurysm Ruptured in the Left Pulmonary Bronchus.

The rupture of aortic arch aneurysm is rare but serious and a life-threatening pathologic condition. We report a case of an 80-year-old woman who was admitted to our department for a rupture of a saccular aortic arch aneurysm in the left pulmonary bronchus. There was no landing zone in the aortic arch.

Endovascular repair of inflammatory aortic aneuvrysm.

Introduction: While open repair was the gold standard treatment of atherosclerotic abdominal aortic aneurysms, its place in the treatment of inflammatory aortic aneurysms remains controversial.

Aim: To specify the place of endovascular repair in the treatment of inflammatory aneurysms.

Observation: We report 2 cases of inflammatory aortic aneurysms.

Place of endovascular repair in the treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysm.

Aim: Open repair for abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) has a significant morbidity and mortality. Since the introduction of endovascular techniques, much progress has been made. The aim of this study is to clarify the feasibility and the results of endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) in short and middle terms.

[Prosthetic valve endocarditis: about 14 cases].

Background: Prosthetic valve endocarditis (PVE) is a serious complication of valve surgery.

Aim: The aim of this study is to determine the diagnostic and therapeutic management for PVE.

Methods: It's a retrospective study about 14 cases of PVE operated in the department of cardiovascular surgery of la Rabta hospital between January 1996 and December 2006.
