AI Article Synopsis
- Sometimes, alternative sources for blood flow to the kidneys are needed when standard surgical options are not suitable due to severe aorta issues.
- A 46-year-old man was experiencing severe high blood pressure and kidney failure due to occlusion of the celiac axis from a worsening condition despite prior surgery 5 years earlier.
- The surgery involved using imaging techniques, which revealed a possibility to restore kidney blood flow by successfully angioplastying and placing a stent in the severely narrowed superior mesenteric artery, resulting in improved kidney function and blood pressure control.
Article Abstract
An alternative source of visceral arterial inflow is sometimes necessary for renal revascularization when aortorenal endarterectomy or bypass is inappropriate due to severely diseased aorta. We report the case of a 46-year-old male with recurrent intractable renovascular hypertension in renal failure secondary to occlusion of the celiac axis due to progression of aortoarteritis following splenorenal arterial bypass performed 5 years before. Aortogram visualized intestinal arterial arcade supporting patent bypass with critically stenosed superior mesenteric artery. Successful angioplasty with stenting of superior mesenteric artery restored adequate renal flow through the bypass leading to recovery and easy control of hypertension.

Primary Intra-operative Embolisation During Urgent Parallel Graft Endovascular Repair in Paravisceral Symptomatic Aortic Pseudoaneurysm.
EJVES Vasc Forum
November 2024
Vascular Surgery, Department of Medical and Surgical Sciences (DIMEC), University of Bologna, Bologna, Italy.
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.

The persistence of fetal vitelline structures may occur. The primary intestinal arterial supply development happens normally in this scenario, but a vitelline vascular remnant (VVR) persists. A 13-year-old boy with a history of severe and intermittent abdominal pain since early infancy presented to the Emergency Department with clinical, analytical, and ultrasonographic findings suggestive of acute appendicitis.

Objective: Infective endocarditis (IE) is associated with significant morbidity and mortality and places patients at risk for subsequent peripheral vascular emboli. Our goals were to analyze the incidence of peripheral emboli and their associated complications and outcomes.
Methods: A retrospective single-center review of all patients with IE from 2013-2021 was performed.
T-branch by partial deployment technique in the endovascular repair of complex aortic and thoracoabdominal aneurysms with narrow or severe angulated para-visceral aorta.

Vascular Surgery, University of Bologna, DIMEC, Bologna, Italy; Vascular Surgery Unit, IRCCS Sant'Orsola, Bologna, Italy.
Introduction/aim: The partial deployment technique (PDT) is an unconventional option of T-branch deployment to allow target arteries (TAs) cannulation/stenting from the upper arm access, in case of narrow (NPA: <25mm) or severely angulated (APA: >60°) aorta. Aim of this study was to report outcomes of the endovascular repair of complex aortic (c-AAAs) and thoracoabdominal (TAAAs) aneurysms by T-branch and PDT.
Methods: All consecutive patients underwent urgent endovascular repair of c-AAAs and TAAAs by T-branch (Cook-Medical, Bloomington, IN, US) and PDT from 2021 to 2023 were analyzed.
