In situ Laser Fenestrations of Visceral Endografts (InLoVE) Midterm Outcomes From a Multicentre Study.

Eur J Vasc Endovasc Surg

Objective: Emergent complex abdominal aortic diseases are challenging to treat. During in situ laser fenestration (ISLF), aortic branches are covered and flow is restored with in situ fenestration of the stent graft, with promising midterm results. This study aimed to expand on the limited body of knowledge of midterm outcomes of ISLF in renovisceral aortic pathology in a multicentre setting.

Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is a common treatment for severe aortic stenosis (AS), but it carries the risk of severe complications, including device embolization. We present a case of a TAVR valve embolization into the left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT), diagnosed with transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) shortly after device deployment. The dislodged valve was successfully retrieved from the LVOT into the aorta, flattened, and stabilized with a thoracic endovascular aneurysm repair (TEVAR) stent, enabling the successful implantation of a new TAVR valve.

Background: Advancement in endovascular endografts have paved the way to the possibility of performing endovascular aortic arch repair in recent years. This has started to supersede the need for open aortic arch surgery. There remains a paucity of data looking into the quality of life comparison between open aortic arch surgery and endovascular aortic arch repair.

Background: The optimal treatment of complicated type B aortic dissection (cTBAD) involving arch anomalies remain unclear.

Methods: We consecutively enrolled patients with cTBAD involving arch anomalies who underwent endovascular repair using a single-branched stent graft (SBSG) at our medical center between January 2020 and January 2023. The demographics, clinical manifestation, operation detail, and follow-up outcomes of these patients were retrospectively collected and analyzed.
