A 29-year-old woman with acute iliofemorocaval thrombosis was discovered to have suprarenal caval agenesis with azygous continuation, hepatic congestion, and fibrosis as a result of chronic Budd-Chiari syndrome. Three staged procedures were performed: pharmacomechanical thrombolysis of acute thromboses, transfemoral liver biopsy and hemodynamic assessment, and percutaneous endovascular creation of a "neocava" lined with endografts. Symptomatic improvement and patency were maintained at 12-week follow-up.

Although open repair remains the mainstream treatment for aortic arch dissection, its surgical complexity and perioperative complications are significant. We developed a novel stentgraft system for less-invasive endovascular aortic arch repair. We successfully performed a total percutaneous transfemoral endovascular repair of aortic arch dissection using a novel off-the-shelf endograft system.

Background: Hepatic artery infusion pump (HAIP) chemotherapy is a locoregional treatment for intrahepatic malignancies. HAIPs are surgically implanted, and the catheter tip is typically inserted into a ligated gastroduodenal artery stump. Potential complications at the catheter insertion site include dehiscence, pseudoaneurysm or extravasation, and adjacent hepatic arterial stenosis and thrombosis.

Objectives: High rates of morbidity and mortality are a result of trauma being a significant health burden in Saudi Arabia. We evaluated the current trends of primary healthcare (PHC) physicians in Saudi Arabia toward patients with bleeding and their referral awareness for percutaneous endovascular arterial embolization (EAE).
Methods: We formulated a 13-question survey to assess PHC physicians' knowledge regarding decision-making and appropriate approaches to manage patients with traumatic and non-traumatic abdominopelvic and lower limb bleeding.
