A 67-year-old man with previous total gastrectomy and roux-en-Y esophagojejunostomy had hematemesis 4 weeks after esophagectomy performed because of carcinoma of the esophagus. Investigation showed an aortojejunal fistula with a thoracic aortic pseudoaneurysm. Endovascular stent grafting of the pseudoaneurysm, followed by endoscopic injection of fibrin sealant for the fistula, was performed, and the infection was controlled with broad-spectrum antibiotic agents together with drainage and daily irrigation of the pseudoaneurysm sac. The fistula subsequently healed. The patient remained well 14 months after the procedure; follow-up computed tomograms at 12 months did not show any pseudoaneurysm, and there was no evidence of reopening of the fistula.

Outcomes Comparison of Endovascular and Open Surgical Approaches for Subclavian Arterial Injury: A Nationwide Analysis.
Ann Vasc Surg
December 2024
Comparative Effectiveness and Clinical Outcomes Research Center, Riverside University Health System, Moreno Valley, CA, USA; Loma Linda University School of Medicine, Loma Linda, CA, USA. Electronic address:
Background: The management of patients with subclavian artery injury is rapidly evolving from an open to an endovascular approach. We aim to present an analysis of management and a comparison of outcomes according to the type of approach used to treat these challenging injuries.
Methods: Adult patients with subclavian arterial injuries were abstracted from the National Inpatient Sample database from 2012 to 2014 and 2016 to 2021.
Treatment of Paraclinoid Aneurysms With Stent-Assisted Coiling Versus Flow Diversion Techniques: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
J Craniofac Surg

Department of Neurosurgery, The Second Hospital of Hebei Medical University, Shijiazhuang, P.R. China.
Background: The stent-assisted coiling (SAC) and flow-diverter stent (FDS) techniques are widely used in the endovascular treatment of paraclinoid aneurysms. This article compares the occlusion rate, periprocedural complications, and clinical outcomes of SAC and FDSs.
Methods: Between January 2010 and December 2020, a systematic search of electronic databases identified 2283 articles for screening.
In the era of transition from fiction to reality: Robotic-assisted neurointervention-a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Neurosurg Rev
December 2024
Neurological Surgery, Thomas Jefferson University, Philadelphia, PA, US.
Objective: In recent years, the application of robotic assistance in diagnostic and therapeutic endovascular neurointerventional procedures has gained notable attention. In this systematic review and meta-analysis, we aim to evaluate the feasibility, safety, and current indications of robotic-assisted neurointerventions and to assess the degree of robotic assistance and reasons for unplanned manual conversion from robotic assistance.
Methods: We searched Medline, Scopus, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library databases following PRISMA guidelines and included studies with ≥ 4 patients reporting on robotic-assisted neurointerventions.
Five-Year Comparison Results Between Clinically Severely Affected Tetralogy-of-Fallot Patients Initially Treated by Right Ventricular Outflow Stenting and Pink-Fallot Patients Undergoing Single-Step Correction.

Laboratory of X-Ray Endovascular and Reconstructive Cardiovascular Surgery, Department of Cardiovascular Surgery, Federal State Budgetary Institution "Research Institute for Complex Issues of Cardiovascular Diseases", Blvd. Named After Academician L.S. Barbarasha, 6, 650002 Kemerovo, Russia.
The Purpose: Evaluation of the short-term and long-term results of a phased correction of the tetralogy of Fallot (ToF) with stenting of the right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) in comparison with a one-stage total correction (TC) of the defect.
Materials And Methods: Two groups of patients with classical ToF were formed. Group 1 (n = 25; median age = 72 days) was initially represented by children with ToF with a more severe clinical status (median weight = 3.

Universally, stroke presents as neurological deficits due to the obstruction of blood supply to specific regions of the brain. Among the three main categories of stroke, acute ischemic stroke is the leading cause of death and disability worldwide. As of today, there are two effective treatment methods: thrombolysis and endovascular therapy.
