A delayed aneurysm rupture after flow diverter therapy is a rare but serious complication. Due to the anatomical specificity, a delayed rupture of a carotid cavernous aneurysm may cause a direct carotid cavernous fistula (dCCF). We present a novel therapeutic approach for treatment of dCCF after flow diverter therapy using the Pipeline embolization device (PED). An 86-year-old woman suffered from dCCF after PED embolization. A microcatheter was advanced through the transvenous approach into the cavernous sinus (CS) and further inserted into the aneurysm sac via the rupture point. Coil embolization of both the aneurysm sac and a small part of the CS adjacent to the fistulous site could achieve not only the immediate aneurysm occlusion but also the rupture point obliteration with a small amount of coil mass in the CS.

Purpose: In managing type 2 endoleak (T2EL) following endovascular aortic aneurysm repair (EVAR), an indication for reintervention is aneurysm enlargement (AnE). A previous study found that low D-dimer levels (DDLs) at 1 year were associated with reduced AnE risk in patients with persistent T2ELs (pT2ELs). This study analyzed patients with pT2ELs to determine the correlation between DDLs at annual follow-ups and AnE and proposed a follow-up protocol incorporating DDL monitoring.

Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is the focal dilation of the terminal aorta, which can lead to rupture if left untreated. Traditional endovascular aneurysm repair techniques are minimally invasive and pose low mortality rates compared with open surgical repair; however, endovascular aneurysm repair procedures face challenges in accommodating variations in the patient's anatomy. Complex aneurysms are defined when the sac extends past the renal arteries or has an insufficient neck landing zone to deploy a traditional endograft.

A case of a superior mesenteric artery aneurysm presented with an impending rupture. The aneurysm was located in the right side branch of the superior mesenteric artery. The patient underwent an emergency hybrid procedure, which included aneurysm embolization and exclusion of the aneurysm with an endoluminal stent graft.

Type II endoleaks after endovascular aortic repair are a common scenario that, although infrequently, may sometimes require secondary interventions when leading to significant enlargement of the aneurysm sac. Herein, we present the perioperative and mid-term results of one of our endovascular aortic repair cases with type II endoleak from the hypogastric artery, whose ostium was covered by the prior stent graft limbs and that were successfully treated with a novel technique employing re-entry catheters in an off-label fashion. This technique may represent a valid alternative solution when conventional access between artery and prosthesis is laborious or impossible to achieve.
