A 75-year-old man presented with symptomatic thoracic aneurysm involving the origin of the left subclavian artery. To obtain an adequate landing zone, a simultaneous stent was placed in the left common carotid artery. Until fenestrated and branch graft technology is more available, snorkel approaches may be an acceptable approach for patients with contraindications to open repair.

Percutaneous coronary intervention for iatrogenic coronary artery pseudoaneurysm at left main trunk bifurcation: A case report.
J Cardiol Cases
September 2024
Division of Cardiology, Yokohama City University Medical Center, Yokohama, Japan.
Unlabelled: A 70-year-old man was referred to our hospital with a diagnosis of progressive increase in extravasation leading to an iatrogenic coronary artery (CA) pseudoaneurysm within a month of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). The pseudoaneurysm was located on the carina side of the proximal left descending artery (LAD) accompanied by peri-stent contrast staining around the left main trunk (LMT). After a shared decision-making process, a second PCI was performed to prevent CA pseudoaneurysm rupture owing to concerns of adhesion around the LMT and difficulty in approaching the carina side of the proximal LAD for surgery.

Article Synopsis
- Treating atherosclerotic occlusive disease in the infrarenal aorta is challenging, with traditional open surgery posing high risks for morbidity and mortality.
- The American College of Cardiology (ACC)/American Heart Association (AHA) classification helps assess patient risk, especially benefiting high-risk patients through advancements in endovascular technologies.
- Minimally invasive methods, such as chimney-CERAB, have been effectively used to treat patients with aortoiliac occlusive disease while preserving key blood vessels like the inferior mesenteric artery.
Bifurcated Endografts for the Treatment of Aortoiliac Disease a Systematic Review and Individual Patient Data (IPD) Meta-Analysis.
J Endovasc Ther
October 2024
Department of Vascular Surgery, AHEPA University General Hospital, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Thessaloniki, Greece.
Article Synopsis
- This review evaluated the effectiveness and safety of bifurcated endografts for treating aortoiliac disease (AOID) by analyzing multiple studies across various databases.* -
- Ten studies involving 365 patients primarily used the AFX endograft, showing high primary patency rates at 12, 24, and 36 months, with estimates around 90-94% and low rates of major complications.* -
- While the initial findings suggest that bifurcated endografts are a promising option for AOID treatment, further research is needed to conclusively determine their long-term efficacy and safety.*
Role of intravascular ultrasound for the technical assessment of endovascular reconstruction of the aortic bifurcation.

Vascular and Endovascular Surgery Division, Department of Cardiac, Thoracic, Vascular Sciences and Public Health, Padua University, Padua, Italy. Electronic address:
Article Synopsis
- This study aimed to assess how effective intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) is in evaluating and improving the placement of kissing stents (KSs) and covered endovascular reconstruction in treating severe aortoiliac obstructive disease.
- Researchers conducted a retrospective review of 102 patients receiving endovascular treatments from 2019 to 2023, focusing on cases with specific conditions that warranted IVUS use during procedures.
- The findings revealed that IVUS identified significant technical issues in 25% of patients, leading to successful corrective measures, with higher risks associated with severely calcified lesions and narrow aortic bifurcations among the patients.
Mid-term Results of Endovascular Reconstruction of Aortic Bifurcation Using COVERA Stent Graft.

Introduction: This article aims to evaluate the short-term and mid-term performance of a self-expanding covered stent (COVERA Plus, Bard Tempe, Arizona) during the treatment of Trans-Atlantic Inter-Society Consensus (TASC) C/D aortoiliac obstructive lesions involving the aortic bifurcation.
Methods: A single-center retrospective review of all patients who underwent endovascular reconstruction of the aortoiliac bifurcation for obstructive disease, with the use of Covera, from January 2018 to March 2023. All patients received a postoperative CTA (computed tomography angiography) scan within 1 month from the intervention.
