Original title: Endovascular Treatment of Aorto-iliac Aneurysms: Four-year Results of Iliac Branch Endograft. Reference: G. Pratesi et al. Eur J Vasc Endovasc Surg. 2013 Jun;45(6):607-9. Iliac bifurcated devices have proven to be effective in treating common iliac aneurysms but the findings are based on small series, generally from a sole center experience. This multicenter registry included 85 patients...
Original title: The Single-centre Experience of the Supra-arch Chimney Technique in Endovascular Repair of Type B Aortic Dissections. Reference: Y. Zhu et al. European Journal of Vascular and Endovascular Surgery Volume 45 Issue 6 June/2013. Endovascular repair of type B aortic dissection (TEVAR) involving the arch, requires special techniques to preserve supra aortic vessels as fenestrated prostheses or...
Original title: Outcomes of Endovascular Aneurysm Repair with 2 different Endograft Systems With Suprarenal Fixation in Patients With Hostile Infrarenal Aortic Anatomy. Reference: George A. Antomiuo et al. Vascular Endovascular Surgery 47(1):9-18 The unfavorable or hostile anatomy of abdominal aortic aneurysms is a limitation of endovascular treatment and is related to complications after implantation such as migration, the...
Original title: Comparison of fenestrated endovascular and open repair of abdominal aortic aneurysms not suitable for standard endovascular repair. Reference: Rana Canavati et al. J Vasc Surg 2013;57:362-7. Studies in patients with infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm that could receive a standard stent versus conventional surgery, showed reduced perioperative mortality with endovascular treatment. However, these same results in patients...
Original title: Outcomes of Endovascular Aneurysm Repair in Patients with Hostile Neck Anatomy Reference: Stather et al. European Journal of Vascular and Endovascular Surgery 44 (2012) 556-561. Endovascular treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysms (EVAR) has already shown benefits in terms of mortality compared with conventional surgery. The disadvantages of EVAR are reinterventions for endoleaks, migration or device failure...
Below, we share March’s most read scientific abstracts in interventional cardiology at solaci.org. ACC 2023 | YELLOW III Study. Effect of Evolocumab on Coronary Plaque Characteristics in Stable Coronary Artery Disease Dr. Kini presented the results of the YELLOW III Study where she analyzed the effect of evolocumab on coronary plaque in patients with stable...
At present, the transfemoral access (TFA) is the preferred approach when it comes to transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). However, 5 to10% of PAD patients present tortuous iliac anatomy and calcification, aortic aneurysms or prior peripheral intervention, which makes it impossible. There are several alternatives to approach these patients: 1) TFA associated to peripheral PCI...
Takayasu arteritis (TAK) is an uncommon granulomatous large-vessel vasculitis that affects the aorta and its primary branches. The most frequently types of observed vascular compromise are obstructive lesions, and aneurysmal vascular lesions or dissections. In 2021, the American College of Rheumatology recommended not to implement percutaneous intervention (PI) with these patients and only use immunosuppressive...
A new year is coming to an end and at SOLACI we are going over the most read studies on our website, on a vital topic, peripheral vascular disease. Follow us to keep up to date. 01- SOLACI PERIPHERAL | 6th Clinical Case: Common, Superficial and Deep Femoral Artery Recanalization Dr. Ana Paula Mollón (Arg.)...
01- Management of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms in 2021 Abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) are those of >3 cm aortic diameter. They run the risk of rupture and ensuing death by bleeding. In consequence, they are treated to repair the aneurysm before it ruptures. Read more HERE 02- Ten Commandments for 2021 Guidelines on Valvular Heart Disease Since...
