We present the case of a young patient who sustained a gunshot wound to the abdomen initially treated with laparotomy and repair of small bowel, splenic vein and diaphragmatic injuries. Subsequent computed tomography (CT) performed for hemodynamic instability demonstrated a pseudoaneurysm involving the aorta and proximal celiac artery, with an associated aortocaval fistula. An attempt at transperitoneal repair of these injuries was aborted due to extensive inflammatory changes in the region encountered during exposure. Subsequently, a hybrid repair was performed. This consisted of exclusion of the aortic and celiac artery pseudoaneurysm using an endovascular aortic cuff (22 × 39 mm, Cook Medical) via infrarenal aortic access, surgical ligation of the celiac artery branches, and revascularization via bypass from the infrarenal aortic access site arteriotomy to the common hepatic artery.

We present a case of an 86-year-old female with chronic mesenteric ischemia secondary to long-segment flush occlusion of the superior mesenteric artery and near-total occlusion of the celiac artery. The superior mesenteric artery was unable to be revascularized by conventional antegrade approaches. Successful transcollateral crossing of the occluded superior mesenteric artery and body-flossing, followed by antegrade balloon angioplasty, shockwave lithotripsy, and stent implantation were performed.

Introduction And Importance: Splenic artery aneurysm is extremely rare but potentially life threatening disease which poses great challenge in diagnosing due to non-specific nature of clinical presentation. Rarely, it presents with upper gastrointestinal bleeding i.e.

Objective: Paravisceral aortic lesions present significant challenges for endovascular treatment. This retrospective analysis of consecutively treated patients from April 2017 to June 2021 aimed to analyse the outcome of primary intra-operative embolisation of aortic complicated pseudoaneurysms and gutter channels during parallel graft (PG) repair of paravisceral symptomatic aortic pseudoaneurysms.

Methods: Patients with symptomatic pseudoaneurysms of the paravisceral aorta treated with PGs using chimney or periscope configurations were included.

Purpose: The use of surgeon-modified fenestrated endograft to treat a bleeding complication in the common iliac artery.

Technique: An Endurant limb graft was modified on back table in theater after planning the fenestration using a semi-automated centerline. The Endurant stent was planned to land flush at the aortic bifurcation.

Introduction/aim: The partial deployment technique (PDT) is an unconventional option of T-branch deployment to allow target arteries (TAs) cannulation/stenting from the upper arm access, in case of narrow (NPA: <25mm) or severely angulated (APA: >60°) aorta. Aim of this study was to report outcomes of the endovascular repair of complex aortic (c-AAAs) and thoracoabdominal (TAAAs) aneurysms by T-branch and PDT.

Methods: All consecutive patients underwent urgent endovascular repair of c-AAAs and TAAAs by T-branch (Cook-Medical, Bloomington, IN, US) and PDT from 2021 to 2023 were analyzed.
