Endovascular Repair of a Distal Aortic Arch Pseudoaneurysm with Use of a Scallop-edged Stent-graftEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Pseudoaneurysm of the aortic arch is an unusual complication of arch vessel bypass and poses a complex surgical challenge. Operative management may involve open thoracotomy, cardiopulmonary bypass, and aortic arch repair, all of which carry significant morbidity and mortality. LeMaire et al () analyzed 1,220 consecutive patients undergoing thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm repair via multiple logistic regression with stepwise model selection. The result showed that 58 patients (4.8%) died within 30 days and 56 patients (4.6%) developed paraplegia or paraparesis (). Although some series of stent-graft treatment of the descen...

Direct Erosion and Prolapse of Esophageal Stents into the Tracheobronchial Tree Leading to Life-threatening Airway CompromiseEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Covered or uncovered self-expanding metal stents are currently used for the palliative treatment of neoplastic esophageal obstructions or compressions and malignant esophageal leaks or fistulas. This small series, from three different European hospitals, highlights the unusual but significant complication of esophageal stent perforation followed by erosion and prolapse of the endoprosthesis into the tracheobronchial tree causing acute airway compromise or aspiration. Possible causal mechanisms and means of treatment are discussed to raise physician awareness of this life-threatening complication. (Source: Journal of Vascul...

Radiofrequency Ablation in Breast Tissue: Experimental Study for Evaluation of Radiofrequency Effects in the Bovine Udder and Review of the LiteratureEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusions: The results of the study, with clear demarcation of the ablation zones and transition zones in the normal breast tissue, support the potential of breast thermal ablation as a viable treatment for further study. Lactating tissue does not seem ideal for thermal ablation. The discrepancy of the extent of ablation and the length of the electrodes is an important finding in this study. Further in vivo studies in normal glandular tissue and tumor are necessary. (Source: Journal of Vascular and Interventional Radiology : JVIR)

A 52-year-old woman with elevated liver enzyme levels was referred to the interventional radiology department for a percutaneous liver biopsy. She had a previous surgery for a type I choledochal cyst for which a Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy was performed. Her medical history was otherwise unremarkable and she had no preexisting liver disorder. The procedure was performed under moderate sedation. After infiltrating the skin and liver capsule with local anesthetic agent, a 17-gauge needle was advanced under ultrasound guidance into the left lobe of the liver with a subcostal window. This is the routine access employed for l...

Endovascular Retrieval of Intracardiac Inferior Vena Cava Filters: A Review of Published TechniquesEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Endovascular retrieval of intracardiac or intrapulmonary inferior vena cava (IVC) filters provides a less-invasive alternative to surgery; however, only a few publications provide details describing this approach. The authors searched the medical literature and identified 42 endovascular attempts in 35 publications. There were 29 successful retrievals from the heart (n = 28) and pulmonary artery (n = 1), with only one reported fatality. Of the 13 failed attempts, there were three reported deaths. The authors of 19 reports provided details of their technique. The endovascular approach provides a reasonable alternative treat...

Research Reporting Standards for Percutaneous Vertebral AugmentationEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
SINCE the first description of vertebroplasty in 1987 for the treatment of aggressive hemangiomas (), vertebroplasty has become established as a safe and effective, minimally invasive procedure that offers a therapeutic option for patients with back pain from osteoporotic or tumor-related fractures. This initial success has spawned additional techniques for percutaneous vertebral augmentation, in which imaging guidance is used to inject radiopaque bone cement into a painful osteoporotic or neoplastic lesion in the spine. The typical treatment for a vertebral compression fracture involves the injection of bone cement into t...

Endovascular Repair of Two Tandem Profunda Femoris Artery AneurysmsEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Isolated aneurysms of the profunda femoris artery (PFA) are rare and account for only 0.5% of all peripheral aneurysms and 1%–2.6% of all femoral aneurysms. However, PFA aneuryms have a higher rate of rupture than other peripheral aneurysms and are associated with significant morbidity (). PFA aneurysms have an asymptomatic course and are not easily detected unless they are complicated with rupture or critical limb ischemia; indeed, approximately 58% of patients present with a complicated PFA aneurysm (). In general, repair is indicated when their diameter exceeds 2 cm, even if they are asymptomatic (). Surgical arterial...

Endovascular Repair of an Arteriovenous Fistula after Intervertebral Disk Surgery: Case ReportEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Vascular injuries that complicate intervertebral disk surgery are rare. Despite being well-described, their clinical presentation is often overlooked. The authors report the delayed diagnosis of an arteriovenous fistula following disk surgery that led to advanced congestive failure and pulmonary hypertension mistakenly attributed to hepatic failure. Because endovascular repair offers complete resolution, accurate diagnosis is essential. The authors review the vascular injuries that can occur with disk surgery and the successful outcome with endovascular repair. (Source: Journal of Vascular and Interventional Radiology : JVIR)

Congenital Single, Pelvic Iliac Artery: A Case ReportEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Congenital vascular anomalies of pelvis and lower limb arteries are rare. During embryologic development, the sciatic artery represents the dominant supplier of blood to the lower limb. The external iliac and femoral arteries appear later in the process and take over as the sciatic artery regresses. Failure of the sciatic artery to regress creates a persistent sciatic artery malformation. Failure of the external iliac artery to properly bud may lead to similar vascular malformations. The authors present a patient with atresia of the left external iliac artery with an associated atresia of the left common iliac vein, duplic...
