Bridging endovascular therapy, accompanied by a second stage open surgical repair was used to treat a rare case of infected aneurysms alongside external iliac artery after a percutaneous cardiac intervention. Because these aneurysms require early treatment, we suggest this approach, in order to avoid immediate, major surgery in a recently symptomatic cardiac and bacteremic patient receiving dual antiplatelet therapy. The approach seems to be safe and durable.

Objective: Half of re-interventions after fenestrated and branched endovascular aortic repair (FB-EVAR) are target vessel related. Regarding bridging stent choice, existing data are controversial. This meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the performance of Advanta V12/iCAST as bridging stent in FB-EVAR.

Objectives: To develop a predictive score for the prediction of successful endovascular crossing in femoropopliteal artery chronic total occlusions (CTOs).
Methods: In this retrospective study, 84 patients were divided 70%:30% into a training and a testing cohort. Parameters such as cap morphology, side branches, bridging collaterals, flush occlusion, and length were derived from preprocedural CT angiography.

Introduction: Dural arteriovenous fistulas (dAVF) are abnormal anastomoses between meningeal arteries and dural venous sinuses. Typically, dAVF treatment involves an endovascular or microsurgical approach. Anterior ethmoidal artery (AEA) dAVFs pose unique challenges due to their anatomy and location.

Objective: Endovascular treatment (EVT) is an effective treatment for patients with acute vertebrobasilar artery complex occlusion (VBAO). However, the benefit of bridging thrombolysis prior to EVT remains controversial. The purpose of the present study is to explore the best treatment strategy between bridging treatment (BT) and direct EVT in patients with acute VBAO.

Ascending aortic pseudoaneurysm may pose significant risk for reoperative repair. We describe an 18-year-old man who presented with bacteremia and a large, mycotic ascending aortic pseudoaneurysm 3 months after redo cardiac surgery. A covered stent graft sealed the pseudoaneurysm neck and facilitated safe reentry into the mediastinum.
