Real-World Evaluation of the Off-the-Shelf Precannulated Inner-Branched Endograft for Pararenal Aortic Aneurysms.

Purpose: To analyze the early performance and efficacy of the first commercially available off-the-shelf precannulated multibranched endograft in the endovascular repair of pararenal abdominal aortic aneurysms (PAAAs). The device received European marketing approval in late 2020.

Materials And Methods: Between January 2021 and June 2023, a retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data from all consecutive patients with pAAAs undergoing implantation of the E-nside precannulated inner-branched endograft was conducted in 2 centers.

Endovascular treatment of ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms with the Endurant device.

Background: Endovascular treatment of ruptured aortic aneurysms is performed in many centers around the world. New endovascular stent-grafts may prove to improve results. We report our experience with the Endurant device.

Outcomes of endovascular aneurysm repair with selective internal iliac artery coverage without coil embolization.

Objective: Endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) that also involve the common iliac artery (CIA) typically is accomplished by endograft limb extension into the external iliac artery (EIA). In order to prevent endoleak, the internal iliac artery (IIA) is usually embolized, or alternatively a branched limb is deployed. However, IIA embolization is associated with longer operative time and increased use of contrast and radiation.

Protective effect of antithrombin III against lung and myocardial injury in lower-limb ischemia-reperfusion syndrome.

Background: Restoration of blood flow to an acutely ischemic limb can trigger systemic inflammation. We investigated whether antithrombin III (AT-III) exerts a protective action against remote lung and myocardial injury in an experimental animal model of lower-limb ischemia-reperfusion.

Methods: Ischemia was induced by lower-limb arterial occlusion for 6 hours in 60 male Wistar rats.

An unusual complication of a "blind" femoral embolectomy.

Iatrogenic pseudoaneurysms after femoral embolectomy are unusual and have been described in the peroneal, posterior tibial, and popliteal arteries. We present an unusual case of such a pseudoaneurysm originating from a medial superior genicular collateral vessel that was coming off the proximal popliteal artery at an acute angle. It is likely that the embolectomy catheter had accidentally entered this branch, which ruptured when the balloon was inflated.
