A case of emergency stent deployment to a critical vein graft lesion in a patient with an acute myocardial infarction and cardiogenic shock is described. An Angioguard vascular protection device was used, retrieving a large amount of atheromatous debris. Use of filter-type protection devices to prevent distal atheroembolism may be lifesaving in such patients.

Objective: We present our experience with endovascular Bentall procedure (Endo-Bentall) using a modular valve conduit (Endo-Bentall) in high-risk patients with aortic root pathologies.
Methods: The physician constructed Endo-Bentall device is composed of a self-expanding transcatheter aortic valve (TAVR), aortic endovascular stent graft (TEVAR), and two wire-reinforced fenestrations for coronary artery stenting. The TAVR valve is sutured into an appropriately sized TEVAR graft.
Intravascular Lithotripsy for Coronary Artery Calcification: An Expert Review.

Coronary artery calcification is an impediment to percutaneous coronary interventions by obstructing the device pathway or stent deployment. To facilitate percutaneous coronary intervention in such complex lesions, high-pressure balloon dilations, atherectomy procedures, and specialty balloons are used but they all come with considerable limitations and periprocedural complications like dissection and perforation. To surpass these disadvantages, intravascular lithotripsy was introduced which acts by delivering high-pressure pulsatile sonic waves circumferentially thereby destroying the calcium deposits.

This study aimed to investigate the relationship between the restoration of coronary flow just before stent deployment and the final thrombolysis in myocardial infarction (TIMI) flow grade 3 in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) whose initial TIMI flow grade ≤ 1. In primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), initial TMI flow grade ≤ 1 is closely associated with suboptimal final TIMI flow grade. We included 466 STEMI patients with initial TIMI flow grade ≤ 1 and divided into a restored flow group or an unrestored flow group according to the TIMI flow grade just before stent deployment.

Objective: Paravisceral aortic lesions present significant challenges for endovascular treatment. This retrospective analysis of consecutively treated patients from April 2017 to June 2021 aimed to analyse the outcome of primary intra-operative embolisation of aortic complicated pseudoaneurysms and gutter channels during parallel graft (PG) repair of paravisceral symptomatic aortic pseudoaneurysms.
Methods: Patients with symptomatic pseudoaneurysms of the paravisceral aorta treated with PGs using chimney or periscope configurations were included.

Introduction: The Flow Re-direction Endoluminal Device (FRED) is a novel flow diverter with a unique double stent design, with an inner stent composed of 48 nitinol wires, and an outer stent with 16 nitinol wires. It is designed for endovascular cerebral aneurysm treatment, although, limited data exist regarding in-stent stenosis (ISS) rates associated with FRED devices.
Methods: A registry encompassing two North American comprehensive stroke centers was the base of this study.
