Atherosclerosis accounts for most adult cases of renal artery stenoses (RAS). Revascularization of atherosclerotic RAS is beneficial in terms of improved blood pressure control, preservation of renal function and overall decrease of cardiovascular risk, in particular in mononephric patients. Endovascular stenting has been proven superior to percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) alone in terms of initial success and restenosis rates in atherosclerotic RAS.

In western countries, the use of a balloon-expandable covered stent is recommended for the treatment of native coarctation of the aorta (CoA) in adult patients because endovascular bare stents cannot completely prevent complications such as aneurysms or aortic rupture. However, such a product that is appropriate and officially approved is not available in Japan. We developed and used a handmade balloon-expandable covered stent in a 32-year-old patient with native CoA and achieved a good outcome.

Fibrosing mediastinitis is a rare benign condition, which can cause compression of the pulmonary or systemic vessels, tracheobronchial tree, coronary arteries or esophagus, leading to disabling clinical symptoms and even death. The case of a 26-year-old woman who presented with dyspnea is described. She was found to have 80% stenosis of the right pulmonary artery secondary to fibrosing mediastinitis.

We analyzed 14 cases of new lesions inside implanted bare-metal stents. In every case, there was no angiographic restenosis within 3 years, but a new lesion was observed inside a stented segment at long-term follow-up (>5 years). Fourteen cases were evaluated: 9 with Wiktor stents, 2 with Palmaz-Schatz stents, and 3 with ACS Multilink stents.
