Bronchial artery aneurysm (BAA) is a rare and fatal condition that requires immediate treatment. In the present case, a 76-year-old hypertensive woman was admitted with dizziness and diagnosed with an unruptured bronchial artery aneurysm, which was treated by transcatheter arterial embolization and aortic stent-graft.
(Gore) announced recent FDA approval of a lower profile GORE VIABAHN VBX Balloon Expandable Endoprosthesis ( VBX Stent Graft ). 1-3 "Our team is pleased to be the first commercial implanter of the new lower profile VBX Stent Graft," said Darren Schneider , M.D., No changes to the stent design were made to achieve the lower profile.
Objective This study aims to review the application of deep learning techniques in the imaging diagnosis and treatment of aortic aneurysm (AA), focusing on screening, diagnosis, lesion segmentation, surgical assistance, and prognosis prediction. Results Deep learning models demonstrated significant advancements in AA management.
BackgroundAbdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a localized bulge of the abdominal aorta, which mainly manifests as a pulsatile mass in the abdomen. Once an abdominal aortic aneurysm ruptures, the patient's life is seriously endangered. Surgery is the preferred treatment for abdominal aortic aneurysm.
There are QS-waves in V1-V3 suggesting old anterior MI with persistent ST Elevation (LV aneurysm morphology), but I have written a couple papers showing that in LV aneurysm, the T-wave is not > 0.36 T/QRS Amplitude Best Distinguishes Acute Anterior MI from Anterior Left Ventricular Aneurysm. Smith : "What was the outcome?"
BackgroundThe risk of limb graft occlusion (LGO) after endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) is increased by severe tortuosity of the iliac artery. The primary outcomes were the incidence of limb occlusion and technical success during the follow-up period. In contrast, group B consisted of those who did not receive a BMS.
IntroductionFlow diversion (FD) is commonly used for the treatment of aneurysms involving the ophthalmic segment of the carotid artery (COA). The origin of the ophthalmic artery (OA) in relation to the aneurysm sac can affect recurrence and complications. directly from the aneurysm fundus, B. aneurysm neck, C.
A male in his 40's who had been discharged 6 hours prior after stenting of an inferoposterior STEMI had sudden severe SOB at home 2 hours prior to calling 911. So it would be wise to look at the pre-discharge ECG, which was available: There are Q-waves and ST elevation on this pre-discharge (post-stent) ECG. He had no chest pain.
Background and Purpose:The flow diverter (FD) has dramatically improved the treatment outcome of large / giant internal carotid artery (IC) aneurysms. However, it is difficult to predict the treatment outcome of FD just after the treatment. Stroke, Volume 55, Issue Suppl_1 , Page ATP151-ATP151, February 1, 2024.
BACKGROUNDThe optimal endovascular approach for acutely ruptured wide‐neck intracranial aneurysms remains uncertain, and the use of stent‐assisted coiling or flow diversion is controversial due to antiplatelet therapy requirements and potential risks. Stroke: Vascular and Interventional Neurology, Ahead of Print. versus BAC: 2.8%;P=
IntroductionThe optimal endovascular approach for wide‐neck intracranial aneurysms (IAs) during the acute phase of bleeding remains uncertain, and the use of stent‐assisted coiling or flow diversion is controversial due to antiplatelet therapy requirements and potential risks (1, 2). Of the patients, 60.5%
IntroductionTo provide our single‐institution experience and outcome data with the WEB device in 51 patients treated for ruptured and unruptured intracranial aneurysms.MethodsOcclusion rates in a cohort of 51 patients treated with WEB were collected at time of procedure and at last follow‐up between the years 2019 and 2021.
Old ‘NSTEMI’ A history of coronary artery disease and a stent to the same territory further increases pre-test likelihood of acute coronary occlusion, including in-stent thrombosis. The patient had a history of ‘NSTEMI’ a decade prior, with an RCA stent. Does this change your interpretation?
IntroductionIntracranial aneurysms, both ruptured and unruptured, pose a significant risk to the general population. Cases of unruptured intracranial aneurysms (UIA) are estimated to affect roughly 3% of the general population and aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) have an incidence of 8 to 9 people per 100,000.
IntroductionBasilar‐tip aneurysm (BTA) is the most common aneurysm found in the posterior circulation, representing 5–8% of total intracranial aneurysms. For ruptured aneurysms, Adjuvant therapy (BAC or SAC) was used to treat larger dimension aneurysms compared to CE (p = 0.046). vs. 10.7%).
All three lesions had TIMI 2 flow prior to stenting. This is an RAO cranial projection of the left coronary vessels after thrombectomy and stenting. The LV aneurysm morphology persists. Here, the mid LAD (blue arrow) and the ostial first diagonal (green arrow) stenoses are better visualized. This is the RAO caudal projection.
Introduction:The management of wide-necked internal carotid artery (ICA) aneurysms is technically challenging with established endovascular and microsurgical techniques that are limited by the associated morbidity and/or recurrence. Median aneurysm and neck size were 5.8 mm (IQR: 4.0-7.5) At a median 10.1 months (IQR: 6.3-12.6),
IntroductionIndications for flow diversion for the treatment of cerebral aneurysms have increased remarkably in recent years.1 1 This has been particularly useful for aneurysms that are difficult to treat via endosaccular or open approaches, such as pseudoaneurysms.2
Due to the rarity of iatrogenic CeAD, existing literature on management and outcomes is limited. 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. One patient was symptomatic with neck pain.
Submitted and written by Alex Bracey with edits by Pendell Meyers and Steve Smith Case A 50ish year old man with a history of CAD w/ prior LAD MI s/p LAD stenting presented to the ED with chest pain similar to his prior MI, but worse. The patient underwent successful placement of one drug eluting stent with restoration of TIMI 3 flow.
Studies reporting results of patients who underwent diagnostic angiograms, endovascular management of acute stroke, aneurysm repair, and carotid or vertebral stenting were included. Our primary outcome was technical success, defined as successful arterial access and completion of the intended procedure without crossover.
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.
A CT was completed to rule out dissection, PE, or aneurysm, and this was unremarkable. Smith comment: We have shown that use of opiates is associated with worse outcomes in ACS: Bracey, A. A single DES stent was placed, and the patient did well post-procedure. mg/dL, K 3.5 Another 162mg ASA and heparin were given at this point.
IntroductionThe use of detachable coils for endovascular embolization of cerebral aneurysms has become a safe and effective alternative to direct surgical clipping in patients with ruptured aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage. The post‐procedural complication rate proved to be higher than in non‐ruptured stent‐assisted coiling.
Introduction:Although flow diverters (FD) are a long-established treatment-option for brain aneurysms, the evidence of data associated with therapy success is still based on relatively small heterogeneous studies. Median diameter and neck width of aneurysms were 7.2 91.7% (719) of aneurysms were saccular. mm (IQR, 5-11) and 6.5
INFINITY-SWEDEHEART Trial: This randomized controlled trial, developed by Elixir Medical, compared the DynamX® Coronary Bioadaptor System with the Resolute Onyx drug-eluting stent. Watch here! ILRs may benefit BrS patients with unexplained syncope. Read the published study. APPROACH-IS II First Findings: Prof.
A middle-aged male with h/o CAD and stents presented with typical chest pressure. An elderly patient with a ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm: Formal ECG Interpretation (final read in the chart!) : "Inferior ST elevation, lead III, with reciprocal ST depression in aVL." This is a very common misread. What do you think?
It was treated with and dual "kissing balloons" and drug eluting stents. Here is the post stent ECG: There is greater than 50% resolution of ST elevation (all but diagnostic of successful reperfusion) and Terminal T-wave inversion (also highly suggestive of successful reperfusion). Perhaps she will not develop an LV aneurysm.
BackgroundFormation of local type aortic aneurysm years after surgical repair of coarctation (CoA) occurs in 10% of patients independent of the surgical technique and is a potentially life-threatening condition if left untreated with a high risk of aortic rupture.
No thoracic aortic hematoma, aneurysm or dissection. A paradox in the literature: All trials of very early intervention for NSTEMI which do not exclude patients with persistent chest pain show that intervention in < 2 hours results in a better outcome. First obtuse marginal also had an 80% stenosis and was stented.
