Introduction: The VIABAHN Open Revascularisation TEChnique (VORTEC) was initially described for visceral revascularisation and supra-aortic reconstruction for complex aortic hybrid surgery. Herein is reported the use of this innovative technique for revascularisation of the iliofemoral arteries.
Report: The use of the VORTEC to perform proximal anastomosis of a prosthetic iliofemoral bypass in two symptomatic patients with heavily calcified iliac artery lesions and redo surgery, respectively, is reported.
Discussion: In case of loco-regional hostile conditions, a sutureless telescoping iliac anastomosis should be considered as a valuable adjunct in iliofemoral revascularisation.

Carotid blowout syndrome (CBS) is a critical and often fatal complication associated with head and neck malignancies. CBS is characterized by 3 stages as follows: threatened, impending, and acute rupture or hemorrhage. The condition is notably linked with a history of radiotherapy for head and neck cancers, with an incidence of approximately 3-4% among those who have received such treatments.

Purpose: This technical note presents a case of a patient with a failed Nellix device (Endologix, Irvine, Calif) who was not deemed fit for open conversion. Our planned approach for repair involved an endovascular procedure utilizing a custom-made branched device.
Technique: An endovascular repair was performed via a custom-made four outer branched device in conjunction with a custom-made bifurcated graft featuring inverted limbs (Cook Inc.
Safety and efficacy of covered stent grafts in the treatment of emergent access related complications.

Article Synopsis
- The study evaluates the safety and effectiveness of covered stent grafts for repairing vascular access complications resulting from large bore procedures, such as bleeding and dissections.
- It involves a retrospective analysis of 147 stent grafts used on 136 patients, focusing on the success of the procedures and long-term patency.
- Results show a 100% primary technical success rate and 99% patency at the 3-year follow up, suggesting stent grafts are a viable alternative to open surgery for treating these injuries.

Deep venous arterialization (DVA) is a final option for limb salvage in patients with end stage arterial anatomy. We report a 66-year-old dialysis dependent male with forefoot gangrene, Rutherford class 6 chronic limb ischemia, who required a redo endovascular DVA. On initial presentation an angiogram was demonstrated a desert foot with absent tibial runoff to his bilateral lower extremities.
