Bare metal stent application to prevent limb occlusion in iliac arteries with severe tortuosity during an endovascular aneurysm repair: a cohort study

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

BackgroundThe risk of limb graft occlusion (LGO) after endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) is increased by severe tortuosity of the iliac artery. Nonetheless, there were disparities in external iliac angioplasty between the two groups during the follow-up period (p < 0.05).ConclusionDeploying

Abstract 171: Embolization of non?ruptured intracranial aneurysms with flow diverter devices in Mexico: Quick responses

Stroke: Vascular and Interventional Neurology

IntroductionFlow diverters (FD) are stent‐type devices that enable the exclusion of intracranial aneurysms in clinical scenarios where coil‐type devices exhibit high failure rates. Adults older than 18 with non‐ruptured intracranial aneurysms were included. years (±13.3). years (±13.3).

Abstract TP247: Iatrogenic Cervical Artery Dissections during Endovascular Interventions

Stroke Journal

Of the 32 patients, 9(28.1%) had dissection with diagnostic angiograms, 6(18.8%) endovascular thrombectomy, 15(46.9%) aneurysm treatment, and 2(6.3%) angioplasty with or without stenting. Only 4(12.5%) were treated with hyperacute stenting. One patient was symptomatic with neck pain.

Four anterior STEMIs: acute and reperfused vs. won't reperfuse, subacute and reperfused vs. not reperfused

Dr. Smith's ECG Blog

Persistent ST elevation 3 days after a nearly transmural MI portends possible LV aneurysm. It is very unlikely to be LV aneurysm morphology when the ST elevation is so high and the T-Wave inversion is so deep. An open 90% LAD was stented. This 42 yo diabetic male presented with cough and foot pain. The LAD has reperfused early.

Aortic Aneurysms : An aneurysm is an abnormal bulge in a blood vessel wall. Vasculitis : Inflammation of blood vessels that can lead to organ damage or an aneurysm. Angioplasty & Stenting: Opens blocked arteries to improve blood flow. This can lead to a transient ischemic attack (TIA) or stroke.
