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

Shape your learning experience on Vascupedia
Dear colleagues, our mission is to help physicians worldwide to bring their interventions to perfection. Our hope is to indirectly contribute to safety and well-being of patients with vascular diseases.
Over a year ago, we started Vascupedia as a unique online project that we believe fulfills the need for free education in the challenging field of Vascular Medicine. Now it’s time to ask you to help us to become better for you! Are we offering the right information in the right way at the right level? Is there anything missing to support you in your quest to grow your knowledge to treat your patients in the best possible way? Please complete this short survey to make sure we will work on improving the platform to serve YOUR educational needs!
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).

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.
In this step by step video you can see the treatment of a vascular injury after arthroscopy and the performing of a fasciotomy.
Although we favor a more distal location of the AVF to circumvent the need to use covered stent extensions to destroy the valves and avoid bleeding off venous flow via collaterals, sometimes (e.g. due to extreme vessel calcification) it is unavoidable to have to look for a more proximal inflow. The versatility of the VAST maneuver allows to perform a proximal DVA at the origin of the PT artery with conventional off-the-shelf devices.”

This is a round table discussion about CO2 during EVAR and complex EVAR in the framework of the annual meeting of Angiodroid in Bologna, Italy. In this round table discussion, 5 European experts present current evidence and their experience about the use of CO2 in the treatment of aortic diseases (s. chapters). Moreover, the panellists discuss all important benefits and drawbacks of the technique and present for the first time the study protocol of the prospective CO2 EVAR registry.
Why an interwoven nitinol stent is the ideal device for SFA/popliteal lesions.
Correlation between vessels dynamics and mechanical properties of the stent.

This presentation aims to highlight the usefulness of surgical drawing in practice. It sums up experiences, planning and real cases of the past 5 years of practice in vascular surgery. As I got tremendous positive feedback from patients, colleagues, GP’s, relatives and artists, I decided to share this experience with the vascular community.
Isolated dissection of the superior mesenteric artery (SMA) is rare and remains the most common reason for aneurysmal degeneration of the vessel. The treatment is challenging and not standardized. We present the case of a 50-year old male presented with a 3.3 cm dissecting aneurysm of the SMA and epigastric pain of moderate severity.
TCAR is a hibryd option for CAS offering the best cerebral protection with reverse flow system engaging the common carotid artery with the contralateral common femoral vein. The Roadster Trial has the best data never published regarding Peri-operative neurological events for a prospective multicentre Trial. The procedure could be perform under local anesthesia with the patient copletely awake.
