Major adverse cardiac events after elective infrarenal endovascular aortic aneurysm repair.

Objective: There is a significant cardiac morbidity and mortality after endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR). However, information about long-term risk of cardiac events after EVAR and potential predictors is lacking. Therefore, the aim of this study was to determine incidence and predictors of major adverse cardiac events (MACE) at 1 and 5 years after elective EVAR for infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysms.

Embolization of the false lumen using IMPEDE-FX embolization plugs as part of treatment of an infrarenal post-dissection aneurysm: a case report.

Background: This case report demonstrates the value of IMPEDE-FX plugs in an embolization procedure of a false lumen of an infrarenal post-dissection aneurysm.

Case Presentation: A 69-year-old patient was treated with mitral valve replacement, complicated by a Stanford type-A dissection. After 9 years he presented with an enlarging infrarenal post-dissection aneurysm.

Total Endovascular Repair of the Aortic Arch: Initial Experience in the Netherlands.

Background: We report procedural and early results in the Netherlands of the Relay Branch device (Terumo Aortic, Sunrise, FL) for total endovascular repair of the aortic arch.

Methods: Between 2014 and 2018, all consecutive patients who received the Aortic Relay double-branched stent graft in the Netherlands were included in a multicenter, retrospective registry.

Results: The Relay Branch device was used in 11 patients to treat saccular (n = 4), fusiform (n = 5), or false aneurysms (n = 2) in the aortic arch.

Endovascular Aneurysm Repair Complicated with Type Ia Endoleak and Presumable Infection Treated with a Fenestrated Endograft.

An 81-year-old patient presented to the emergency room 5 years after infrarenal endovascular aneurysm repair, with a Type Ia endoleak and a presumable infection of the graft material with . He was treated with a custom-made fenestrated endograft to seal the endoleak and lifelong antibiotic therapy to suppress the infection. Full explantation of graft material is not always preferable, and endovascular treatment combined with antibiotic suppressive therapy is in some cases an appropriate alternative.

A Case of Primary Aortoduodenal Fistula and Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm in a Patient with Chronic Q Fever.

A 70-year-old man was successfully treated for an aortoduodenal fistula originating from a Q fever-related abdominal aortic aneurysm. He had no known history of contact with cattle or sheep. Although the combination of abdominal aortic aneurysm and aortoduodenal fistula is rare, one should be suspicious of Q fever infection as the causative agent, and additional medical treatment should be initiated.

Endovascular Repair of Contained Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Rupture Using a Bilateral D-Shaped Stent System.

To report the first case of the treatment of a contained aortic aneurysm rupture using a bilateral D-shaped endovascular stent graft system.

Persistent endoleak after endovascular aneurysm repair for acute Q-fever-infected aortocaval fistula.

We present a case of an endovascular aneurysm repair for a Q-fever-infected acute abdominal aortic aneurysm with aortocaval fistula. Type 2 endoleak persisted after successful endovascular repair.

Pulmonary resection for metastases from colorectal cancer.

Introduction: The lung is the most common extraabdominal site for metastases from colorectal cancer. Patients with untreated metastatic disease have a median survival of less than 10 months and a 5-year survival of less than 5%. The purpose of this study was to evaluate long-term survival in patients who underwent pulmonary resection for metastases from colorectal cancer.
