Introduction: Flow diverter (FD) placement is widely accepted as a treatment for large saccular intracranial aneurysms. Delayed aneurysmal rupture (DAR) after FD placement is potentially catastrophic and difficult to treat. To our knowledge, using a Willis covered stent (WCS) to treat DAR after placement of a Pipeline Flex embolization device (PFED) combined with coiling has not been previously reported.
Case Presentation: A 49-year-old woman with an incidental asymptomatic large right supraclinoid internal carotid artery aneurysm was treated with PFED placement and adjunctive coiling. DAR causing subarachnoid hemorrhage occurred 11 hours after the procedure. Treatment using a WCS was successful and resulted in a favorable clinical outcome (modified Rankin scale score 2).
Conclusion: DAR after FD implantation requires isolation of the aneurysm from the cerebral circulation as soon as possible. WCS placement can achieve this immediately and occlude the aneurysm. We hope our case could provide new idea for similar cases in the future.

Despite the unique properties of clay nanocomposites for cardiovascular applications, there are few data on the hemocompatibility of these nanomaterials. This study represents the first comprehensive investigation of the hemo/biocompatibility of clay nanocomposites . Nanocomposite coatings of polylactic acid (PLA)-polyethylene glycol (3 wt %)-Cloisite20A nanoclay (3 wt %) were produced using electrospraying technique as potential drug-eluting stent (DES) coatings.

Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) is a treatment method that involves reopening narrowed arteries with a balloon catheter that delivers a cylindrical, mesh-shaped implant device to the site of the stenosis. Currently, by applying a coating to a bare metal stent (BMS) surface to improve biocompatibility, the main risks after PCI, such as restenosis and thrombosis, are reduced while maintaining the basic requirements for the mechanical behavior of the stent itself. In this work, for the first time, the development and optimization process of the spatial structure of the Co-Cr stent (L-605) with a graphene-based coating using cold-wall chemical vapor deposition (CW-CVD) to ensure uniform coverage of the implant was attempted.

Introduction: Since the mid-1900s, techniques in the repair of aortic arch and thoracoabdominal aortic pathologies have drastically evolved. Open aortic surgical repair was once the sole option for both simple and complex aneurysmal degeneration. Today, a number of minimally invasive and hybrid approaches are now available to assist both the surgeon and patient in tackling this challenging problem.

With an increasingly aging population, both end-stage renal disease and peripheral artery disease become more prevalent. Peripheral artery disease is increasingly treated with endovascular procedures. Endovascular stenting of the external iliac artery (EIA) is often considered a contraindication for kidney transplantation, as clamping of the artery could result in possible injuring of the stent.
