Learn how to approach a procedure of AV Fistula complex restenosis step-by-step through taped case demonstrations featuring vessel prep with HP Balloons followed by DCB. Recorded webinar by Vascupedia.
Unfortunately, sometimes happens that we can not save a leg with our interventions. Here only the amputation remains. In this short film from the series “Basic vascular surgery skills” – you can follow the individual steps for disarticulation in the knee joint as a major amputation of the lower leg.

Endoanchors in addition to TEVAR or EVAR may be used to achieve a tight fixation of aortic stent grafts to the aortic wall, avoiding migration and reducing the risk of Type I endoleaks and procedure failure and eventually gain long term durability.
This video is a clinical example of how In the thoracic scenario, its proper use allows the treatment of descending thoracic ulcers or aneurysms with short, tapered or angulated distal necks, avoiding the use of more extended procedures like FEVAR or BEVAR, saving time, expenses and reducing procedure invasivity.
This is a current review of the literature regarding the endovascular treatment of the CFA disease presented during the AMP meeting in Chicago. Which treatment modality showed better outcomes: POBA, primary stenting, atherectomy, bioresorbable stents or lithoplasty?
A 79-year-old diabetic male patient with no history of coronary disease is referred to you to undergo angioplasty for tissue loss on the tips of the hallux and second toe. He is taking Aspirin 75mg. From preoperative imaging he needs a 20cm SFA occlusion stopping before the adductor hiatus recanalizing as well as multilevel tibial disease which appears to be a combination of short occlusions and stenoses. The dorsal pedal is seen in the foot and is in continuity with the arch. The PT artery appears occluded through it’s whole length.
Speech made for a September 19 – Aortic Disease Awareness Day event hosted by Professor Germano Melissano and Dr Allesandro Pini for Aortic Surgeons, researchers and patients in Milano Italy, describing the idea and need from a patients perspective behind a common day to increase interest, understanding and awareness on rare aortic diseases.

Over the past 35 years, there has been extensive progress in aortic surgery for people with Marfan, Loeys Dietz, and other genetic aortic condition. Dr. Joseph Coselli, Professor, Vice-Chair, Department of Surgery & Chief, Cardiothoracic Surgery, Baylor College of Medicine, and a member of The Marfan Foundation Professional Advisory Board, discussed the advances and the options currently available for these patients. The presentation was made at The Marfan Foundation’s 35th Annual Conference in Houston, Texas, on July 13, 2019
Vascular Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (vEDS) is a condition that is quite variable. People are often diagnosed when they have easy and frequent bruising that is not explained by other causes, a spontaneous bowel, or arterial tears, or because other family members are affected. Some people have characteristic facial features, thin skin, and tissue fragility, while in others the diagnosis is only made after the identification of an alteration in the type III collagen gene, COL3A1. Many people have a difficult time getting diagnosed and getting appropriate management. Dr. Peter Byers, Professor of Pathology and Medicine, UW Medical Center and a member of The Marfan Foundation’s Professional Advisory Board, who is one of the leading experts on vEDS, provided an overview at The Marfan Foundation’s 35th Annual Conference in Houston, TX, July 13, 2019.
In this case report a young female patient with DVT and severe symptoms was successfully treated with endovascular thrombectomy, using the Indigo CAT8 XTORQ catheter from Penumbra. You will see the case and learn some tips and tricks on handling the device.
The peroneal artery often represents the last arterial supply to the foot. The retrograde puncture of this vessel is often avoided because of its deep location and its small diameter. In this video all the tricks to succeed are presented with a step by step approach and a mix of procedural and fluoroscopical imaging to better understand the procedure

Carotid artery stenting is a delicate surgery being sometimes as fast as insidious.
We strongly believe that in order to minimize complications rate an almost obsessive attention to details in each procedural moment is essential.
In this video we report probably the most standardized procedure performed at our institution with 6 operators currently doing each passage exactly the same way.
Of course we don’t claim to show the way it should be done, but just the way we learned to do it after more than 3000 performed cases
A call for awareness from the CLI Global society to safe limbs and lives.
Presented by Professor Zeller at the 1st CLI Congress Germany (www.cli-Kongress.de).
Patient’s characteristics
Gender: Male
Age: 68 years old
Comorbidity: Arterial hypertension, active smoker
Underwent EVAR 2 years ago
Symptoms: None
DUS/CT A: Aneurysm sac growth > 7mm compared to last CT scan with evidence of type II Endoleak (Inferior mesenteric artery)
This case demonstrates the recanalization of the femoropopliteal artery in a patient with CLTI. The reason for the solely retrograde approach was a Y-graft for AAA having the anastomoses at both common femoral arteries, the above-knee amputation of the contralateral limb and the extent of the disease. Primary stent implantation was performed by using the Pulsar-18 (Biotronik) bare-metal stent, which has a 4Fr profile and a proven efficacy according to the 4EVER trial.
