Endovascular treatment of postdissection aortic aneurysms (PDAAs) is fascinating and challenging. The Colt branched graft (Jotec/Cryolife, Kennesaw, Georgia), because of its characteristics, can be used as an off-the-shelf device especially in urgent/emergency settings. In this report, we describe the first case of a PDAA successfully treated with a Colt device.

Background: The stent-assisted coiling (SAC) and flow-diverter stent (FDS) techniques are widely used in the endovascular treatment of paraclinoid aneurysms. This article compares the occlusion rate, periprocedural complications, and clinical outcomes of SAC and FDSs.

Methods: Between January 2010 and December 2020, a systematic search of electronic databases identified 2283 articles for screening.

Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) has become a standard procedure for performing coronary intervention, but its impact on peripheral endovascular therapy (EVT) remains unclear. To assess the usefulness of IVUS during EVT, this study analyzed over 2000 consecutive patients from the TOkyo-taMA peripheral vascular intervention research COmraDE (TOMA-CODE) registry with peripheral arterial disease (PAD) in Japan. The primary outcome was chronic limb events (a composite of clinically driven target lesion revascularization (cTLR) and major amputation) during a two-year follow-up period.

The Purpose: Evaluation of the short-term and long-term results of a phased correction of the tetralogy of Fallot (ToF) with stenting of the right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) in comparison with a one-stage total correction (TC) of the defect.

Materials And Methods: Two groups of patients with classical ToF were formed. Group 1 (n = 25; median age = 72 days) was initially represented by children with ToF with a more severe clinical status (median weight = 3.

Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a significant vascular condition characterized by the dilation of the abdominal aorta, presenting a substantial risk of rupture and associated high mortality rates. Current management strategies primarily rely on aneurysm diameter and growth rates to predict rupture risk and determine the timing of surgical intervention. However, this approach has limitations, as ruptures can occur in smaller AAAs below surgical thresholds, and many large AAAs remain stable without intervention.

This editorial provides a commentary on the recent article. The paper reviews current literature and explores innovative treatment strategies for lower extremity arteriosclerosis obliterans (LEASO) through an integrative approach. It highlights the effectiveness of combination therapies that merge traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) with Western medical practices, suggesting that such integrative methods may improve patient compliance and outcomes through personalized care.
