A case of a femoropopliteal recanalization procedure using a new bailout technical maneuver to aid reentry into the true lumen is described. After a failed standard reentry attempt, at the level of the vessel reconstitution in the subintimal space, the guidewire was exchanged for a GooseNeck Snare Kit. A needle was inserted across the target artery, piercing both arterial walls and passing through the snare loop. Once the needle had exited the artery, a wire was inserted and the needle withdrawn. The snare was closed, withdrawn, and the wire externalized through the femoral access. Finally, a catheter was advanced from the antegrade sheath up to the arterial reconstitution. Selective injection at the site of reentry confirmed the intraluminal position, and the procedure was successfully completed from the antegrade sheath.

Antegrade femoral puncture Using a Suture-Mediated Closure Device in infrainguinal endovascular interventions.

Introduction: ProGlide is a suture-mediated vascular closure device (VCD) indicated for retrograde access closure at the common femoral artery (CFA). However, its off-label use for antegrade and/or superficial femoral artery (SFA) access has become common in many practices. This study evaluated the efficacy and safety of ProGlide for femoral artery access closure in patients undergoing antegrade infrainguinal endovascular procedures.

Antegrade Fenestration During Thoracic Endovascular Aortic Repair for Preserving Isolated Left Vertebral Artery.

Article Synopsis
  • An isolated left vertebral artery (ILVA) is often affected by aortic arch pathologies, and preserving its blood flow during endovascular repair can be challenging, with no clear consensus on the best strategy.
  • This case report details a successful endovascular procedure in a 72-year-old man with an ILVA, where a novel technique called antegrade needle-assisted fenestration was used to revascularize the artery without traditional surgical methods.
  • The patient had a favorable outcome, with follow-up imaging showing a patent ILVA and good aortic remodeling, suggesting this technique could be a valuable option for similar cases.

Background: Hemostatic devices are now frequently used in femoral artery punctures, and the Angio-Seal (Terumo, Tokyo, Japan) is one of the most commonly used devices for closure of the femoral artery because it provides rapid hemostasis. Although device failure rarely occurs, if the collagen falls into the femoral artery, it may lead to severe limb ischemia. Herein, we describe a case of a novel endovascular technique for the treatment of Angio-Seal arterial closure device failure.

Background: Endovascular treatment of aortic diseases with complex anatomy may require an additional upper extremity arterial access (like axillary access) for support during aortic navigation and allowing the use of larger sheaths for thoracoabdominal antegrade access. The objective of this study is to evaluate the safety of the open axillary approach as adjuvant access in complex thoracoabdominal aortic endovascular interventions.

Methods: A monocentric retrospective study was performed, including all patients with a complex aortic endovascular procedure (fEVAR, bEVAR, chEVAR or TEVAR), elective or urgent, with open surgical exposure of the axillary artery as adjuvant access, between 2012 and 2022.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study aimed to evaluate a new technique for treating dialysis access stenosis where blockages occur on both the anastomotic and central venous sides, using a single sheath for bidirectional percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA).
  • - Involving 20 patients with 26 cases, the procedures were performed in an outpatient setting, utilizing a vertical puncture approach. Sheath inversion was successfully completed in all cases, which simplified the process by eliminating the need for additional sheath placements.
  • - Results showed successful PTA in all cases without major complications, with data collected on vessel diameter, sheath inversion success, and primary patency rates up to one year, indicating the effectiveness and safety of this technique.
