Article Abstract

Technical improvements and labeling updates of the AFX2 stent graft (Endologix Inc, Irvine, CA) seemed to have solved the known issues of its previous generation (AFX Strata). Although most endograft failures after endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm repair will be managed endovascularly, a small subset of patients will still require secondary open conversion. Partial or complete endograft removal can be required, mainly dependent on the characteristics of the stent graft previously placed. We have report a case of secondary open conversion for late type Ia/IIIb endoleak due to stent fracture and fabric tear of the AFX2 stent graft 3 years after endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm repair.

Objective: To compare 6- and 12-month results of femoral artery repair with xenopericardial and autologous venous patch in hybrid treatment of critical lower limb ischemia.

Material And Methods: A retrospective analysis included 60 patients with critical lower limb ischemia who underwent hybrid treatment (balloon angioplasty and stenting of iliac arteries and open reconstruction of femoral arteries). Patients were divided into 2 groups by 30 people depending on femoral artery repair (group 1 - autologous venous patch, group 2 - xenopericardial patch).

Objective: Postoperative intraluminal thrombosis after frozen elephant trunk replacement has been reported to occur with a frequency of 6% to 17% and is associated with poor outcomes. The purpose of this institutional review is to analyze thrombosis rate, predisposing patient and operative factors, and assess different anticoagulation regimens.

Methods: This retrospective cohort study includes 174 patients operated on over 10 years.

Rationale: Ureteral stricture is a complex urological condition often requiring surgical intervention. Autologous tissue grafts, such as lingual mucosa, have emerged as a promising option for reconstruction due to their favorable biocompatibility and vascularity. However, reports on complications associated with these techniques remain limited.

Management and Outcomes of Renal Artery Aneurysms in Older Adults.

Semin Vasc Surg

Department of Endovascular and Vascular Surgery, Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist, 1 Medical Center Blvd, Winston-Salem, NC 27157. Electronic address:

Renal artery aneurysms (RAAs) are rare but clinically significant vascular abnormalities. The management of RAA in older adults poses unique challenges related to their baseline comorbidities and age-related vascular changes. Traditionally, open surgery has been the gold standard for large or complex RAA.

A 74-year-old man who had received Bacillus Calmette-Guérin therapy for bladder cancer developed vasovagal syncope. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography showed multiple pseudoaneurysms in the left internal carotid artery, aorta, and right common femoral artery, which were considered to be infected aneurysms. Parent artery occlusion was planned for the left internal carotid artery, but the balloon occlusion test was not possible because of the patient's restlessness; therefore, the patient was treated with a Viabahn stent graft.
