Endovascular aortic aneurysm repair with the talent stent-graft: outcomes in patients with large iliac arteries.

The purpose of this study is to report outcomes following endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) in patients with ectatic common iliac arteries (CIAs). Of 117 AAA patients treated by EVAR between 1998 and 2005, 87 (74%) had CIAs diameters <18 mm and 30 (26%) patients had one or more CIA diameters >18 but <25 mm. All patients were treated with Talent stent-grafts, 114 bifurcated and 3 AUI devices.

Preoperative embolization followed by surgical excision of an intrapericardial pheochromocytoma.

A teenager with palpitations and hypertension was found to have an intrapericardial pheochromocytoma of the left atrium with multiple feeding collaterals. Radiologic embolization was carried out on the major feeding arteries to the tumor preoperatively with good angiographic result. Surgery was carried out the following day through a median sternotomy approach and cardiopulmonary bypass.

Midterm follow-up of a single-center experience of endovascular repair of abdominal aortic aneurysms with use of the Talent stent-graft.

Purpose: To review the midterm results of endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) with the Talent stent-graft.

Materials And Methods: All patients who underwent EVAR of AAAs with Talent stent-grafts from February 1998 to April 2002 at a single institution were monitored for a minimum of 2 years or until an endpoint of death or rupture was reached.

Results: There were 68 eligible patients, who were monitored for a mean period of 39 months (range, 24-72 months).

Device migration after endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm repair: experience with a talent stent-graft.

Purpose: Device migration (DM) may cause late failure after endovascular aortic aneurysm repair (EVAR). Computed tomography (CT) scans following EVAR were reviewed to establish the frequency of DM and whether it can be predicted.

Materials And Methods: Fifty-five patients underwent EVAR with a Talent stent-graft with suprarenal fixation.

Endovascular aneurysm repair with the Talent stent-graft.

Purpose: Evaluation of the Talent endovascular aortic stent graft in the management of abdominal aortic aneurysms.

Materials And Methods: Thirty-eight patients with suitable abdominal aortic aneurysms were treated over an 18-month period using the modular Talent stent graft. The suprarenal Talent device was deployed in 31 cases.
