We describe a case using a NuMED-covered Cheatham-Platinum (CP) stent (NuMED, Hopkinton, NY) to treat an aneurysm after previous balloon angioplasty and bare stent implantation for coarctation of the aorta (CoA). Exclusion of the left subclavian artery (LSCA) was anticipated. After wire perforation of the covered CP stent, balloon angioplasty was performed through a stent cell to recannulize the LSCA.

Objective: This study offers a retrospective assessment of a single-center experience using cerebrospinal fluid catheters to reduce the risk of perioperative spinal cord injury in patients undergoing single-staged complex endovascular juxtarenal or thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm repair.
Results: A total of 97 patients were included. On average, 70.

Aortic dissection is the most common thoracic aortic emergency and is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Initial complications are dependent on reduction of sheer stress against the aortic wall to protect against rupture and minimize progression of the aortic wall injury. In patients with dissection starting at or distal to the left subclavian artery (Stanford type B), initial management includes strict blood pressure and heart rate control with monitoring for any complications such as malperfusion, rupture or hemodynamic instability.

Objective: To analytically depict the associated malformations of polysplenia syndrome (PS) in adults via computed tomography (CT).
Materials And Methods: The incidence of malformations associated with PS in twelve adult patients was retrospectively analyzed via CT imaging.
Results: The number of splenic nodules ranged from three to twelve; the splenic nodules were located in the left upper quadrant in nine patients and in the right upper quadrant in three patients.

Introduction And Clinical Importance: Shone complex (SC) is a rare multilevel congenital heart disease (CHD) characterized by four left-sided heart obstructive lesions: parachute mitral valve, supravalvular mitral ring, subaortic stenosis, and coarctation of the aorta (CoA), accounting for 0.6-0.7 % of CHD cases.

Unlabelled: Data about the long-term safety and efficacy of stent implantation for central venous stenosis in patients on dialysis are limited. We report the case of a 66-year-old man on hemodialysis for end-stage renal disease who presented with stasis dermatitis around an arteriovenous shunt with ulceration of the left forearm. Computed tomography angiography showed a tight stenosis of the proximal left subclavian vein and the development of collateral blood vessels around the stenosis.
