Fusion Imaging with a Mobile C-Arm for Peripheral Arterial Disease.

Background: Fusion imaging makes it possible to improve endovascular procedures and is mainly used in hybrid rooms for aortic procedures. The objective of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of fusion imaging for femoropopliteal endovascular procedures with a mobile flat plane sensor and dedicated software to assist endovascular navigation.

Materials And Methods: Between May and December 2017, 41 patients requiring femoropopliteal endovascular revascularization were included.

Thoracic splenosis: Case report of a symptomatic case.

Thoracic splenosis is the autotransplantation of splenic tissue in the left thoracic cavity as a result of a splenic injury. This rare pathology is usually asymptomatic and may be discovered on incidental imaging, but the diagnosis often requires invasive procedures such as surgery in order to eliminate a neoplasic origin. We report a rare symptomatic case of a 39-year-old man presenting with chest pain and multiple nodules revealed on a computed tomography scan.

Fusion Imaging for EVAR with Mobile C-arm.

Background: Fusion imaging is a technique that facilitates endovascular navigation but is only available in hybrid rooms. The goal of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of fusion imaging with a mobile C-arm in a conventional operating room through the use of an angionavigation station.

Methods: From May 2016 to June 2017, the study included all patients who underwent an aortic stent graft procedure in a conventional operating room with a mobile flat-panel detector (Cios Alpha, Siemens) connected to an angionavigation station (EndoNaut, Therenva).

Predictive Factors of Silent Brain Infarcts after Asymptomatic Carotid Endarterectomy.

Background: The optimization of medical treatment regularly challenges the role of carotid surgery for asymptomatic patients. Current research seeks to determine which of these patients will benefit most from surgery. The goal of this study was to identify in a multicenter study, using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), the risk factors for postoperative silent cerebral ischemic lesions after carotid surgery for asymptomatic stenosis.

Preoperative CT-scan-based sizing and in-stent restenosis in peripheral endovascular revascularizations.

Objectives This study evaluates the effect of stent sizing with CT-scan on the incidence of restenosis in peripheral arterial disease. Methods This retrospective study included 59 patients with 66 arterial lesions who underwent a endovascular procedure for peripheral arterial disease between April 2013 and October 2013. All patients had de novo iliac or femoral lesions, were candidates for an endovascular procedure alone and underwent CTA preoperatively.

Evaluation by Magnetic Resonance Imaging of Silent Brain Infarcts in Preoperative and Postoperative Asymptomatic Carotid Surgery.

Background: To report the prevalence of silent brain infarcts (SBI) at magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) before and after surgery for asymptomatic high grade carotid stenosis.

Methods: This is a single center retrospective observational study. Asymptomatic patients who underwent carotid endarterectomy between October 2012 and October 2014 were included.
