To evaluate the technical, radiological, and clinical outcomes after type 2 endoleak (T2EL) embolization in patients with a growing aneurysm sac endovascular aortic repair (EVAR).Additionally, to determine imaging-based factors for outcome prediction of T2EL. METHODSA single-institution, retrospective analysis was performed 60 who underwent T2EL procedure between September 2005 August 2016 treat diameter following EVAR.The patients' electronic medical records all available pre-and...
The risk of bridging stent occlusion after branched endovascular aortic repair (BEVAR) remains an issue. Currently, there is no clear recommendation on what kind antithrombotic therapy should be installed BEVAR. aim the study was to estimate impact postoperative rate elective An international multicenter retrospective analysis performed in 4 European tertiary vascular units. All reno-visceral target vessels treated with stents patients undergoing BEVAR use off-the-shelf or custom-made...
The aim of this study was to evaluate the feasibility an endovascular repair, using NEXUS™ Aortic Arch Stent Graft System, in a real-world cohort patients, treated with Frozen Elephant Trunk (FET) procedure for pathology involving aortic arch.The preoperative computed tomography angiography scans 37 patients were retrospectively analyzed dedicated workstation. In total, seven (N = 7/37; 18.9%) eligible repair. This number increased eleven 11/37; 29.7%) if additional relining distal aorta...
Background: Vascular graft infection is a feared complication with high mortality and morbidity rates. Complete excision in situ repair recommended. We report our experience patients suffering of abdominal aortic endograft undergoing reconstruction autologous vein. Patients Methods: All who underwent an superficial femoral veins between April 2005 June 2021 were retrospectively reviewed. Primary outcome measures reinfection. Secondary measure was patient morbidity. Results: Fifteen (14 male;...
Endoleaks remains a major determinant of outcome after endovascular aortic repair (EVAR) for infrarenal abdominal aneurysms. The objective this study is to evaluate the long-term impact proximal type 1 endoleak encountered at case end EVAR procedure or during follow-up.All patients treated with between February 2001 and August 2017 in our institution were included. Data collected retrospectively. A descriptive analysis subgroups 1a first follow-up was performed.In total, 468 included...
To evaluate the impact of a proactive surveillance program on functional access rate at time first dialysis.In January 2010, to intercept failures mature was set up University Hospitals Leuven. Patients receiving an arteriovenous fistula (AVF) for pre-dialysis end-stage renal disease between 2010 and May 2013 were retrospectively analyzed. The primary end-point AVF dialysis. Also, AVF- associated complications reinterventions Furthermore, primary, assisted secondary patency rates estimated...
Necrotizing fasciitis is a rare and aggressive soft tissue infection involving the fascia subcutaneous tissues. It carries high mortality morbidity rate.In literature, few case reports on necrotizing of breast, describe need for mastectomy in 90% cases.We report 72-year old Caucasian women with an atypical presentation breast combination acute abdomen, successfully treated breast-conserving debridement secondary wound closure.
Objective Thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) has become the standard of care for blunt thoracic injury (BTAI). Long-term effects TEVAR on diameter are not well studied. This study evaluates effect BTAI in mid- and long-term follow-up. Methods All patients treated with between August 2000 May 2016 were included. Maximum was measured at four predetermined levels preoperative first postoperative CT angiography (CTa) last control CTa or MR angiography: 1 cm proximal (D1) distal to left...
These datasets contain Computed Tomography (CT) images of 19 patients with Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA) together patient-specific geometry data and computational grids (finite element meshes) created from these applied in the research reported Journal Surgical Research article "Is There A Relationship Between Stress Walls Symptoms?"[1]. The were randomly selected retrospective database University Hospitals Leuven (Leuven, Belgium) provided to Western Australia's Intelligent Systems for...
