Midterm Outcomes of Endoleak Type 2 Embolization after Endovascular Aortic Aneurysm Repair Using a Neurointerventional Approach.

Background: Type 2 endoleaks (T2ELs) have been considered a benign condition and intervention is recommended when they are associated to sac expansion. The aim of this study was to report on T2EL embolization midterm outcomes, using neurointerventional material.

Methods: A single-center retrospective analysis of consecutive patients treated with transarterial embolization, using neurointerventional material, for T2EL after standard endovascular aortic aneurysm repair (EVAR) between January 01, 2017 and July 30, 2022, was undertaken.

Totally videoendoscopic descending thoracic aorta-to-femoral artery bypass.

Descending thoracic aorta to femoral artery bypass is an effective and safe procedure for the treatment of aortoiliac occlusive disease when an approach to the abdominal aorta is undesirable. The major limitation of this technique has resulted from the morbidity rate associated with thoracotomy in a relatively high-risk vascular surgery population. As a minimally invasive procedure, videoendoscopy has been shown to improve the patient postoperative course and comfort in the field of general and thoracic surgery.

Acute debranching and stent grafting for a ruptured penetrating ulcer of the aortic arch.

Background: We report a hybrid treatment for a ruptured penetrating aortic ulcer (PAU) of the aortic arch in emergency conditions.

Methods: A 74-year-old man with severe comorbidity was diagnosed with a symptomatic rupture of a PAU of the aortic arch. As he was considered unfit for conventional open repair and it was an emergency condition, an acute endovascular repair with cervical debranching of the supra-aortic trunks could be proposed.

A rare case of leiomyosarcoma arising from a femoral vein tributary: a case report.

Primary vascular tumours are very rare. Most cases are leiomyosarcomas usually arising from large veins such as the inferior vena cava. Involvement of major veins in the limbs is uncommon and of small veins or tributaries extremely uncommon.

Superficial femoral artery autograft reconstruction for complicated popliteal artery entrapment syndrome.

We present an alternative surgical approach to popliteal artery entrapment syndrome with vascular complications in the absence of a suitable saphenous vein. Three patients (29, 35, and 78 years old) with thrombotic and/or aneurysmal lesions of the popliteal artery from popliteal artery entrapment syndrome were treated with superficial femoral artery autograft reconstruction. The procedure was performed through a medial approach.

Impact of the introduction of endovascular aneurysm repair in high-risk patients on our practice of elective treatment of infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysms.

The aim of this work was to evaluate, in terms of activity and immediate postoperative results, the modifications of our elective surgical treatment of infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) resulting from the use of stent grafts to treat AAAs, following the recommendations issued by the French Health Products Safety Agency (AFSSAPS) in December 2003. This monocentric and retrospective study used the clinical data of patients operated on for asymptomatic AAA between January 2001 and December 2006. Endovascular treatment of AAAs with aortic stent grafts was introduced in our current practice in January 2004, following the recommendations of the AFSSAPS (high-risk patients for open surgery presenting with an AAA > or =50 mm).

Superficial femoral artery autograft reconstruction in the treatment of popliteal artery aneurysm: Long-term outcome.

Objective: This prospective, observational study evaluated the safety and efficacy of superficial femoral artery autograft reconstruction in the treatment of popliteal artery aneurysms in the absence of a suitable saphenous vein.

Methods: From March 1997 to April 2007, data from patients with popliteal artery aneurysms treated by superficial femoral artery reconstruction were prospectively collected in two centers. The procedure was performed through a medial approach.

Bilateral dissection of external iliac artery.

External iliac artery (EIA) dissection and especially bilateral involvement is very rare. We report the case of a 49-year-old male intense bicyclist who had presented a dissection of the left EIA responsible for claudication. He underwent an iliofemoral vein graft bypass.

Extraanatomical revascularization of the artery of Adamkiewicz: anatomical study.

Spinal cord ischemia is a major cause of complications after operative and endovascular treatment of descending thoracic or thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms. Prior revascularization of the intercostal artery (IA) giving rise to the artery of Adamkiewicz (AA) using an artery of the thoracic wall would preserve circulation in the AA and allow obstruction of the IA at its origin. The purpose of this study was to determine the feasibility of revascularization of the IA giving rise to the AA using three thoracic wall arteries, i.
