Article Abstract
Blunt abdominal aortic injury from trauma is extremely rare. It is generally from motor vehicular crashes resulting in dissection, intramural hematoma, or free rupture. Timely recognition and treatment of this injury are essential for a chance for survival. To the authors knowledge, this is the first reported case of successful management of this injury, with use of an intravascular stent-graft, in a child. Although open aortic repair has been the only modality used in children, intravascular stent-graft can be another available option in these injuries.

Endovascular therapy (EVT) utilizing self-expanding stent grafts has shown promising clinical outcomes for femoropopliteal lesions. However, restenosis and thrombotic occlusion remain significant concerns with unclear underlying mechanisms. This is the case of a 53-year-old male with diabetic nephropathy requiring hemodialysis.

Article Synopsis
- TEVAR is increasingly used for treating Stanford type B aortic dissection, aiming to seal entry tears and promote aorta health, but it carries risks of complications, including stent misplacement into a false lumen.
- A case involving a 78-year-old man showed that improper stent placement during a TEVAR led to blood flow issues to his abdominal organs, requiring the insertion of an additional endograft to fix the problem.
- This incident highlights the importance of intraoperative imaging to promptly identify complications, and suggests that using intravascular ultrasound could help lower the risks associated with TEVAR.
Assessment of Bridging Stents in In Situ Laser Fenestrations of Aortic Endografts With Intravascular Ultrasound.

Department of Surgical Sciences, Section of Vascular Surgery, Uppsala University, Uppsala, Sweden.
Objective: Treatment of complex aortic aneurysms with the laser fenestration (ISLF) technique involves implantation of a balloon expandable stent graft (bSG) in the created fenestration. Adequate expansion of this bSG is of importance both to achieve seal and to ensure target vessel stability. This experimental study assessed the expansion rate of different bSGs in the ISLF setting using intravascular ultrasound (IVUS).

Introduction: Chimney technique (chimney graft in abdominal aortic aneurysm repair [ChEVAR]) can be used to treat patients with pararenal aortic aneurysm unfit for open surgery and not suitable for custom-made fenestrated endograft. Since almost 1 in 5 patients undergo a reintervention within 3 years, features associated with higher risk of complications need to be investigated to tailor the follow-up schedule to each patient. The aim of our study was to assess the impact of mural thrombus in the pararenal aorta on perioperative and follow-up complications after ChEVAR.

<b><br>Indroduction:</b> Significant dysphagia, aspiration pneumonia, and impossible oral nutrition in patients with unresectable or recurrent gastroesophageal malignancy or bronchial cancer invading the oesophagus with a tracheoesophageal fistula lead to cachexia. Dehiscence of the esophago-jejunal or gastroesophageal anastomosis may cause severe oesophageal haemorrhage. We believe that X-ray-guided oesophageal stent implantation (SEMS) is an alternative palliative method for microjejunostomy or full parenteral nutrition.
