While undergoing endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR), dissection occurred in bilateral common and external iliac arteries resulting in acute bilateral hypogastric artery occlusion. Attempts were made to reestablish flow to the left internal iliac artery via retrograde ipsilateral approach without success. A left brachial approach was used to gain access to the left internal iliac artery and kissing angioplasty and subsequent stent placement with 2 self-expanding stents was performed raising the iliac bifurcation to the level of the stent graft to salvage the internal iliac artery.

A 50-year-old female presented with a 10-day history of progressive swelling and pain in the left lower extremity, ultimately diagnosed with deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and May-Thurner Syndrome (MTS). Initial ultrasound indicated thrombosis involving the left external iliac, femoral, and popliteal veins, among others. Blood tests revealed normocytic anemia, but thrombophilia screening and other blood markers were normal.

Purpose: The use of surgeon-modified fenestrated endograft to treat a bleeding complication in the common iliac artery.

Technique: An Endurant limb graft was modified on back table in theater after planning the fenestration using a semi-automated centerline. The Endurant stent was planned to land flush at the aortic bifurcation.

We document a case of a 75-year-old patient with a history of hypercholesterolemia and hypertension, who underwent endovascular aortic repair (EVAR) for an infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) with common iliac artery ectasia. Despite an initially successful procedure, the patient experienced recurrent episodes of acute limb ischemia in his right leg. Subsequent imaging revealed thrombus formation distal to the stent graft, constituting a potential source of embolization, which warranted a reevaluation of the treatment strategy.

Mechanical valve leaflets have the potential to detach and migrate to unintended locations, leading to life- and limb-threatening situations. We report a unique case of a dislodged mechanical aortic valve leaflet in the right iliac artery bifurcation after a redo mitral valve replacement. This was promptly recognized by input from a multidisciplinary team, allowing immediate correction of the aortic valve insufficiency followed by staged retrieval of the dislodged leaflet to avoid vascular complications.

Objective: Elevated systolic blood pressure and increased pulse pressure are closely associated with renal damage; however, the exact mechanism remains unclear. Therefore, we investigated the effects of increased pulse pressure on tubulointerstitial fibrosis and renal damage in elderly rats with isolated systolic hypertension (ISH). Additionally, the role of renal tubular epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and its upstream signalling pathways were elucidated.
