To present our initial experience with the use of chimney grafts in endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) challenging anatomy.Among 390 EVAR cases performed at institution between November 2008 and February 2010, 15 patients (all men; mean age 81.8 years) underwent synchronous placement grafts. The technique involved placing covered stents parallel to main stent-graft preserve or rescue flow branch vessels while extending proximal fixation zone. All presented...
Purpose: To evaluate the short- and midterm outcomes of Viabahn endoprosthesis with Propaten Bioactive Surface vs. standard balloon angioplasty for treatment in-stent restenosis in superficial femoral artery. Methods: Between June 2010 February 2012, 83 patients artery Rutherford category 2 to 5 ischemia were enrolled at 7 sites participating this prospective randomized controlled study (RELINE; ClinicalTrials.gov; identifier NCT01108861). The either heparin-bonded (n=39: 29 men; mean age...
To assess the anatomical suitability of new off-the-shelf multibranched endograft (t-branch) in patients with thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms (TAAA) previously treated by means custom-made endografts.Clinical and radiological data 43 consecutive (34 men; mean age 72 years) Crawford types I (n=1), II (n=16), III (n=18), or IV (n=8) TAAAs endografts between June 2008 February 2013 were retrospectively reviewed. Primary t-branch device was assessed using 3-dimensional computed tomographic...
Purpose: To evaluate the incidence and reasons for secondary procedures in patients treated with iliac branch devices (IBDs) isolated aneurysm or aortoiliac aneurysms involving bifurcation. Methods: Between January 2005 December 2015, 575 surgical-high-risk (mean age 72.0±8.4 years; 558 men) (n=79) bifurcation (n=496) were placement of 650 ZBIS Gore IBDs (75 bilateral) 6 European centers. The primary outcome was procedure-related reinterventions occlusion high-grade (>70%) stenosis...
Objective: To analyze the outcomes of urgent/emergent endovascular aortic repair patients with free/contained ruptured thoracoabdominal aneurysms (rTAAA). Background: Endovascular rTAAA has been scarcely described in emergent setting. Methods: An international multicenter retrospective observational study (ClinicalTrials.govID:NCT05956873) from January-2015 to January-2023 6 European and 1 United States Vascular Surgery Centers. Primary end-points were technical success, 30-day and/or...
To present a clinical experience with the use of chimney grafts in endovascular repair aortic arch pathologies involving supra-aortic branches.The technique consists stent or stent-graft placement parallel to main order preserve rescue flow branch vessels and allow proximal extension endograft fixation zones. Between April 2009 January 2011, 9 patients (7 men; mean age 58 years, range 39-76) had installed left subclavian artery (LSA) common carotid (LCCA) during urgent thoracic (TEVAR) 5...
To investigate the secondary procedures in patients with previous endovascular aortic repair by fenestrated or branched stent-grafts for aneurysms involving renal and visceral vessels.Between January 2001 May 2010, 107 consecutive high-risk (97 men; mean age 73 years, range 50-86) arteries were treated techniques. A custom-made Zenith graft was used all patients. All graft-related performed perioperative period during follow-up analyzed. Estimates of survival, freedom from migration/type I...
To retrospectively evaluate the long-term outcome of bell-bottom technique for endovascular repair common iliac artery (CIA) aneurysms.Between September 2003 and 2008, 89 patients (84 men; mean age 73.7+/-8.4 years) with aortic CIA aneurysms were treated at 2 European centers extension cuffs or large limbs that gave a configuration to portion an aortoiliac stent-graft. The maximum diameter was 65.7+/-12.3 mm (range 42-98), 22.1+/-3.0 20-30).Technical success achieved in 97.8% (87/89). There...
PurposeTo present the 24-month radiological follow-up data for patients with pararenal aortic pathologies treated chimney and periscope grafts during endovascular repair.MethodsBetween January 2008 December 2011, 124 high-risk complex were using technique at 2 European vascular cardiovascular centers advanced experience of described technique. In particular, 50 Site 1 74 2. Forty (32.2%) (32 men; mean age 79.2±4.9 years) completed computed tomographic angiography 24 months...
To assess the feasibility and safety of first commercially available off-the-shelf multibranched endograft for total endovascular repair thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms (TAAA).Between November 2012 May 2013, 15 patients (10 men; mean age 70 years) with TAAA underwent implantation Zenith t-Branch device, which received European marketing approval in late 2012. Three presented symptomatic TAAAs, 2 had a chronic Stanford type B dissection false lumen expansion. In retrospective review...
To assess the feasibility and midterm outcomes of iliac branch devices (IBD) for treatment aneurysmal distal seal zones after endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR).Between January 2005 2014, 188 patients with aortic aneurysms involving bifurcation underwent IBD implantation; these, 18 consecutive (17 men; mean age 70±10 years) were treated degeneration 22 (mean 36±6-mm diameter) EVAR. The main outcome measure was technical success. Further primary assisted patency internal branch, types Ib/III...
Purpose: To assess the feasibility and safety of intravascular lithotripsy (IVL) for enabling transfemoral abdominal (EVAR), thoracic (TEVAR), thoracoabdominal (BEVAR) endovascular aneurysm repair in patients with narrow calcified iliac arteries. Materials methods: Consecutive treated IVL severe narrowed access before EVAR, TEVAR, or BEVAR between November 2020 June 2022 were retrospectively evaluated. All anatomical characteristics acquired by multi-planar reconstruction preoperative...
To evaluate early and midterm results of the Endurant stent-graft in treatment abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs).From November 2007 to December 2009, 156 patients (142 men; mean age 73.6 years, range 51-90) were treated with at our center. More than half (106, 67.9%) had hostile proximal neck anatomy. Early (30-day) technical success, clinical major morbidity, mortality rates analyzed, as well estimated 2-year survival, freedom from types I/III endoleak, graft thrombosis, any device-related...
