07/11/18 00:00 from European Journal of Vascular & Endovascular Surgery
Carotid stenosis patients are at risk of vascular events despite antiplatelet therapy. Data on prescribed antiplatelet regimens have not been comprehensively collated from trials to guide optimal therapy in this population.

» Mid-term Results of a Novel Dedicated Venous Stent for the Treatment of Chronic Thoracic Central Vein Obstruction of Benign Aetiology
04/11/18 00:00 from European Journal of Vascular & Endovascular Surgery
Endovascular treatment is indicated for the treatment of symptomatic thoracic central vein obstruction (TCVO) but is limited by high rates of restenosis and the need for re-intervention. The aim was to assess the safety and mid-term pate...

» A Stent Graft Visualised Through an Infected Haemodialysis Graft Pseudoaneurysm
03/11/18 00:00 from European Journal of Vascular & Endovascular Surgery
A 64 year old male presented with two needlestick pseudoaneurysms of a brachio-axillary PTFE haemodialysis graft; these were repaired by endovascular means using 7 × 40 mm and 7 × 60 mm Covera stent grafts (Bard, Tempe, AZ, USA) with per...

» The Safari for Adequate Landing Zones in EVAR Continues: Bilateral Use of Cook Zenith Iliac Branch Devices
02/11/18 00:00 from European Journal of Vascular & Endovascular Surgery
The ultimate and durable exclusion of an abdominal aortic aneurysm requires adequate proximal and distal sealing zones. Fenestrated devices offer a solution for proximal extension. However, distal targetting into the external iliac arter...
