Efstratios Georgakarakos commented on presentation Vascupedia @ PVI 2023 | Open surgery for peripheral occlusive disease: How to do it?.

»Very nice presentation, indeed showing that the classic TASC-decision making era is outdated, since the TASC not-incorporated modern hybrid approach dictates endo-first, leaving for complementary open approach what cannot be endo-fixed! I'd like to ask whether you use a special re-entry device such as an Outback catheter to entry the true lumen from the subintimal space. Also, when to use simple stents or covered stents? According to my personal experience, when you treat with simple-stents (i.e, self-expandable) lesions which are proven thrombotic rather than atherosclerotic, the immediate or direct thrombotic effect is very likely; in that case, i'd use covered-stents. The same may apply for heavily calcified iliac lesions (such as the one presented and debated in the approx. 6th minute of the presentation), where inflating and covering with a bare stent may lead inadvertently to rupture. Once again, thank you for sharing the presentation.«

»Thank you Markus! 1. We have not seen it yet and I do not think that this can happen. The device is completely released and fixed to the wall before the use of the through-n-through wire 2. Theoretically yes. I have personally done it but this is not recommended by the manufacturer. 3. So far I know, this is not described in the IFU as a clear number. I will ask for a recommendation the manufacturer and I will let you know.«

»Great presentation! I would like to know from your experience: 1. Retrograde cannulation: did you experienced any dislocation of the Enside-graft, due to traction of the through-and-through-wire? 2. Is it possible to remove the T-a-T-wire after deployment of the bridging stent, in order to keep the stabil position of the steerable sheet for e.g. additional lining-stent? 3. Which angle in the visceral segment is possible with this graft?«

Vascular Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome

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.

Martin Schroeder replied to your comment on presentation AV Fistula – Basic vascular surgery skills.

»Thank you for your question, but the answer to this is : no, neither. We don´t saw any problems after the anastomosis suture and in the intraoperative flow measurement with good results at the follow up. But the vein material is very elastic , so im totaly agree that you can give the vene more length if you would. Best regards Martin«

Michel Bosiers commented on presentation Treatment of a juxtarenal aneurysm with heavily calcified iliac arteries using a fenestrated endograft.

»Thanks Kostas, to give you a simple answer: because FEVAR was feasible. This patient would have required at least a double chimney, because the renal artery orifices are on the same level. As you can see on the image of the SMA, there is also some plaque/thrombus burden on the aortic wall, so an adequate treatment would not be possible without using a triple chimney. From the data published we know that the outcome of triple chimneys is not so good.«

Fernando Gallardo replied to your comment on presentation How to deal with a limb occlusion after EVAR?.

»Hi Philipe, Thanks for your comments and questions. Yes, I have realized that is when you are performing high volumen of aortic procedures when problems appear, and the importance of review carefully the planning, not just saying "it was just a limb occlusion due to bad stentgrafts limbs" as I have heard many many times...and it is also our responsibility remain educational and share with other colleagues our experience and failures. 1. Yes, at this case we observed the immediate occlusion of the limb, with a pigtail we delivered a bolus of 300000 UI urokinase inside the aorta and the beginning of the occluded limb, and it worked. No distal embolization was observed, as probably it was a very recent thrombus it was totally disolved. Anyway we assumed this risk. 2. About ACT measurements, I have to be honest with you and our colleagues, I don't use it for standard infrarenal EVAR, usually less 90 mins procedures, I use a 5000 UI doses after proglide deployment (pre-closure), (about 60UI/kg). And sometimes 20 UI Protamine when closing access. For complex EVAR/ FEVAR, we measure ACT with a target pick value <250 sc. 3. Yes It could happen, thrombosis due to heparin-resistance, but in my humble experience there is usually a mechanical cause during the deployment or a failure in the planning or graft selection that could explain the limb occlusion. HIT is quite unfrequent, about 0.3%, in this publication (J Cardiothorac Vasc Anesth. 2017 Oct;31(5):1751-1757. Incidence and Outcomes of Heparin-Induced Thrombocytopenia in Patients Undergoing Vascular Surgery. Chaudhry R1 et all), but at other reports (1-5%). Best regards, Fernando«

commented on presentation How to deal with a limb occlusion after EVAR?.

»Hi Fernando, thank you very much for this nice presentation. Often people publish success stories, but rather rarely problems they have to manage. This is very much appreciated as it gives direct impact into learning how to get out of trouble in different situations. It also demonstrates how important is the initial planning process and the choice of stentgrafts. In one case you mentioned thrombolysis, intra-aortic, with a PigTail catheter. Did this work? No distal embolisation? Also how do you manage intraoperative ACT measurement? What is your target ACT? Do you think some occlusions may occur in the context of Heparin-resistance or even HIT? (I had 2 in the past 2 1/2 years over a volume of 170) Very Best, P«

Theodosios Bisdas replied to your comment on presentation Principles of EVAR planning and sizing – Chapter 2: Sizing & Oversizing.

»Dear Dr. Rashaideh, thank you for the kind words. There is no specific way to measure the real deployment neck diameter in the case of angulation. Thus, the angulated necks are challenging and the poor outcomes of the literature in such necks can be correlated, in my opinion, to wrong oversizing. In the majority of the cases, the markers will stay at the level of the deployment on the side of the attachment of Lunderquist on the aortic wall. If the endograft is undersized, the proximal markers on the other side will be placed underneath of this level and if the endograft is oversized will stay at that level. It makes also no difference if the wire is from the right side or the left side because this is not something that you can influence. It has to do with the angulation of the neck (right- or left-sided). In any case, I will suggest going for at least 30% oversizing in angulated necks. If the 30% oversizing indicates an endograft with a diameter between the pre-specified diameters (28, 32, 36) of the available endografts (e.g. 33 mm), select then the endograft with the bigger diameter (36 mm).«

»very nice teaching presentation . is there a specific way to measure the real deployment neck diameter in case of angulation .. i mean how to predict where and how the graft will deploy depending on the stiff wire . and will it make a difference if the wire is from the right or left side? thanks a lot am very impressed on how you present the data in very interesting way.«

Konstantinos Donas replied to your comment on presentation Gutters after Chimney EVAR: How „PERICLES and PROTAGORAS“ can protect ACHILLES heel?.

»Thank you Michel for your comment. The current body of evidence suggests indeed the use of chimney grafts in juxtarenal pathologies with involvement of one or max. 2 target vessels. Triple chimneys can have several risks and not only more type IA endoleaks. As we published together, use of bilateral access is associated with significant risk of cardiac and cerebrovascular events for those patients. Additionally, we have a risk of persistent type IA endoleak due to the risk of inadequate oversizing to wrap up around the chimney grafts. This possibility was obvious in the new Classification of gutter-related endoleaks based on the causative mechanisms, published last year in J. Endovascular Therapy. In summary, triple chimneys should be considered only in case of anatomical or clinical contraindications for f-EVAR. I hope that soon we will be able to evaluate this cohort of patients from the PERICLES group and provide more scientific impetus for this indication.«

Theodosios Bisdas replied to your comment on presentation Total endovascular treatment of the aortic arch after type A dissection with chimney and sandwich technique.

»Hi Michel! Thank you for your question. Regarding your first question. I did not use for example the Endurant limb because of the length (82mm) and the difference of the materials compared to the cTAG (Dacron vs PTFE). I think the gutter could be an issue. The IIA-branch of the IBD device is tapered (16 to 12mm) and shorter (70mm). Regarding your second question, the downwards orientated branch for the LSA allows access for a branched endograft and principally for a transbrachial approach.«

Theodosios Bisdas replied to your comment on presentation Total endovascular treatment of the aortic arch after type A dissection with chimney and sandwich technique.

»Thank you, Martin! Well, we are far away from a well-established protocol for CSI protection. Especially, in that case, you have to be very quick after deploying the thoracic endograft over the aortic arch. There are some new filters for the brachiocephalic trunk and the LCCA but these are applicable only in TEVAR cases. When you have to get access for the supraaortic vessels you have no option to protect the brain. My measures are: 1. Remove very carefully the air from the devices 2. Check multiple times your angiographic catheters to avoid air embolisation 3. Avoid a lot of manipulations with your thoracic endograft 4. Introduce the large-bore sheaths (12F), when you really need them and not from the beginning of the procedure 5. Check the quality of your arch at the angio-CT before planning your procedure.«

»Amazing case Theo! Great tutorial from many points of view. Great discussion. Meticulous planning is the key to success in these cases! That's why they didn't use C-S bypass, Michael even so it would make sense, but this would have closed the door for further interventions distally if needed. Theo, can you comment on your CSI protective measures in complex TEVAR cases and what's the incidence of stroke and how to minimize it? Thanks«

Hirofumi Ohtani replied to your comment on presentation Fully Percutaneous Transaxillary Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation in patients with a patent left internal mammary graft.

»Thank you for the questions. 1) selfexpandable stents as viaban or fluency are definitely preferable. At the moment of the interventions we did not have the correct size. Corrective action: Now we have them on the shelf!!! 2) to puncture under eco and fluoro+contrast guidance in the more distal portion of the axillary artery. Also, theoretically, the proglide pre-closure is little traumatic to the vessel.«

»Excellent presentation of a challenging case. I have only 2 questions: 1) Do you have any concerns regarding the deployment of a balloon expandable covered stent in an area exposed to high mechanical stress? 2) Median nerve injury can be a major complication of a percutaneous transaxillary access. Which is your strategy/approach in order to avoid it?«

»Thank you Hirofumi Ohtani for your tremendous presentation. I totally agree with the potential for a valuable arterial access. Your experience is also important for CMD-BEVAR or T-branch Devices. One question: would it be possible to use Prostar XL instead of ProGlide if the vessel diameter is big enough? Regards«

»Thank you for your answer Theo! My question was not precise, sorry. It is obvious, that you've done a great case with this chimney/periscope exclusion and not with a CMD. I am sure the planning was complex. My question is your general opinion about CM-branched-devices for the arch if indicated. You answered my question why it was not possible in this particular case. Maybe it is possible in the future to see a CMD-case for the arch at Vascupedia. Your opinion about the indication and characteristics would be valuable for the vascular public. Again, great job!«

Theodosios Bisdas replied to your comment on presentation Total endovascular treatment of the aortic arch after type A dissection with chimney and sandwich technique.

»Thank you Arne for your questions. 1. We decided against a 3 chimney for 2 reasons: (a) to avoid a bigger gutter and (b) to have the option for an antegrade (transbrachial) access to the descending aorta (e.g. further endovascular repair with fenestrated or branched endograft) 2. See my comment to Dr. Sensebat 3. The patient will receive dual antiplatelet treatment for 3 months and afterwards only ASA. However, I cannot support this with any kind of evidence. The advantage is that we have large bridging stent-grafts (12 mm for the brachiocephalic trunk and 10mm for LCCA and LSA).«

Theodosios Bisdas replied to your comment on presentation Total endovascular treatment of the aortic arch after type A dissection with chimney and sandwich technique.

»Thank you Özgün for your question. This was not a custom-made device, but an off-the-shelf treatment with chimney and sandwich technique. A custom-made device was not indicated in that case due to the short length of the replaced ascending aorta. There are strict inclusion and exclusion criteria for those cases. We decided to go forward with an endovascular approach due to the comorbidity of the patient and the redo operation.«

Özgün Sensebat replied to your comment on presentation Diagnostic algorithms for endoleaks.

»Prof. Verzini, Thank you for your answer. I hope that MR scans will get more and more important in the future, parallel to the regular use of non-steal grafts. Personally, I am a bit concerned about the radiogenic consequences for a patient younger than 70 y/o, who passed an EVAR procedure. Not because of the EVAR, more because of the follow-up by regular CT scans. I think the MR based follow-up will reduce this risk dramatically. Again, thank you for your answer. I hope we will join more vascular knowledge from Perugia at Vascupedia.«

Fabio Verzini replied to your comment on presentation Diagnostic algorithms for endoleaks.

»Dear friend Thanks for your comments. I agree with you, MR scannings of stainless steel endografts suffer from artifacts that usually render the exams unreliable. I think MR will not gain widespread use in the next future. Pts. with stainless steel endografts will decrease in the future anyway, since nowdays the vast majority of the grafts are in nitinol or cobalt-chrome.«

Fernando Gallardo commented on presentation Two technical tips for severely angulated infrarenal necks during EVAR.

»Thanks for sharing your tricks. For this maniouver I have used as Pr Efstratios comments a Relliant Ballon partially inflated to straight the neck is much us possible, but also using the contralateral limb sistems works, and probably a long big sheat or anything that could make righter the neck could works... Anyway for more 70 angulation we should be careful, my option now for this neck is more Aorfix or even Gore with Aptus, more comfortable grafts. The battle stentgrafts VS hostile anatomy will be always won by the anatomy at mid-long term!! Also consider that Endurant suprarrenal stent is totally straight, difference with COOK suprarrenal stent, and in cases with severe angulations I have seen total apposition of the suprarrenal stent one half side and the half of the suprarrenal stent free in the aorta without wall contact... Best regards Fernando«

Theodosios Bisdas replied to your comment on presentation Two technical tips for severely angulated infrarenal necks during EVAR.

»Exactly Stratos! You could not describe it by a better way. The risk of angulated necks is the poor apposition of the proximal stents on the wall. This is a good solution. Your suggestion is also good and works fine. I have tried it in the past. The only advantage of my tip is that you win some time because you do not need to remove the sheath of the contralateral extension. After implanting the ETLW you do not remove it but you further open the main body. Then, you connect the top cap and you advance the sheath of contralateral extension at the height of the top cap. In any case, both work fine.«

Efstratios Georgakarakos commented on presentation Two technical tips for severely angulated infrarenal necks during EVAR.

»Nice information and demonstration. If i get it right, the philoshophy of the “pushing-up”maneuver of the mainbody after the top-cap release (and before the contralateral limb release) is to shrink the fabric between the 1st and 2nd covered stent, thereby reducing the distance between these covered stents and aproximating them in order to achieve the optimal position of these within the infrarenal neck length; therefore, you should start pushing-up the whole device just after the deployment of the 1st stent-top cap release and before the deployment of the 2nd covered stent, so that the latter could actually be positioned as close as it gets to the 1st one, leaving perhaps extra place for the third stent etc., isn’t it? Regarding the 2nd excellent tip of yours i.e., engagement of cap with suprarenal stent, an alternative maneuver would be to inflate a Relay molding balloon mildly leaving a pathway through which the top cap could withdraw safely without the aforementioned problem.«

Theodosios Bisdas commented on presentation Two technical tips for severely angulated infrarenal necks during EVAR.

»Thank you, Philippe, for your comment. Of course, you need experience with this maneuver. The trick here is to 'cram' the prosthesis into the angulated neck. I have not seen an upward migration yet, but there is sure a risk for this. Thus, you have to do smooth movements and to use some landmarks of the vertebral bodies for your renal arteries. An important issue is also the oversizing in those cases: we recommend at least 30%.«

Comment on Jun 02, 2018

Theodosios Bisdas replied to your comment on presentation Percutaneous thrombectomy of bridging stent-grafts after chEVAR.

»Hi Philippe! You mean probably Theo! :-) We have seen several occlusions with the bridging stent-grafts after both chimney and branched endografting and the majority of them were observed at the renal arteries. The incidence is lower with fenestrated endografts. The oversizing was 1 mm as usually. We think that the problem was the relining with the bare-metal stent. In the video (7:31), after the Indigo thrombectomy, someone has the feeling that the distal end of the bare metal stent has almost perforated the native vessel wall. We have studied this issue in a previous paper (Panuccio et al. Eur J Vasc Endovasc Surg. 2015 Jul;50(1):60-70) and we found that relining of the Advanta with a self-expanded bare-metal stent was a risk factor for occlusion in the renal arteries after brEVAR.«
