Transaxillary TEVAR with an in situ fenestrated Endurant tube endograft for a ruptured thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm

This patient was admitted at Athens Medical Center with a contained rupture of the thoracoabdominal aorta. The CT scan revealed complete occlusion of the infrarenal aorta with collateralisation of the profunda arteries at both sites through the SMA and the Riolan anastomosis. In his previous history, the patient was treated with an aortobifemoral bypass for Leriche syndrome (2008) with graft infection (2010) and replacement of the aorta with femoral veins (2010). We planned a transaxillary TEVAR (diameter of proximal left axillary artery: 6.5cm) and triple puncture of the right axillary artery.

How to use a 20 mL-syringe to explant an infected stentgraft with suprarenal fixation?

Suprarenal fixation of aortic stentgraft can be left in place when explantation is performed in uninfected situations such as ruptured endoleak or acute thrombosis. In case of infections and especially in stentgraft-enteric fistula, this strategy can promote reinfection and recurrence of the fistula. Total control of the suprarenal aorta and visceral arteries revascularisation can be achieved through a left retroperitoneal approach but with poor access to repair the bowel in case of fistula. In this situation midline laparotomy is the best approach to perform the repair of the bowel and syringe extraction represents a valuable option to explant the stentgraft

Spontaneous Rupture of SFA

This is an 81-Year-old patient presented with a spontaneous rupture of the superficial femoral artery of the left leg and on arrival to hospital he developed DVT in the same leg with pulmonary emboli which makes the anticoagulation policy to be quiet interesting, IVC filter has been deployed and covered stent has been implanted in his ruptured artery with endoleak type 1 B which settled conservatively, I hope you enjoy watching this case and looking forward to all your great comments

Recorded webinar – Percutaneous Venous Arterialization

Up to 20% of patients with Critical Limb Ischemia (CLI) are not considered good candidates for endovascular revascularization. If recanalization of a chronic occlusion of a BTK/ BTA artery proves to be impossible owing to the inability to cross an extensive occlusion or in the presence of a “desert foot”, percutaneous venous arterialization has proven to be a bailout strategy for limb salvage. Drs. August Ysa and Marta Lobato, from Vascular Surgery Dpt. Hospital de Cruces, Barakaldo (Spain), present the last update in Percutaneous Venous Arterialization technique and expose a Case in the box.

How to perform a clampless hybrid aortic anastomosis

In various circumstances of aortic repairs, such as heavy circumferential calcifications or shaggy aorta with extensive thrombus, open and endovascular techniques are at high risk. In such cases, aortic clamping is fraught with risks of aortic rupture or emboli while endovascular techniques may not be successful with also a risk of emboli. Hybrid techniques may be an elegant solution. We describe here a hybrid technique that allows performing an aortic anastomosis without clamping thereby avoiding the above-cited risks. This educational video will allow other vascular surgeons to reproduce the technique.

Extreme retrograde metatarsal puncture in a complex CLI case

After an unsuccessful antegrade recanalization attempt of the ATA/DP  due to vessel perforation, an extreme retrograde puncture of the first metatarsal artery was performed. Following a  1.5 mm balloon dilatation, the rendezvous of the wires was obtained using the CART technique. 2 mm DCB balloon angioplasty of the DP, 2.5mm for the distal ATA and 3mm for the proximal ATA were subsequently performed.  The completion angio showed full blushing of the target lesion, and  excellent flow on the forefoot including the plantar arch.
