Intertwining Coil and Catheter During Brain Arterial-Venous Malformation Embolization: A Case Report of a Rare Complication.

Cerebral arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are rare vascular anomalies associated with a risk of devastating intracerebral hemorrhage. They are often diagnosed following the appearance of seizures, focal neurological signs, or bleeding. In such cases endovascular embolization, which aims to occlude the AVM nidus and reduce risk of hemorrhage, has become a crucial therapeutic approach.

Predictors of failure to rescue after fenestrated-branched endovascular aortic repair of thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms.

Objective: Failure to rescue (FTR), defined as mortality due to failure in responding to in-hospital complications, is an important quality indicator. This study aimed to assess incidence and predictors for FTR among centers performing fenestrated-branched endovascular aortic repair (FB-EVAR) of thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms (TAAA).

Methods: Consecutive patients treated by FB-EVAR for TAAAs between 2005 and 2022 in 27 centers of the International Multicenter Aortic Research Group were analyzed.

A type II endoleak from an accessory renal artery treated with laser assisted, transgraft coil embolization: A case report.

The main complications of coverage accessory renal artery (ARA) are renal infarction and potentially renal function impairment and type II endoleak if firm apposition to the aortic wall is not achieved. We describe the management of an ARA type II endoleak treated by laser-assisted, transgraft coil embolization (LATE). A 76-year-old patient underwent a computed tomography scan 4 years after endovascular aneurysm repair.

Evaluating the feasibility of contrast-enhanced ultrasound for detecting after preemptive coiling endoleaks in endovascular aortic aneurysm repair: A pilot study.

Endovascular aortic aneurysm repair is widely used for the treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA), but has a 10% to 40% incidence of type II endoleak during follow-up. There are various techniques to treat these endoleaks in the case of enlarging of the AAA, but the clinical effectiveness is low. In recent years, preemptive AAA sac embolization has shown some encouraging results with significant AAA shrinkage.

Sex-Related Differences and Factors Associated with Peri-Procedural and 1 Year Mortality in Chronic Limb-Threatening Ischemia Patients from the CLIMATE Italian Registry.

Background: Identifying sex-related differences/variables associated with 30 day/1 year mortality in patients with chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI).

Methods: Multicenter/retrospective/observational study. A database was sent to all the Italian vascular surgeries to collect all the patients operated on for CLTI in 2019.

How the First Year of the COVID-19 Pandemic Impacted Patients' Hospital Admission and Care in the Vascular Surgery Divisions of the Southern Regions of the Italian Peninsula.

Background: To investigate the effects of the COVID-19 lockdowns on the vasculopathic population. Methods: The Divisions of Vascular Surgery of the southern Italian peninsula joined this multicenter retrospective study. Each received a 13-point questionnaire investigating the hospitalization rate of vascular patients in the first 11 months of the COVID-19 pandemic and in the preceding 11 months.

Sequential Minimally Invasive Treatment of Concomitant Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm and Colorectal Cancer: A Single-Center Experience.

Background: The surgical management of concomitant occurrence of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) and colorectal cancer (CRC) is still controversial. Conversely, benefits from a minimally invasive approach are well known concerning the treatment of both AAA and CRC. The aim of this study is to assess safety and feasibility of a sequential 2-staged minimally invasive during the same recovery by endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) technique and laparoscopic colorectal resection.

Position Paper on Young Vascular Surgeons Training of the Mediterranean Federation for the Advancing of Vascular Surgery (MeFAVS): State of the Art and Perspectives.

The Mediterranean Federation for the Advancing of Vascular Surgery (MeFAVS) was founded in 2018, with the aim to promote cooperation among vascular professionals within Mediterranean countries. Due to its prominent social and economic impact on national health systems, diabetic peripheral artery was selected as the very first topic to be investigated by the federation. In this second paper, different experiences from delegates of participating countries were shared to define common strategies to harmonize, standardize, and optimize education and training in the Vascular Surgery specialty.

Case report of a large cephalic vein aneurysm inducing heart failure in a renal transplant patient with radio-cephalic fistula for haemodialysis.

Introduction: The autologous arteriovenous fistula (AVF) is considered the best vascular access for haemodialysis in patients with chronic kidney disease but in time can lead to several complications.

Presentation Of A Case: Herein we describe a case of a large cephalic vein aneurysm causing heart failure in a renal transplant patient being treated with radio-cephalic AVF for haemodialysis. The patient was judged to be at very high risk for potential catastrophic rupture of the aneurysm and his cardiac function was deteriorating so a surgical resection was offered.
