The authors present the case of a 39-year-old man who underwent endovascular repair of a thoracic aortic disruption. Implantation of a Gore TAG stent-graft achieved total exclusion of the traumatic lesion with no contrast extravasation. However, on the third postoperative day, the patient developed complete anuria necessitating continuous venovenous hemofiltration. On the IV postoperative day there were no palpable femoral pulses and the pressure gradient between the lower and upper limbs was -80 mmHg. Given the development of severe intestinal and peripheral hypoperfusion status a possible endograft collapse was suspected. Urgent computed tomography (CT) angiography demonstrated central subtotal collapse of the device and proper distal sealing. A second TAG stent-graft was deployed successfully within the collapsed device with no contrast extravasation and good apposition of the stent-graft to the aortic wall. At 6 months, there is no sign of graft collapse or endoleak. Endovascular reintervention succeeded re-expansion of the collapsed endoprosthesis and resolution of the initial symptoms.

Article Synopsis
- Endovascular procedures like TAVR, TEVAR, and EVAR are becoming more common but still carry risks, especially for older and frail patients.
- This paper discusses two cases where complications arose from large bore access during such procedures and the innovative methods used to manage them.
- The insights gained from these cases provide valuable guidance for clinicians facing similar challenges in future interventions.
Endograft collapse caused by aortic dissection is rare, but it might cause critical complications and sometimes lead to death. We present a case of bilateral lower limb ischemia caused by endograft collapse due to type B acute aortic dissection (TBAD). A 70-year-old man with an abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) that was treated by endovascular aortic aneurysm repair (EVAR) 17 days prior returned to our hospital due to chest pain and bilateral lower limb paleness.

Article Synopsis
- * A retrospective evaluation of 16 patients from January 2017 to January 2024 revealed significant differences in 30-day mortality rates between elective and emergency OSCs, with independent mortality factors including cardiac shock and low hematocrit levels.
- * The average ICU stay was 8.7 days, with a mean hospital stay of 17.3 days and a 5-year overall survival rate of 43.75%, indicating that further research is needed to understand the implications of using EVAR beyond established guidelines.

Background: Resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA) is increasingly being used for temporary bleeding control in patients with trauma with non-compressible truncal hemorrhage (NCTH). In recent years, the technique is gaining popularity in postpartum hemorrhage and non-traumatic cardiac arrest, although still underutilized. In other surgical fields, however, there is not yet much awareness for the possible advantages of this technique.
