The thoracoabdominal multibranch endoprosthesis is a commercially available off-the-shelf four-vessel inner branched endograft for complex abdominal and thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms. Although the device is intended to be used with upper extremity access per its instructions for use, total transfemoral approach may be needed in patients with unfavorable arch anatomy and may decrease the risk of cerebrovascular events. This article describes technical strategies and pitfalls of total transfemoral thoracoabdominal multibranch endoprosthesis implantation techniques with conventional co-axial steerable sheath, as well as variations of techniques utilizing preloaded wires in "up-and-over" configuration.

BackgroundMechanical thrombectomy (MT) is a well-established treatment for acute large-vessel occlusion. While the transfemoral approach (TFA) is the standard, it can be challenging in elderly patients with tortuous vasculature. The transbrachial approach (TBA) offers a shorter and more direct route but is associated with more puncture site complications.

Background: Covered stent implantation has become a common approach for management of iliofemoral vascular complications in patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), but the long-term outcomes associated with this approach are unknown. The aims of the study were 1) to evaluate the incidence and indication for covered stent placement in patients undergoing TAVR, 2) to assess long-term clinical outcomes after covered stent placement, and 3) to describe the performance of covered stents over long-term follow-up as assessed by Doppler ultrasonography.
Methods: Retrospective cohort study of patients undergoing iliofemoral covered stent implantation at the time of TAVR in a single high-volume UK center.

The mechanical behavior of prosthetic liners significantly influences stress distribution, soft tissue protection, and the overall efficiency of the prosthetic. While extensive research has been conducted on liner materials, the impact of liner thickness (2 mm, 4 mm, and 6 mm) on biomechanical response remains underexplored. This study utilizes finite element analysis in Abaqus to investigate how liner material (Gel vs.

Despite a radial-first approach in many neurointerventions, there are no systematic reviews and meta-analysis which comprehensively assess radial-specific catheter for neuroendovascular procedures. A systematic literature search was conducted through four electronic databases based on PRISMA 2020 guideline. Risk of bias was assessed employing Risk of Bias in Non-randomized Studies of Interventions (ROBINS-I) tool.

Guidelines recommend trans-radial access (TRA) for all percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). However, no randomized trials have shown a lower mortality when compared to the femoral approach in chronic coronary disease and femoral access may be preferred in certain situations. Consecutive eligible patients in a multicentre registry between 2014 - 2020 were included.
