Article Abstract
Objective: This study was performed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of endovascular stenting and embolization for the management of radiation-induced peripheral arterial pseudoaneurysms.
Methods: Twelve consecutive patients with radiation-induced peripheral arterial pseudoaneurysms (diameter of 10-30 mm and mean size of 20.42 mm) were admitted to our hospital from 1 January 2015 to 31 October 2019. The patients' baseline characteristics, perioperative parameters, device characteristics, and curative effects were systematically recorded and analyzed.
Results: The 12 patients comprised 3 men and 9 women with a mean age of 62.90 ± 13.97 years. The iliac artery was the most commonly involved artery, followed by the subclavian artery. In all patients, the pseudoaneurysms were detected by enhanced computed tomography. Twelve covered stents were deployed (7 or 8 mm in diameter and 50 mm in length). Additional coil embolization was performed in three patients (Patients 8, 9, and 10). The primary and secondary technical success rate was 91.7% and 100%, respectively. Apart from one death caused by rebleeding, no patients developed rebleeding during follow-up.
Conclusion: Endovascular stenting and coil embolization are feasible and effective for the management of radiation-induced peripheral arterial pseudoaneurysms in highly selected patients.

ObjectiveThis study aims to determine the outcomes of nickel allergic patients who underwent a trial of forearm arterial stenting with a nickel-based stent, with follow-up to assess for an allergic reaction. In the absence of adverse effects, patients had their intracranial aneurysm treatment with a nickel-based cerebrovascular device.MethodsA retrospective analysis was performed on patients who had an allergy to nickel, with an intracranial aneurysm who underwent treatment with a permanently implanted nickel-containing device.

The role of intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) in patients with tandem lesions (TL) undergoing endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) for acute ischemic stroke (AIS) remains a subject of ongoing debate. The substantial clot burden and the potential need for periprocedural antiplatelet therapy during emergent carotid stenting (CAS) add to the complexity of treatment decisions. This study aims to systematically review and meta-analyze the literature to evaluate the comparative safety and efficacy of IVT plus EVT versus EVT alone in AIS patients with TL.

Objective: Endovascular treatment of cerebrovascular diseases can be challenging in patients with difficult access routes. We describe a turn-over technique using a balloon guiding catheter (BGC) via the transfemoral approach to perform neuroendovascular treatment.
Case Presentation: An 80-year-old female with a recurrent right middle cerebral artery (MCA) aneurysm after coil embolization underwent successful stent-assisted coiling via the transfemoral approach.

Chronic mesenteric ischemia typically presents with postprandial abdominal pain and weight loss due to atherosclerotic stenosis of mesenteric arteries. Endovascular treatment has become the first-line management, demonstrating lower early mortality and fewer complications compared to open surgery. Recent evidence shows that covered stents provide superior long-term outcomes, with better primary patency and freedom from reintervention than bare-metal stents.

Type II endoleak is the most common complication after endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm repair. Type II endoleak with aneurysm sac growth is not benign for long-term outcomes of endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm repair and should be treated to prevent secondary stent graft-related complications and aneurysm rupture. The current consensus is to consider treatments for persistent type II endoleak with significant aneurysm sac growth.
