Results of Open and Endovascular Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Repair According to the E-PASS Score.

Introduction: Endovascular repair (EVAR) of abdominal aortic aneurysm has become the standard of care due to a lower 30-day mortality, a lower morbidity, shorter hospital stay and a quicker recovery. The role of open repair (OR) and to whom this type of operation should be offered is subject to discussion.

Objective: To present a single center experience on the repair of abdominal aortic aneurysm, comparing the results of open and endovascular repairs.

Peristomal variceal bleeding treated by coil embolization using a percutaneous transhepatic approach.

Peristomal variceal bleeding due to portal hypertension is an entity that has rarely been reported with 3%-4% risk of death. A 68-year-old woman who had undergone a palliative colostomy (colorectal carcinoma) presented with a massive hemorrhage from the colostomy conduit. Considering her oncological status with medial and right hepatic veins thrombosis due to liver metastasis invasion, an emergency transhepatic coil embolization was successfully performed.
