» TEVAR for secondary aortobronchial fistulas - Two cases with favorable long-term outcomes
27/02/19 00:00 from Annals of Vascular Surgery
Secondary aortobronchial fistula (ABF) is an uncommon clinical entity associated with increased mortality. Most common presentation is hemoptysis, ranging from repetitive self-limiting episodes to massive hematemesis. Mediastinitis (if p...

» Custom-Made Unibody Conical Endografts for Elective Endovascular Repair of Saccular Infrarenal Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms with Narrow Aortic Bifurcations—Novel Implementation of the Aortoaortic Concept
23/02/19 00:00 from Annals of Vascular Surgery
The aortoaortic concept for endovascular repair (EVAR) of infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) is nearly forgotten but may constitute a valuable option for focal pathologies. Herein, we describe our experience using custom-made (...

» A Case of Recurrent Secondary Aortoenteric Fistula 4 Months after Surgery Treated by Endovascular Coiling of the Aortic Stump and Bilateral Chimney Stent-Grafts to Renal Arteries
22/02/19 00:00 from Annals of Vascular Surgery
The treatment of recurrent aorto-enteric fistula (AEF) previously repaired by surgery is challenging, with a high mortality rate. Open repair is often limited by “hostile abdomen”, while endovascular treatment is difficult when the dista...

» Ruptured mycotic aneurysm after intravesical instillation for bladder tumor

» A Unique Bailout Method for the Repair of Abdominal Aortic Aneurism with a Narrow Iliac Bifurcation
22/02/19 00:00 from Annals of Vascular Surgery
Endovascular aneurism repair (EVAR)1 became the procedure of first choice for the repair of the abdominal aortic aneurisms (AAAs)2 in the last decades. However, narrow distal aorta remains to be the main limiting factor for the use of EV...
