The objectives of this retrospective study were to determine the technical success, safety, and midterm results of primary stent placement of infrarenal aortic stenosis. Eight stenoses and one occlusion were treated with stent placement after balloon pre-dilation. Primary technical success was achieved in all patients. Five patients showed reperfusion or restored normal direction of flow of the inferior mesenteric artery. No complications occurred. There was a mean follow-up of 12 months (range, 3-20 months). Primary clinical and hemodynamic patency rates were 100% on follow-up examinations. Stent placement after balloon pre-dilation in properly selected patients with isolated infrarenal aortic stenosis is a promising durable treatment.

Aim: The aim of this study was to introduce the Esophagus-Sparing Anastomotic Narrowing Revision (ESANR) technique for the intraoperative management of anastomotic narrowing and to conduct a literature review to provide an algorithm for the management of narrowing and strictures that may develop secondary to esophagojejunostomy.

Methods: Three patients with anastomotic narrowing during esophagojejunostomy were analyzed between September 2019 and June 2024. The anastomotic narrowing was detected by intraoperative gastroscopy after reconstruction.

Takayasu arteritis is a well-established medical entity involving inflammatory changes in large arteries. We describe a characteristic case of Takayasu arteritis, in a young woman with significant renal artery stenosis, presenting with hypertensive urgency. Unsuccessful guide wire passage due to fibrotic septae in lumen of the left renal artery necessitated an innovative interventional approach, using an IMA-guide catheter and a UB3 coronary guidewire to cross the lesions, followed by placement of a coronary drug eluting stent, with an aim to avoid restenosis.
