The purpose of this article is to review and update the current status carotid artery stent placement in world. Surveys major interventional centers Europe, North South America, Asia were initially completed June 1997. Subsequent information from these 24 addition 12 new has been obtained information. survey asked various questions regarding patients enrolled, procedure techniques, results stenting, including complications restenosis. total number endovascular procedures that have performed...
Our purpose was to review the current status of carotid artery stent placement throughout world. Surveys were sent major interventional centers in Europe, North and South America, Asia. Information from peer-reviewed journals also included supplemented survey. The survey asked various questions regarding patients enrolled, procedure techniques, results stenting, including complications restenosis. Of which surveys, 24 responded. total number endovascular procedures that have been performed...
Purpose: To examine the structure and healing characteristics of chronically implanted Stentor endografts that were explanted due to migration, endoleak, thrombosis, or aneurysm expansion. Methods: The devices harvested following reoperation (n = 5) autopsy 1) with implantation times ranging from 13 53 months. Structural modifications metal components examined using radiography, endoscopy, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Specimens taken modular stent-grafts histologically scanning electron...
To report the results of a multicenter safety trial percutaneous carotid stenting performed by vascular surgeons.Symptomatic or asymptomatic patients > = 65 years age with internal artery (ICA) stenoses 70% and < 2-cm long were eligible for enrollment. The procedures in an operating room choice anesthesia access site at discretion surgeon. Only Palmaz stents used.From January 1, 1996 to December 31, 1997, 99 (74 men, mean 70 years, range 51 94) enrolled study. More than half (57 patients)...
To report the results of balloon angioplasty in recurrent carotid occlusive disease and evaluate potential for stent implantation.Between April 1991 September 1995, 15 patients with restenosis underwent 17 endoluminal procedures 3 common 14 internal arteries. Two postdilation complications (dissection acute occlusion) required prompt stenting; one artery was stented residual stenosis. One lesion also 6 months after initial angioplasty. stroke, 1 silent cerebral infarction, transient ischemic...
Femoral stenting has demonstrated inconsistent and often disappointing long-term results. To compare out experience, we retrospectively analyzed a series of patients who had Palmaz balloon-expandable stents placed exclusively for superficial femoral artery (SFA) lesions.From January 1990 to November 1993, 39 were evaluated claudication (79%) or critical ischemia in 42 limbs. The culprit lesions confined the SFA: 24 (57%) occlusions 18 (43%) stenoses, including 3 restenotic lesions. Stenting...
Purpose: To report the results of a multicenter safety trial percutaneous carotid stenting performed by vascular surgeons. Methods: Symptomatic or asymptomatic patients ≥ 65 years age with internal artery (ICA) stenoses 70% and ≤ 2-cm long were eligible for enrollment. The procedures in an operating room choice anesthesia access site at discretion surgeon. Only Palmaz stents used. Results: From January 1, 1996 to December 31, 1997, 99 (74 men, mean 70 years, range 51 94) enrolled study. More...
The serum of a 44-yr-old woman French-Canadian descent having B-27 positive ankylosing spondylitis was deficient in the seventh component complement (C7) as determined by hemolytic and immunochemical methods. No inhibitor against C7 detected, levels all other components were normal. deficiency opsonic activity found, results basic coagulation studies plasma On investigation patient's family, two sisters found to have same but otherwise good health. seven siblings heterozygous for deficiency,...
To explore the value of transcranial Doppler (TCD) ultrasonography in periprocedural monitoring patients undergoing angioplasty procedures for stenosis internal carotid artery.Thirty-two were included study between April 1991 and September 1995 (6 females, 26 males; average age 66 years). All interrogated before after by a standard TCD examination protocol. Intraprocedurally, was used continuously to monitor cerebral blood flow supply evidence embolic particulates. Nineteen treated...
To describe a direct percutaneous carotid access technique for artery stenting (CAS) that circumvents the potential embolization can occur during catheter manipulation in aortic arch femoral access.After inducing anesthesia, an ultrasound transducer is placed at base of neck above clavicle. A 21-G, 7-cm needle from micropuncture introducer used single-wall puncture common (CCA). 0.018-inch guidewire inserted into placement 4-F, 10-cm introducer. After placing 0.035-inch angled external...
Surgery remains the standard option to treat symptomatic or complicated aneurysms of extracranial internal carotid arteries (EICA). When located more distally EICA, surgery appears be very invasive and disabling. Endovascular treatment high aneurysmal EICA has been poorly reported. We report our experience in this particular field.We treated five endovascularly, using covered stents stentgrafts four patients, two males females. One male was bilaterally. The average age 59.2 years (39-80)....
