AI Article Synopsis

  • The study evaluated the safety and effectiveness of the Atrium Advanta V12 stent-graft for treating infrarenal abdominal aortic pseudoaneurysms in women with Behcet disease.
  • Researchers analyzed data from 12 female patients, finding a 100% technical success rate and no procedure-related mortality or morbidity over an average follow-up of 46.5 months.
  • The stent-grafts demonstrated excellent long-term patency, with a 100% primary patency rate at 4 years and complete aneurysm exclusion achieved in all cases.

Article Abstract

Background: The aim of the study was to determine the safety and effectiveness of Atrium Advanta V12 large diameter stent-graft applications for infrarenal abdominal aortic pseudoaneurysms (due to Behcet disease [BD]).

Methods: Data of Advanta V12™ (Atrium Europe B.V, Mijdrecht, the Netherlands) applied 12 female patients (mean age 30.5 ± 6.3, range 26-44) with infrarenal abdominal aortic pseudoaneurysms were analyzed retrospectively. All Advanta V12 large diameter stent grafts were implemented from right or left sided 12F femoral sheaths. Stent grafts with 12-16 mm in size and 29-61 mm in length were utilized. Technical success rate, procedure-related mortality and morbidity, and primary patency rate at 4 years were evaluated.

Results: Technical success rate was 100%. Neither procedure-related mortality nor morbidity was determined. The mean aortic diameter was 14.0 ± 0.8 mm for pseudoaneurysmatic abdominal aortas. The mean follow-up period was 46.5 ± 40.3 months (range 18-75). During follow-ups, only one recurrent aneurysm has evolved at the stenting site due to patients' withdrawal of immunosuppressive treatment. The advent of a new aneurysm proximal or distal to the stent-graft region or at the femoral access localization was not observed. There were no stent occlusions. Primary patency rate at 4 years was 100%. Complete aneurysm exclusion was achieved 100% at 48 months.

Conclusions: The use of Advanta V12 large diameter stent grafts for infrarenal abdominal aortic pseudoaneurysms (due to BD), especially in female patients with small aortic diameter, is safe and efficient. Primary patency rate of the stent grafts at 4 years is excellent.

Objective: Treatment of complex aortic aneurysms with the laser fenestration (ISLF) technique involves implantation of a balloon expandable stent graft (bSG) in the created fenestration. Adequate expansion of this bSG is of importance both to achieve seal and to ensure target vessel stability. This experimental study assessed the expansion rate of different bSGs in the ISLF setting using intravascular ultrasound (IVUS).

Purpose: To compare procedural and long-term costs associated with the use of Balloon-Expandable Covered Stents (BECS) in the management of Aortoiliac Occlusive Disease (AIOD).

Materials And Methods: A cost-consequence model was developed to simulate the intra- and post-operative management of patients with AIOD from the perspective of private health-payers. The study assessed the costs of the LifeStream (BD, Franklin Lakes, New Jersey), iCAST/Advanta V12 (Getinge, Goteborg, Sweden), BeGraft Peripheral (Bentley, Hechingen, Germany), and Viabahn Balloon Expandable (VBX) (W.

Objective: The performance of fenestrated endovascular aortic aneurysm repair (FEVAR) may be compromised by complications related to the dynamic vascular environment. The aim of this study was to analyze the behavior of FEVAR bridging stent configurations during the cardiac cycle and during follow-up to improve our understanding on treatment durability.

Design: Twenty-one patients presenting with complex abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs; 9 juxtarenal/6 pararenal/3 paravisceral/1 thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm type IV), treated with a fenestrated Anaconda (Terumo Aortic, Inchinnan, Scotland, UK) with Advanta V12 bridging stents (Getinge, Merrimack, NH, USA), were prospectively enrolled in a multicenter observational cohort study and underwent electrocardiogram (ECG)-gated computed tomographic angiography (CTA) preoperatively, at discharge, 7-week, and 12-month follow-ups.

Objectives: The current study aims to report midterm results of patients treated with endovascular intervention, kissing stent, or covered endovascular reconstruction of the aortic bifurcation, for Trans-Atlantic Inter-Society Consensus C or D aortoiliac occlusive disease involving the aortic bifurcation.

Methods: Eighteen patients who have intermittent claudication or chronic limb threatening ischemia with Trans-Atlantic Inter-Society Consensus C or D aortoiliac occlusive disease involving the aortic bifurcation enrolled to the study between January 2018 and January 2021. Kissing stents, Advanta V12 (Atrium, Getinge Group), were used in 13 patients, and the covered endovascular reconstruction of the aortic bifurcation technique was used in 4 patients to reconstruct the aortic bifurcation.

Popliteal artery pseudoaneurysm is a rare injury occurring in total knee replacement surgeries. The symptoms are usually pain and swelling on the affected side which prompts immediate investigations. Surgical and endovascular interventions are both available options for intervention with covered stents being the preferred choice.
